'Our establishment media will surely cover this story as a justifiable, if mildly uncomfortable, afterthought, if they cover it at all.'

The defense attorney for the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd has requested a new trial.

Legal experts believe that Chauvin could receive a retrial based upon the alleged impartiality of one of the jurors.

This is where the repeated vilification of police officers leads. It poisons relations between law enforcement and the population it protects.

Mitchell's admission and other outside interferences make it hard to argue that Chauvin wasn't condemned before he walked into that courtroom.

'Neither Floyd nor Chauvin exercised the kind of prudence that is absolutely essential to the maintenance of justice in a civilized society.'

'Polls matter indeed. Not necessarily for reflecting the opinions of the people, but, instead, for furthering the agendas of the pollsters.'

Robinson's prison time and exorbitant restitution are proof these weren't acts of protest but destructive criminal events.

The backup plan was not needed because the jury found Chauvin guilty of two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter.

'I extended an olive branch. I offered them amendments. But Democrats used the filibuster to block the debate from even happening.'
