Jury selection began this week for the conviction…Oops, sorry: I mean the
trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin on charges that he murdered the Holy Blessed Martyr George Floyd in Minneapolis last year. As I write, here we are in Day Five of the jury selection, with half of the jurors selected.
I ve been following Andrew Branca s coverage of the jury selection at Legal Insurrection with side trips to Scott Johnson s coverage at PowerLine blog. Branca is a seasoned attorney in Massachusetts thirty years’ experience in cases mostly concerning self-defense and use of force. Johnson is also an attorney, in fact a Minnesota attorney, so he knows the judge and other courtroom names.
