I believe that the lawyers and jurors should keep low until the job is over.
Don''t they have lawyers to advise them of how easily their verdict can be turned over?? This interviewer tried everything to get the information out of him. Very sly. To me, you don't take a chance. Did he ask for the questions ahead of time and go over them with his lawyer? I am very concerned about this.
I agree 100%! The jury should be gagged ordered not to go public at least until after sentencing. They could be inadvertently giving the defense info to support an appeal. This seems like a set up to me!
The Judge should have advised the jury to not talk about the case publicly until after sentencing. The verdict can be appealed, so it probably would be best not to talk publicly even for some time after sentencing. It is up to the Judge, no one else, to advise the jury on how to proceed.
@@jacquelinescott4557 Oh good thought! That is a serious concern!
I wonder if he did know the questions ahead of time?
@@tamlynn786 the defense will 100% be keeping their ears open. Anything these jurors say can and will be used in an appeal lol
What a smart and intelligent young man. I'm glad he was picked as a juror in this case. Fair and honest.
Straight up
Pahhaahhahahahaha ya right. This guy is going to get this case thrown out🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
He was black...
Thanks to him, Derek Chauvin is getting a new trial. Hahaha, thanks to his honesty as a juror.
Great
Honest
Interview..welldone
I wish this Man Harmony..HE DID NOT ASK OR PUT UP HIS HAND FOR this JOB.
BLESS YOU. FROM
AUSTRALIA
Truth.
He wore BLM shirts and attended a protest in Washington where he heard Floyd's relatives speak. He didn't bother to tell anyone about these things until after the trial. He lied. This guy's not hero. Now perhaps Chauvin's might be able to appeal.
He didn't need to tell them his where abouts. Hes free to go wherever he wanted to. The question on the questionnaire for potential jurors was, "Did u or anyone close to you participate in any of the demonstrations or marches against police brutality that took place in "MINNEAPOLIS " after George Floyd's death?" You said he was in Washington at a rally, which is true. So, what did he lie about? I'll wait. You can pull the questionnaire up on line😊
@@deborahriley7355 No appeal for that MURDERER. Stop your racism!! He can wear a BLM t-shirt if he wants cause BL DO MATTER; maybe not to YOU but to blacks and others. It amazes me how white racist won't see clearly when it comes to black ppl. Yall will have to answer to God for your evil😮
I served as an alternate on a murder trail, many years ago. I had dreams about the people that were murdered for years. It's very hard. Thank the jury for their service. Job well done.
That murder trail is a tough one. Lots of death on that hike.
@@wdcurry111 You’re right. Getting his 15 minutes of fame. Wants to join in since he didn’t get to be outside with Al Sharpton.
@@wdcurry111 the only way to learn about what it was like in there is to listen to the jurors and their experiences
@@wdcurry111 that is false. the history of injustice in the U.S. is unexamined juries doing unconstitutional things, and judges/lawyers allowing it to happen. it is extremely important to know about how juries functioned on high profile cases, especially in cases that potentially involve race as an issue. either way, people want to know this, and this is the only way to find out. i’m sure you’ll hear from the others soon enough.
I believe this interview should not have taken place so soon. There are parts in the interview that could be used in the appeals process.
Not sure about that. Typically, at least at the federal level, which I'm familiar with (Circuit Courts of Appeals) only what is in the record is admissable. But maybe MN is different.
jury trial rarely get over turn
This is an interview of a very bias juror. He doesn't even hide it. This trial should have taken place in a different court.
The interviewer seemed to be trying to "stir the muck" in that some of his questions seemed designed to trap the juror into admitting that some of the deliberations may be grounds for a mistrial - eg @12:57 - "Did it ( Duante Wright shooting) have any effect on you or any of the other jurors?". I think the juror handled the questions well but still I'm sure that Eric Nelson is poring over this interview with a fine tooth comb.
Ray07110 what's bias about it?
Now this is an excellent juror - honest, lucid, thorough, intelligent, perceptive and much more. It's folks like him who bring civility and humanity to order to overcome such a vile and evil act. Well done, rest well. Cheers !
@Skip White
A. Whenever you post, make sure it contains some SUBSTANCE.
B. Also make sure that it contains some INTELLIGENCE
He was a biased juror who obviously had his mind made up before the trial started. He sold out the other jurors by stating that they all knew what they were voting before dilebera just completing paperwork. Then he lied on his questionnaire about outside influences and participating in any blm demonstrations. Jury misconduct. Then he's ignorant enough to have his picture with a saying on his shirt a from March in Washington last August saying get your knees off our necks. Yah, No bias there. Yah he's a great juror. Brandon Mitchell you're not my hero! Lying on questionnaire just to convict a white cop. Cool man, gave grounds for appeal Hopefully.🙏
He wasn't that honest when he perjured himself during jury selection 🤣
Cop needs a new trial. I'm not saying he shouldn't be punished but this trial was way too sketchy.
@@worsethanjoerogan8061He did not perjure himself. He answered the question as it was worded. Jurors are not expected to volunteer information. Judge Cahill admonished one for doing so. Just answer the question, isn't that the mantra in the legal world ?
Nobody feed the troll
Brandon, thank you for sharing your perspective on what it was like being a juror in this trial. Thank you to you and all the jurors for your service in this process.
The jurors were in fear of their lives as one alternate juror has stated. The defense , Nelson, was near perfect in his arguements. He proved that Chavin didn't commit any crimes'
@@supermansuperman9066 he’s been committing crimes for 19 years. This one just got filmed. Bravo prosecution!!!! One step toward justice.
@@supermansuperman9066 that never happened lol good try buddy
This comment aged like milk.
user name I simply said the comment aged like milk, which it did. This juror lied and corrupted the process, you can't deny that. Not saying it completely delegitimized the entire trial, you're putting words in my mouth because for some reason you think acknowledging this juror did something wrong is the same as saying the verdict was wrong.
You can acknowledge this juror is an idiot who belongs in jail and still think the verdict was correct, I hope you know that.
He’s so well spoken. It was a blessing to have someone like him on that jury.
Well stated.
Why?
@@littlemissmaybe480 to understand how blacks are mistreated by the police
He wasn't well spoken, he is a criminal who lied on his jury questionnaire and should be arrested and given Officer Chauvin a retrial where the railroad job of a racist domestic terrorist group and their lacky don't corrupt the system.
He asked too late. GF was already dead. When Lane heard the bystanders screaming for help for George and GF pleading for his life then, that's when she should have taken his knees off his back and intervene and demand chauvin take his knee off his neck. He failed to do that. Chauvin may have want to threatened him had he intervene (we'll never know) but, he should have still done something and let the authority sort it out. Too little too late. They are all responsible for GFs death.
Actually, the officer who suggested rolling Mr. Floyd over was on the feet/legs, not the back, and he asked a couple of times. At the very least, the first time Mr. Floyd was still conscious and talking. I think Mr. Floyd was still conscious during the second suggestion to roll him over, but I'm not sure about that. So no, he didn't ask too late.
@@pridenprejudice2004 He Lane might didn't asked to late, but he sure didn't get off Floyd and he Lane sure didn't remove Chauvin off Floyd and attempted to put Floyd in the recovery position so he Floyd could breath better etc.
And George isn't responsible for his death stop giving the POS a pass because he's black.
Personally I don’t understand why a knee to neck was even warranted in the first place? He wasn’t resisting at that point and they already had him handcuffed in prone position. I’m like, so confused by people who say he should have taken it off sooner. In my opinion it wasn’t necessary to begin with. Even this juror was saying he thinks it should have been taken off sooner. Why did it even happen in the first place? Floyd wasn’t going anywhere!
I like this dude Brandon Mitchell. He seems really smart and a good, cool person.
He isn't acting in an intelligent way by making so many comments about the jury and deliberation. He has already said something that can be used for an appeal in one of his interviews.
He lied his way onto an American jury with an obvious agenda from the start. Also he is poorly spoken.
@@dawnkline1406 OK 👌God
I like both the juror and the interviewer. Both seemed very intelligent, thoughtful and personable
Juror has lied to the court, went to BLM marches, wore a shirt with a knee on Floyds neck, and told a talk show that "they have to get onto these juries" to make change. What do you think about THAT?!
Very thoughtful and personable?
My man you and the other 11 did one great job I wants to THANK all 12 of you THANKS
Dr Tobin was the best witness 🙌
Yes he was.
He's a quack
@@deborahdesanto2313 Sorry you didn't get the verdict you wanted, but he was an EXPERT EXCELLENT WITNESS AND HE DID A MARVELOUS JOB!! GO CRY URSELF A RIVER JUSTICE WAS TRULY DONE!! GOD PUT SOME RIGHTEOUSNESS PPL IN THAT JURY AND THEY PLEASED HIM AN MOST GOOD AMERICANS! TY JESUS!!
Super interview. This mas was very articulate recounting this experience. I have served on a jury and can reiterate that is a very challenging experience, especially for an African American. His service was really well done. Many don't understand that you do give up hours of your life for this service. So proud of him.
You sound like Joe Biden when he pointed out Obama was the first CLEAN and ARTICULATE African American politician. The Hypocrisy is unequaled.
and... the stipend is only $50 per day which you must turn over to your employer (if you're employed) if you want wage continuation for that service duty.
@Aaron Sells white supremacist much?
@Aaron Sells lol you white supremacists get so mad lol I love it
@Aaron Sells stay mad bro 😂
Excellent interview. Thanks to this juror for his service and for the interview. May you have a safe and peaceful life.
Of course he, his family and his house is safe. Two very influential politicians spoke directly to the unsequestered jurors who watched CNN and MSNBC every night after the trial.
Maxine Waters called for violence in the streets if they didn't convict.
Joe Biden said the evidence was OVERWHELMING and hoped the jury would make the right decision. The president of the USA influencing a verdict. Wow.
Isn't jury intimidation an impeachable offense?
This juror is going to get chauvin freed
@@jonathanperry6302 Not how that works.
you mean his service of lying and corrupting the entire justice system. Hopefully he gets charged with this crime and replaces Officer Chauvin in prison and Officer Chauvin is let out after that railroad job.
He’s a BLM activist and this was the first time he watched the video? Yeah ok.
B quiet
Thank you to all of the jurors for enduring what had to be a very hard trial. You all did a great job. Including the alternates as you had to do the same job.
Wonder if you’ll say the same thing about the jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial 🤔
Thank God for that video. And thank you Sir for being an upstanding citizen and your service as a juror in this trial.
Jury duty can be so hard on the soul. I served for a case regarding sexual child exploitation for 3 days (Thank God it only lasted 3 days). The videos and testimony we had to watch every day... I couldn't eat, sleep... Couldn't talk about it to try to relieve my emotions. Even after the case... No one wants to talk about watching children perform sex acts. Your own children come to mind. I was so physically and emotionally drained after only 3 days. It took a long time to fully recover from the stress. These jurors did a fantastic job and endured alot for a long period of time... Not just inside the courtroom but also how it affected their personal lives. It definitely wasn't an easy job. Thank you so much for serving on this jury.
His mind was made up before the first witness was called, what a joke
Did you see the video? Your mind should have been made up also.
Stop putting words in his mouth. He spoke about the witness setting the tone not about his mind being made up. With that being said, even without before knowing the facts in the case, one had to at least deduce perhaps three men having their weight on a man's back contributed to Floyd's death.
Everybody’s mind was made up before the first witness was called. It was just a matter of proving them wrong by the party they voted against.
@@ms.legallyblonde2253 What is "The" video? I assume you are talking about the "bystander" video and not any of the bodycams. Tell us exactly where you think Chauvin's knee is.
@@thunkjunk wherever his knee was it killed that man
Well spoken we need jurors like you 👏 🙌
a little bit of all of us died that day
Mr. Mitchell is an articulate, impartial juror. Kudos. He is ALLOWED to speak now per the judge. It has no bearing on sentencing, just as Mr. Blackwell and AG Ellison are speaking.
No, he is actually a liar.
Damn, Brandon press tour much? Now you got doxxed and will cause mistrial.
Media being as irresponsible as usual, it's not hard for appeal issues to be created.
Which parts?
Jury trails rarely get overturn an Chauvin is being in investigated for civil rights violation for doing this to a 14 y/o all been charged in tax evasion he not getting out
Appeal issues don't get created after the verdict . They get found or discovered . Which the act of hiding things from the defense ... would be problematic in and of it's self.
No worries Dan ... mental gymnastics of past occurrences aren't going to fly THIS TIME !!!
And I believe the trial of the other 3 officers is going to solidify and remove any doubts people have of Chauvins guilt presently.
@@Mk101T - semantic difference. A fact or facts need to be discovered or found, indeed, but then something needs to be done with the same, as in the Defense Counsel creating a legal argument based on such factual discovery. Example - the juror being interviewed says that a fellow juror mentioned during deliberations that Maxine Waters had some comments at the protest, and here its what they were. Juror says that did not really affect us. Well, guaranteed that Atty Nelson will file for a Schwartz hearing on a couple grounds, jury not following instructions to start. If he were to be denied relief (new trial) after such hearing, then another appeal issue has been created. Judgment is final after sentencing, the appeal time is 90 days post sentencing.
@@BtheOutLIer - see my reply to Mk101T in this thread. A juror publicly speaking can supply fodder for further proceedings to pursue a new trial. It's just a possibility, not a great one, but, why take the chance.
When clout chasing goes wrong..
Thank you so much for your service Brandon 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 hopefully your life can go back to normal I can only imagine how this could affect someone
Juror misconduct got him more 15 mins of shame!!! Thanks for letting us know what the real verdict is!!

That’s a cute title. What does it do?
@@euphegenia yeah I would tell you to Google it but I did and the damn thing is 400 pages long so a summary would be nice.
I watched and was glad I could turn the sound off. I feel for the jurors who had to listen over and over again.
Oh great here they are trying to make a quick buck on the back of this
GREAT INTERVIEW SIR!!!
It was still SLICK. he phrased a few questions to get a, WOE, WAIT A MINUTE. U WERE NOT AFRAID OF BACKLASH?
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This had to be so difficult for the jurors.
not for this guy, if he wasn't selected for jury duty he would have been one of the rioters. this guy saw this as an opportunity to stick it to the white man. to him this is just one step closer to enslaving the whites
It’s not hard to figure out because He can’t keep his mouth shut. Listen to all his interviews. His mindset was “Guilty until proven innocent.” He obviously failed the civics education.
Using emotion shouldn't be allowed to persuade the jury. What George was like as a child shouldnt matter one bit.
You are right!
Sorry it's Law. - Spark of Life is part of the States Judiciary
@@lovey8830 exactly- but yet during part of Nelson’s closing is all about not letting any anger, or frustration or sadness at what happened drive their decision making!
@@novascotiaskater1868 Fact's don't care about your feelings... It should matter how something makes you feel. Its about getting justice no matter how people feel about the decision.. So i agree with you.
This was a REALLY GOOD interview. Great questions. Great & thorough answers.
TMI before sentencing though.
This is why you should keep quiet. the more one talks, the more they give ammunition. And on queue, this whole BLM/quiestionnare story breaks. SMH. I wish people understood how to be humble
Like he complimented him on being a juror but he didnt know he was riggng it from the start and being one of the looters and burning of buildings.
Yes that doctor did everything he was amazing
what did the doctor do that was amazing?
Dr. Tobin was a fraud.
@@anlace3447 which one was tobin again?
@@glennnichols4220 The fraud from Ireland, who thought he could magically could diagnose completely Floyd's medical state from a mere video. He even disagreed with the only person who actually examined Floyd's body, the medical examiner.
Thanks guys! Fantastic interview
I would have found Chauvin NOT GUILTY on all counts. I also think that Chauvins Attorney should have picked a couple of older white men who have life experiences and at least it would have been a hung jury. This was not a fair trial. The prosecution had like over 100 Attorneys and assistants working this while Chauvin had like a legal team of like of maybe a handful if that.
How much did this guy get for this interview? How's it feel to send an innocent man to prison? He's even admitted they didn't go over the evidence.
He stated they did review some evidence. Maybe not all of it... Which isn't needed considering it was presented in the courtroom and thoroughly gone over. You can REVIEW it if you NEED to when deliberating.
The interviewer has asked very good questions. For some reason, the camera angle is not quite right.
Camera is taking a social distance position.
Thanks for the reporting.
Show us the money....
Respect brother.
Keep this man safe at all costs
¿Why would be that stupid to do something to him now? The trial is over with hurting he want stop anything or chance anything he already voted all of them already voted the verdict already been put in
@@elhombrenegro4999 People want revenge even if it brings no real solution
@@tazzjamal7747 revenge for the guy he was just a juror, he wasn't the group who put all of the evidence and presented it to him and the other jurors ¿So how in the world revenge can be placed on him etc.? Matter of facts ¿How can revenge be place on anyone in the case other then the defendant or defendants?
@@elhombrenegro4999 for convicting that POS. It's really not difficult to grasp folks who were not happy with the verdict wish the could do something to all parties involved in convicting him.
Ahhhh NOW it all makes sense
Mr. Raguse, should refrain from looking away off to his right when asking questions. If someone did that to me , I would think he is untrustworthy or lying, which probably doesn't apply here but it is not a good practice.
The jury should be commended for their service.
I wondered why he kept looking to the side myself lol
I agree!!!!
Avoiding something
The fact that he said he was waiting for the gotcha moment from the defence shows he was keeping an open mind.
Did you watch the trial in its entirety? There’s was plenty of valid evidence from the defense witness and experts that definitely showed reasonable doubt.
@@littlemissmaybe480 I watched the entire trial the defense put up a decent argument considering what they had to work with however I think the video was the most powerful piece of evidence because there's only so much lawyering a lawyer can do and trying to convince the juror that they can't believe what they've seen is a very tough thing to do but thats just my opinion
@@kevinsamuelsghost685 There’s reasonable doubt. And the third degree charge for depraved heart murder was ridiculous.
@@littlemissmaybe480 I don't know depraved heart seem to fit to me because his actions were void of any compassion or human dignity. Kneeling on someone for that long (9:29) while ignoring their pleas for relief (i.e. "I can't breathe") until they become unconscious and don't have a pulse anymore would suggest he either didn't care, was incompetent of what he was doing to him, or he personally had it out for him which they couldn't prove he intentionally wanted to murder George Floyd. And it's hard to prove that Derek was incompetent when George himself was complaining to breathe and the crowd informed Chauvin that George was going unconscious and had liquid coming out of his mouth. Any reasonable police officer with Chauvin's amount of experience (19 years on the force) would have stopped kneeling on him at that point and check to see if he was still doing ok so all that is left is he probably just didn't care what he was doing to him and probably thought that he would not get in any trouble if he ended up killing him because he could simply just say he was resisting and he was on drugs again that is just my opinion
@@kevinsamuelsghost685 Please look up what depraved heart murder means. It’s not what you described.
His 15 minutes of fame is gonna get this trial overturned. Lmao
@user name Yup. Glad this one did. Alot of facts were exposed since this one decided to go public.

Thank you for your service!
Great interview! Great questions with a natural flow of honest responses.
Nothing about this guy is "honest" he lied every step of the way.
Very well spoken sir!
Very interesting interview but PLEASE jurors, stay quiet at least until AFTER sentencing. This is not over yet and you don’t want an innocent comment to be twisted or misconstrued. As for the interviewer, something about him made me uncomfortable. He was professional enough and asked good questions, but those shifty eyes…. He wasn’t forceful, but I felt like he was trying to probe for something in particular. I did not appreciate that he told the world where this man works. He could have simply said you’re a coach if he felt that mattered to his interview.
All jurors are allowed to speak out after the trial ends. The judge gives them the instructions that they can choose if they want to speak out.
Every single trial I’ve ever watched the judge told them.
@@mrslewis42004 I’m aware that jurors are permitted to speak out after the trial. That however does not mean it’s the wisest thing to do. Like I said - at least wait until sentencing is over.
It was great to hear Mr. Mitchell's perspective! Thank you for your service to this case.
Why would you show this man's face and name? I think this is an important interview but releasing it should have waited until any Appeal has been dealt with and Chauvin's sentence commenced.
Thank you sir for being part of George Floyd's journey 🙏
George Floyds journey was tainted with no self respect, drug abuse, terrorising a woman by holding a gun to her stomach while his accomplices ransacked her home and passing counterfeit money in his own community resulting in poor kids’s wages being cut to pay for it. Some journey.

Are there any body language experts available to review this interview?
These jurors should be keeping their mouths shut
Nah, they gotta get them dolla dolla bills yall
If you have pre-existing feelings about the case, aren't you not supposed to be a juror?
Only a dead person wouldn’t have pre-existing feelings🥴.. the key is having an open mind.
Unless you live under a rock, practically everyone saw that video it caused a global movement so it was nearly impossible for them to select a juror who didn't see what happened and people will interpret that video their own way
He was a great choice for a juror
Dr. Tobin speculated on many things and mislead the jury on a few things .🙄
he was a fraud and got caught lying just like this juror.
@user name you really are a fool, replying to all my comments. go and play in the park.
Wow I watched gavel to gavel and the witness that resonated with me of course was Dr. Tobin but it was also the chief of police! The chief mentioning how they serve with compassion...it was clear that he loves his job and loves his community and expects the same of his department. The physical restraint trainer knocked it out the park when she said “I don’t know what kind of move that was but it’s not a restraint we teach.” The defense raised some doubts but there was no way it was reasonable.
I also watched "gavel to gavel" as you aptly put it. The MMA fighter and Charles were the best witnesses in my opinion, for different reasons in different ways. Then along came good ol Dr. Tobin! Aside from his credible easy to follow factual testimony- he stayed very level headed when the defense attny was grasping at pathetic straws. But I had to replay one line several times because it was so good... paraphrasing here (but I should know it by heart): "when I go to church every Sunday I sit on a hard bench but I don't expect to see bruising now do I" I - was - DONE.
The specific restraint that was used was in their training books, but there is no evidence that chauvin was trained in that technique.
JUSTICE SERVED, THANK YOU JURORS 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏

@user name they were looking for things that would support a guilty plea instead of being sure there wasn't a reasonable doubt.

Well said Brother!
Thanks to this Juror, the case is tainted.
My boy gonna get framed for a drug charge in 2 months 🤦🏽♂️
Or worse 🤦🏾♀️amerikkk
Hope so!!!!
Lol another Derek Chauvin sympathizer you still mad at the verdict? Don't worry you can still put something on his commissary or write him a love letter after he is sentenced and rotting in prison 😆
Yah right! Everyone in jail says the same thing they were all framed! Hope your buddy gets the book thrown at him!👍🏻
Wouldn't put anything across those cops
This guy has been in so many interviews.
I still think 2nd degree manslaughter was sufficient enough. It's truly amazing that a junkie who commits a criminal act of forgery for a pack of cigarettes and because he refused to back into store and deal with it, manages to police called to confront him on it, becomes a legend because of social media broadcasted him resisting arrest world wide, Now he's a hero cuz of this, and police are the bad guys. 👎
OK stevie wonder 😎 keep taking the tablets !!!!! Jus forget bout chauvins 17 previous 👎 child choker as well now !!!!! U must be of your rocker the man was murdered in front of the 🌎 !!! The lesson george wasn't a cop !!!! Tho let's be honest in 🇺🇸 what else is to be expected
Lol... a junkie but who’s been predominately effected by the opioid epidemic tho? YT ppl dying in droves and leaving behind parentless kids for the system to raise but George is a junkie 😂😂 OK. Also, what about the 14 year old that Chauvin cracked in his head a couple times which cause him to bleed from his left ear and required multiple stitches but the worst part is that kneeled on the kid for 17 minutes, which at one point caused the boy to pass out. Chauvin should of been behind bars a long time ago. It’s about time cacs start reaping their karma. I’m glad your mad, stay mad. 😌🙂

@@NotLikeUs17 see that's where you're wrong. I'm not mad. I'm pointing out the obvious. I have heard about the other though. Don't know all the details. There are two sides to this story as well.
Very well spoken! Great job 🙏🏻
How else would he speak? Careful sweetheart, your racism is peeking through!
Isn't it comforting to know that when lefties like Flutter see your light skin and blonde hair, you're called a racist for repeating the same complement made by posters of color? Quite a unifying comment, huh?
@@tomc3010 obvious to me this person is the ignorant racist! My comment had NOTHING to do with “how he spoke” but the “words he spoke”. I for one could never give a TV interview I’d be a nervous wreck & probably speak like a bumbling idiot. I usually don’t even respond to such a ignorant person, no matter what color. I never let a bad apple such as this person change who I am, how I feel, the comments I make, I just chalk it up as another ignorant individual in this world.
I know how racism feels, I worked in inner city hospital for 8 years.
Isn’t against the law to lie to get on the jury?
Should be against the law to discriminate against someone who is a Black activist and anti-police brutality from getting onto jury service.
A very well spoken, intelligent guy - grateful he was on the jury!
He just got exposed possible mistral thanks to big mouth
Because when a jury is deciding whether to send a man to prison for murder, we want them thinking about the societial implications of their decision.
@user name if a juror is considering anything other than the facts of the case, they are literally violating their oath as a juror. So, you're wrong.
@user name you incorrectly assume I didn't accept the results of the election, based on your own biases. The election has nothing to do with this trial. The juror said he considered the societal implications of the verdict. That's messed up and probably enough for a retrial.
You gotta love how CRAZY the American idea of a jury of your peers is. You don't have to be educated to be a juror, you don't have to be sane to be a juror, we can just go WILD with this idea of justice. Wooo!
I was called for jury duty once and it became abundantly clear they were Not looking for a jury of that mans peers. In fact they looked for opposers.
I kmow. I prefer a judge locking at evidence etc. I know of someone who once did jury duty. He clearly told me they let the accused go because he was too young and his circumstances weren't great and seem to have shown some regret. But he was clearly guilty of shoplifting or something. They gave him a second chance instead of putting him in prison with hardcore criminal. I didn't think much of it then but in light of this trial am seeing it differently.
Great interview!
Consider the defendant not testifying? This was a bad idea.
Fantastic interview!!
Greetings. I don't trust anyone . So these interviews I don't recommend for any of the juniors. Next thing you know, you're asked a question that can be used against you in favor of that monster. Because you were told not to watch TV or talk to anyone about the case. You're being picked to see where you were in this case from the beginning. Smh. We don't know when to be quiet.
Right? 1 it’s too soon and 2 it seems like a set up to help the defense. They need to stop doing these interviews
Well the truth needs to come out. Chauvin didn't get a fair trial and this guy just proved it worth his words.
Great information. Well spoken I wonder if he thinks that police will Retaliate against him
Not saying it's impossible, but the higher ups in the police department even testified against Chauvin. A cop defending him in any capacity at this point is career suicide, and harassment [or worse] of a citizen - particularly a juror - is a huge liability that would follow them for the rest of their life.
You’re a hero. Not because you voted “guilty” but because you followed the law and still found him guilty. I’ve been a juror in a murder trial so I understand how difficult it is but this case was huge. You are part of history. Thank you SO much for your jury service. Good on you.
he did NOT follow the law nor did he follow the judges instructions.
If a mistrial is declared because of his lies, hold him accountable for the cost of the trial.
He can speak after the trial is over. You don't know the law...
22:16 Whelp, that settles it for me on the "scare tactics" arguments. And even before this part he said how the judge did everything he could to make them feel safe.
Really? The only 2 reasons he gave seemed sorta of weak to me. His first reason is that the jurors are all citizens trying to do the right thing. This is irrelevant to either side of the argument so I don’t even know why he said it.
The second reason he gave was that they were dealing with such negative energy from the trial that there was no time to think of the outside world and he didn’t think that’s how human nature works. This is clearly ridiculous, did he not eat or go to the bathroom or sleep the entire time the trial was going on because there was no time to think of anything but what they saw in court? The trial didn’t even last all day, there is clearly plenty of time to consider the outside world and give full attention to the trial.
As for human nature, I would argue that it actually is human nature to consider the broader implications of your actions. It isn’t human nature to ignore the whole of society.
@@michaelvigil3436 Well, unless you can read his mind, and that other other jurors yet to be named, all you have is his word and he was asked point blank about "the mob" and if that was factor and he strongly denied that it was. So unless some of the other jurors come and say that it was fear wasn't a factor in the verdict.
@@loszhor I need to be able to read him mind to know that he went to sleep and went to the bathroom in the weeks of the trial? He only gave two reasons as to why the mob didn’t influence him, the first reason isn’t relevant and the second one is demonstrably false as long as he does anything except thinking about the negative energy from the trial. His reasoning literally boils down to “there wasn’t enough time to think about the outside world because the energy from the trial was so negative”.
@@michaelvigil3436 Why does that first sentence exist? I get you're frustrated but don't resort to that.
I don't know what else to to tell you. You have him in his own words saying it wasn't a factor. Moments after the verdict cries that it was "the mob" that influenced the jury started and we just needed to wait to hear from the jurors and here we go and I'm finding that that isn't even good enough now. What would convince you that the jurors weren't intimidated into their verdict?
@@loszhor I don’t understand your question, I’m neither frustrated nor do I see how I’m “resorting” to anything. The first sentence is a question to demonstrate that you don’t need to “read someone’s mind” to know that they are thinking multiple and/or different things. He literally says there wasn’t enough time to think about the outside world, my point is that he clearly had time to sleep and go to the bathroom, how can he do either of those things if the energy from the trial was so negative like he says? The energy was too negative to think about how his city, state, country, family and society might respond to this case but the energy wasn’t negative enough that he could go to sleep? How can you have time to sleep but not have time to think?
You’re last question is interesting but to quote you don’t even see why that sentence exists. My opinion is that it would be nearly impossible to have an impartial jury anywhere, but having a non sequestered jury from the same county... intimidation is almost irrelevant, how on earth could they not be influenced? There was riots for MONTHS specifically because of George Floyd after he died. Human nature (contrary to what this man says) is to fully take that into consideration.
theres going to be reform just not what you want. So far alot of cops have left the force and they can't seem to hire any now that there trying to. Hope they enjoy that rising crime rate.
This man is a fraud. To think he had a part in convincing jurors who may have had doubt against conviction is appalling. He was prejudiced and biased against the defense long before he slipped onto the jury. Regardless if he was truthful before being chosen as a juror, his podcasts calling for jury infiltrations to sway the verdicts is certainly an indication of prejudice and bias against law enforcement.
@Isis Smith You certainly have a right to your opinion, but could you give one verifiable fact making this judge a racist. Also, the judge didn't sit in a room with the jurors deliberating this man's innocence or guilt, so no, you can't say the same thing about the Kyle Rittenhouse case.
Great friggin interview! This journalist asked some very tough and relevant questions. And the juror was very professional and honest.
hes justified in the way he feels but he honestly does not come off as in partial in the least bit.
Well after he heard all the evidence he isn't impartial.
he should be basing his judgement on the facts of the case not on getting justice for black people. I just feel from listening to him speak he sounded bias from the start. Nothing against him personally.
Greetings. And this is why, He and others should stay away from these interviews. Because people that disagree with changing business as usual will have a problem with what he's saying because it ended not in favor of that murderous thug. But there are plenty of cases where they got off and shouldn't have, maybe you can reflect on that too have an awesome day. Smh.
This is a stupid comment considering after he heard all the evidence he rendered his opinion
@@simonsimard7221 I agree with you. Also...
No matter what Chauvin deserved a fair trial.
How could he have ever had one?
Why wasn't the jury sequestrated? Why wasn't the trial held in a different venue?
I'm not saying I don't think he was guilty but I do believe in our rights as American citizens.
Chauvin's attorneys will be watching these interviews for grounds to appeal. This juror gave him none. In fact, the video spoke for itself.
And the video will speak a billion times u clearly our 🧠less or 5 YEARS OLD CONSIDERING AN 8 YEAR OLD GOT IT ! JESUS WEPT ONLY IN AMERICA 🇺🇸🙏 FOR DOCTOR Tobbin ! Bet you do 4 piece jigsaws 😆 ffs the 🌎 see him murdered !!! Body cam took of threw under car what bout them grounds !!! No 👎 ? Didn't think so! 🤔 and the rest appeal my arse lol 😆only in 🇺🇸 couldn't make it up go get help ffs
Great interview , Debunks that mob justice BS !! 👍🏿
Decent young man
Young? 😂
MAD PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS ALREADY. Your "hero" got a fair trial and lost.
JUSTICE.
Ya I agree. karma has bit Chouvin hard in the butt. 👏
Exactly
Fair trial? In Minneapolis? This is the first time in US history a trial of this magnitude wasn't removed to a neutral forum and the jury wasn't sequestered.
They went home every night listening to hate media, Maxine Waters calling for violence in the streets and Joe Biden saying the evidence is OVERWHELMING and he hopes the jury gets it right.
Fair trial for sure.
@@tomc3010 LMAO neutral forum? This police murder literally sparked WORLDWIDE protests. You couldn't get a neutral forum in Australia.
So you’d say the same thing if Trump was president and said he hopes the jury finds Chauvin innocent the night before?
Derek didn't utter a word in his own defense. No one else did either. Does anyone, find this telling?
I feel that juries ought to be forced to give written explanations of their verdict. They don't have to put any one individual's name on it but a written explanation of their verdict will make it clear as to how they applied the law to the evidence in the case to determine guilt.
Yep. I agree. They all went in to it knowing they'd vote guilty. They just wanted 1 nite in hotel, or else it would have gotten done Mon nite.
@@paulaheckman9928 As if any amount of evidence would change your mind in thinking Chauvin should have gotten a medal for showing bravery in the face of a dangerous crowd , and delivering what you thought was street justice ???
Would the verdict, then, have to change if the explanation was not acceptable?
@@vivianwiseJUSTUS No but we'd have a lot of information on how juries make their verdicts and juries too would feel more accountable if they're forced to explain their decision. Again, no individual juror shall be revealed but the jury as a whole should tell us.
@@Mk101T It was very reasonable to convict for manslaughter in my view. The other two charges didn't make sense from a legal point of view reading the statutes.
He couldn’t resist the money.
Well yeah, since there weren't any riots, guys gotta get paid. Everyone else benefitting from his death, why not him?
"we gunz get us ourz, we gun get dis money"
This is Kare11 news. Not exactly a big national news outlet with deep pockets. For goodness sake, did you see the set? Looks like a cheap facade.
@@JB-kg1zv Racist much?
Proud to be a citizen and the quality of all concerned. We all know change/empathy and more humane behavior is necessary and past due. This is how healing starts with "real" conversations and sharing. Juror. "George Floyd could have been my relative." He well represents himself as he intended. Well done.
Ain’t nothing changing but the date. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
We all need people to stop resisting arrest. This jury was a joke.
@@dawnkline1406 are you suggesting the concept/right of "trial by jury" is a joke?
@@tonylee8784Violence begets violence. Respect begets respect. Maybe mama should teach officers some manners/politeness as a starting point. Shouldn't there be some consideration for the human reactions of fear and confusion associated with "being arrested" or even "being a suspect". Obedience and subservience have a place not necessarily as a starting point. "Flinch when I speak to you boy/son or I'll pull out the whip," Aggression to the point of approaching with a drawn weapon is seldom warranted.
@@jamesrmore when you have been a police officer and have to put up with these violent criminals and a fear for your life everyday come back to me and say you should be polite to some one whose resisting arrest. Did you watch the whole video? He didn't approach him with a gun the only time he pulled his gun out was when floyed didn't show his hands. A society is doomed when you side with criminality.
So many bots in these comments thinking that this juror was actually good 🤡🌎
Nothing but a sales job....we weren't under no pressure....Lol. Did they even understand the concepts of presumption of innocence and reasonable doubt? Probably not.
You are correct. He just wanted to be on jury because he is black. Everything today is about race. Absolutely no presumption of innocence. He just blew up this case and lost it to appeal. What a fool. Typical dumb coach.
