OUR SORRY PRESIDENT'S PRAYER WAS ANSWERED

President Biden prayed for the conviction of Derek Chauvin


By Howie Katz

 

Chauvin, 45, was accused of killing Floyd by pinning his knee on the 46-year-old black man's neck for 9 minutes, 29 seconds, as he lay face-down in handcuffs after being detained for using an alleged counterfeit $20 bill to buy cigarettes

After deliberating only 10 and a half hours, the jury answered answered President Biden's prayer for the conviction of Derek Chauvin.  The jury found the former Minneapolis police officer guilty of all three counts - second degree murder, third degree murder and second degree manslaughter - in the death of George Floyd.    

Biden, who as President, should not have told reporters that the evidence against Chauvin was "overwhelming" and that he had called the Floyd family to tell them he was praying for the conviction of Chauvin.

The trial lasted three weeks, but it took the jury only a few hours to reach a unanimous verdict.  The fastness of the jury foretold a guilty verdict.

Several factors figured in the guilty verdict on all three counts.

1.  The prosecution did an outstanding job in presenting its case.

2. Chauvin's attorney did a poor job.

3. Although the judge instructed the jury to disregard the reaction - rioting, burning, looting - to their verdict, you know that must have weighed on the minds of the jury.  That' why they did not just convict Chauvin of manslaughter.
 
The prosecutors took 11 days to present their case, used 38 witnesses and played dozens of video clips showing Chauvin with his knee on Floyd's neck.

The defense took only 2 days and called only 7 witnesses.  One of the 'expert' witnesses was a quack pathologist who testified that the exhaust fumes from the police car could have caused Floyd's death.  He might as well have testified that pigs can fly ... that would have been just as believable 
 
The media, BLM and demagogue Al Shapton bestowed George Floyd with sainthood. Almost hidden was the fact that Saint George was a career criminal with 23 arrests since 1998, and an ex-con who was loaded with fentanyl and meth when Chauvin and his fellow officers arrested him for passing a $20 counterfeit bill.

Following the verdict, Sharpton, together with Benjamin Crump and the Floyd family, celebrated the legal lynching of Derek Chauvin.

In any event, President Biden once again proved he is a national disgrace.
