The case of a white former Minneapolis police officer charged with murder in the death of George Floyd has gone to the jury. The jurors will be sequestered as they consider whether Derek Chauvin caused the death of Floyd, a Black man. https://t.co/1iBpKkovak

— The Associated Press (@AP) April 19, 2021

The charges Derek Chauvin faces for the killing of #GeorgeFloyd:

▪️ 2nd-deg murder: must show caused death while committing a felony, max 40 years
▪️ 3rd-deg murder: must show actions obviously dangerous, max 25 years
▪️ 2nd-deg manslaughter: must show negligence, max 10 years pic.twitter.com/UKw8I48rCo

Defense attorney Eric Nelson is grasping at straws arguing for a mistrial because jurors were not sequestered and may have possibly heard Rep. Maxine Waters speak about the Derek Chauvin trial or seen a fictional TV show that mentioned the case.

If a statement from Maxine Waters can be used as justification to overturn a guilty verdict for Derek Chauvin on appeal, then courts are gonna have to go back and revisit every single case where Donald Trump made a comment about pending trials for 4 years when he was in office.

Let’s see how the royal family will line up on Saturday following this unfortunate news….there’s definitely a big hole they need to fill on the right wing

Watching the royal coverage and remembering the various times I rehearsed #PrincePhilip obits for the BBC. Nick Witchell seemed grief stricken during the rehearsals. Can’t imagine how he’s coping with the day itself.

There had been fears of even more serious violence tonight & the expectation of trouble meant that some public sector workers were earlier today told they'd be sent home early. But increasingly loyalist protests are being called off in light of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh.

Don't be surprised that GOP voter suppression takes aim at local officials. Preempting local laws they don't like is an old Republican move.

In which Boris Johnson personally explains why “…no British Conservative government could or should sign up to…” *exactly* what he signed up to two years later. Seriously. No sarcasm, no spinning.

This is on Boris Johnson’s head, but not only Johnson, every politician, from the left or right who supported or facilitated Brexit. The Northern Ireland issue is Brexit in a nutshell. A populist lie, promises that could never be kept. https://t.co/JfzYrV9dKH

This is the crux of it. Not too deep down they really know that as an economic project Brexit really is just a complete failure. By proxy they new it was a lie. It’s real purpose was division and power through division. These people never cared about the country or anyone in it. https://t.co/OJWcPTiWJf

3) Close “Charleston loophole”
4) Reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act
