watch until the end...

I am tempted to think they might hold off until sentencing...maybe see if Judge gives a light sentence before filing but I am pretty sure an Appeals court will not find any reversible error.... Quicker this is all done the better

What brave officers restraining that tough 6 year old crying and complying...

The judge threw it in the trash don't forget so no appeal is going to be successful simply because a Congresswoman said something. The judge instructs the jury to not let any outside opinion or news influence their deliberations and how could we have trials if we constantly dismiss cases...

8 weeks

When I see this news I am so conflicted.... part of me wants them caught and thrown in prison for years, part of me feels for them since they are kids and some adults who should know better probably taught them this to the point of brainwashing them and those adults should go to prison while the...

The presence of children is an aggravting factor because it makes the crime more heinous, not that it makes one less likely to commit the crime. If I take a pipe to teh side of your head it is a nasty crime. If I know there are children present and still do it, it is even worse because of the...

i stopped being shocked that Dems and GOP are opportunistic whores...makes me less shocked when they speak

See... if we could applaud cops as heroes and use that same breath to condemn them when they kill, the overall relationship would be much stronger. It is sad we can all see a cop coming on to a scene and saving someone's life but when it is a bad cop suddenly half the people shut up or come...

In this case there really is no grounds for appeal unless the sentence is too severe in their opinion. I di dnot hear about any significant objections made during the trial which are often done to reserve for appeal. Defense is going to fight for the minimum sentence and focus attention there.

Again it is up to the judge not us to decide to add on years for aggravated circumstances which is codified in the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines...

If there was no civilian video this was the headline... not the murder we knew it was: This is why we dont trust cops becuase they lie...

Wait is this for real? I will wait until the whole story is out but wtf man

If there was no video evidence in this case, arbery case, walter scott.... there would be no convictions. It is sad that without a video, the cops could have told whatever story and gotten away with it... Chauvin was not the only cop there so it is unfair that he gets all the prison sentences...

As soon as he said we don't want your tacquerias the support fizzled quickly.. "Hey man those tacos are fucking delicious....you tripping..." I hope some of those people are recognized and fired from their jobs...

Well it is not our opinion but what the judge feels. If there were cildren present or other factors he could bump it to 15 years or more if he wanted to.

There is actually an aggravated factor if there are children present in MINN (just saw that). Not sure what that adds but there were children present at the scene so who knows how the judge will view that.

ok boomer you are the one who asked the question about why they didn't ask to move the venue...and then maybe a 5 second google search found your answer.. you got schooled 4x but I am ready for the fifth if you keep digging the hole... Notice how no one else rushing to defend you here...

12.5 years for first time offender but prosecution can ask for longer sentence due to aggravated factors. That is why sentencing is in 8 weeks. Motions will be presented to the judge who will decide. Juries can sometimes be asked to decide on aggravating factors but the defense waived that...

I am pretty sure sentencing is done by judges in almost all criminal cases. I am trying to think of some exceptions but sentencing is by statute, not by jury. Most states have strict sentencing guidelines so the judge is already given a range to decide within and narrow leeway...
