Chauvin Trial

Yes I know you need to file an appeal same as here but wasn’t sure if you remained in custody or it was the courts discretion to allow you to leave custody as it is here.
Not a lawyer but I poked about for the sake my curiosity. In Michigan:

(2) A motion for bond or for a stay pending appeal may not be filed in the Court of Appeals unless such a motion was decided by the trial court.

(3) A motion for bond or a stay pending appeal filed in the Court of Appeals must include a copy of the trial court's opinion and order, and a copy of the transcript of the hearing on the motion in the trial court.


So, it's possible that Chauvin could be allowed to post bond after sentencing and awaiting an appeal. It depends on what the trial court rules at the end of this trial. I'd be surprised if he is allowed but I'm already 0 for 1 on predictions in this trial, so I'm not going to take another swing just yet.

"they" tell the judge. The judge is a minion of "them"

I think I saw that movie as a kid on TV! It's what used to pass for SciFi, but I preferred Arthur C Clarke, real science fiction. Hard to write like that these days with the pace of discovery and technology and knowing where the boundaries of the possible are. These days its space opera except for things like the expanse, but I enjoy space opera too, like startrek, starwars happened long long ago in a Galaxy far far away and that's a neat idea too.

'No sympathy' for Chauvin, say those who had run-ins before Floyd (yahoo.com)

'No sympathy' for Chauvin, say those who had run-ins before Floyd
MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - For some of those who encountered Derek Chauvin's policing or witnessed his use of force as an officer there is no sympathy for the man convicted of killing George Floyd.

Chauvin was the subject of at least 17 complaints during his career, according to police records, but only one led to discipline. Prosecutors sought permission to introduce eight prior use-of-force incidents, but the judge would only allow two. In the end the jury heard none.

Eric Nelson, Chauvin's lawyer, has defended his client's use of force as appropriate in potentially dangerous situations.

"I don't have no sympathy for him. I think he got what he deserved," Julian Hernandez, 38, a carpenter now working in Pennsylvania, told Reuters.

Hernandez said he never heard anything from the Minneapolis police after submitting a complaint about Chauvin, who he said "choked him out" during an encounter in a Minneapolis night club in 2015. A spokesman for the Minneapolis Police Department declined to comment.

According to Chauvin's police report, Hernandez failed to follow orders and resisted arrest when Chauvin, who was working as an off-duty security guard, tried to escort him out of a night club. Chauvin's report said this prompted him to apply "pressure toward his Lingual Artery" to subdue Hernandez.

Hernandez said Chauvin picked him out of the crowd for no reason and quickly escalated to violence. He said Chauvin should have been removed from the police force.

As Monroe Skinaway, 75, took in news of Chauvin's conviction, he flashed back to the night he witnessed Chauvin pin another man to the pavement with the same detached look as when he knelt on Floyd's neck.

Tucker Carlson laughs manically in George Floyd segment - New York Daily News (nydailynews.com)

Tucker Carlson cackles at, then cuts off an NYC law enforcement expert who breaks with the host’s Derek Chauvin narrative

Fox News host Tucker Carlson cackled at, then dismissed the opinions of a New York City law enforcement veteran who strayed from the far right-wing pundit’s narrative on Tuesday’s murder conviction of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
Carlson’s interview with Former New York City Deputy Sheriff Ed Gavin began with the host leading Gavin with the question “Who’s going to become a cop going forward, do you think?”

Gavin didn’t appear to see police officers as the victims in the killing of George Floyd, where video showed Chauvin kneeling on the victim’s neck for nearly 9½ minutes.
“Well, I think people will still become police officers,” Gavin said. “This really is a learning experience for everyone. Let’s face it, what we saw in that video was pure savagery.”
Carlson crunched his eyebrows as Gavin said that based on his experiences, the “emotionally disturbed” Floyd had been successfully contained — and more — during the “excessive” May 2020 traffic stop that cost him his life. Gavin also said he’d like to see more training for police.
“I’ve used force on literally over 500 people in my 21-year career in the New York City Department of Corrections, and in the New York City Sheriff’s Department,” Gavin said. “I’ve never had anybody go unconscious. That was truly an excessive, unjustified use of force.”

Physically.. not mentally. He's about to get locked down like crazy because how much protection he needs. He's basically about to go into solitary until he dies or they think it's safe
Poor fucking baby. If it is too tough he can join Floyd and discuss it.
