Re: Chauvin Jury deliberation poll

I wonder if the jurors think, every time Nelson says "non-lethal force", "but he DIED so it isn't non-lethal"?

2.5 hours so far and no sign of slowing down so I'm turning it off and going take a shower. If he ever finishes, the jury will get a lunch break then Blackwell to wrap it all up. I should be back by then.
He knew he was going to be "long-winded" (his words, several times) and he took over at about 11:40, so why didn't he ask for the lunch break before he started talking? Or plan a logical break point in his closing? Attorneys can do that, can't they?LM K wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 3:19 pm The judge just interrupted the defense to take the lunch break. He apologized for interrupting the defense, but said they have to break.
Lunch is 30 minutes.
I hope jurors get caffeinated if they plan to get through the afternoon.
Nelson is guaranteeing the the jury will not deliberate until tomorrow, thus the jurors will have all evening to ruminate over the prosecution's rebuttal. Not smart.
Washington Post court reporter said that evidence show you have 45-60 minutes before you lose the juror.
Jurors are probably getting pissed off with Nelson. It's after 2pm, and jurors are just now getting to eat lunch. And the jury is going to be sequestered for a night after getting no deliberations (or a tiny bit) done. Not smart of Nelson.
Yeah, the angry crowd who was so hostile and scary they didn't even step off the curb.sterngard friegen wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 3:22 pm I need to change my forecast to tomorrow before lunch. I didn't realize that Nelson was going to filibuster the jury -- and really piss them off.
As for the angry crowd, I hope the jurors all remember that terrifying, superhuman 9 year old girl who watched the murder. She must have been a real threat to Chauvin.

Not to mention the fact that Nelson kept showing clips from the Chauvin snuff film. I believe I would have avoided that.LM K wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 3:32 pmSternie: Is there anything effective in the defense's closing argument?sterngard friegen wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 3:22 pm I need to change my forecast to tomorrow before lunch.

On what planet would a 3 hour closing be a smart move?
My Ms. Shrinky Lady opinion; the jurors are going to be so bored, frustrated, and confused by the defense's closing that they aren't going to consider it at all. They will likely try to be thoughtful about the defense's arguments, but emotionally and cognitively, they can't spend anymore time on the defense. They'll mean well, but Nelson has abused any good will he could have obtained today.
You sure he's not going to drone on and on so the day ends with his closing and rebuttal doesn't happen till tomorrow? That way, the jurors will ruminate about the defense's closing and not the rebuttal?
That Floyd's blood oxygen was 98%. That was buried early on. I would have put that last.LM K wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 3:32 pmsterngard friegen wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 3:22 pm I need to change my forecast to tomorrow before lunch.

How did they know his blood O2 was 98%? They noted my blood O2 a couple of weeks ago using a pulse oximeter. It was a device they put on my finger and it somehow read the O2 level as my blood was pumping through my body. If I slowed my breathing down for more than a few seconds, my O2 level would began to drop. Once blood is exposed to air, it will oxygenate. I'm not a medical person by a long shot, but how do you read that on a dead person?sterngard friegen wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 4:02 pm That Floyd's blood oxygen was 98%. That was buried early on.

I wonder if it was targeted not at 'the jury', but one or two who are looking for an excuse? Ramble for hours and there is bound to be something a person can latch onto, and the prosecution is not going to be able to respond (or maybe even remember) everything.LM K wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 3:32 pm My Ms. Shrinky Lady opinion; the jurors are going to be so bored, frustrated, and confused by the defense's closing that they aren't going to consider it at all.

They tested the arterial blood itself. It's more accurate than a pulse oximeter, and the arterial blood wouldn't have been exposed to air before testing. As to the 98%, the resuscitation attempts could account for that, and CO takes longer to leave the system than they tried to revive him (half-life of 5 hours).zekeb wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 4:10 pmHow did they know his blood O2 was 98%?
