An alternate juror in the State versus Derek Chauvin trial says she too would have voted to convict the former police officer in the murder of George Floyd.
The jury found Chauvin guilty of second and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter on Tuesday.
Lisa Christensen often referred to as Juror No. 96 was an alternate juror and she shared some of her experience about sitting on the jury.
Initially, Christensen says she didn t know if she wanted to be on this jury, and she admits it was stressful and a bit overwhelming. It was emotional, it was draining, Christensen said. I hope we did it right and we got it right.
24 Demands of the George Floyd Square protesters
The 24 “DEMANDS” of the George Floyd Square protestors
Shortly after the death of George Floyd, a group of locals shut down several blocks of the city around the site of the incident. They are still occupying the area and have denied access to local authorities including when a murder occurred there.
These people are such useful idiots, communist morons who are beyond clueless. Am I being too harsh?
They have issued 24 “demands” that must be accomplished before they say they will vacate the area. There are some ransom demands.
Protesters presented the city with a list of 24 demands on August 7, 2020, before the intersection could be re-opened:

On the morning of May 26, 2020, Minnesota police spokesman John Elder sent a brief press release regarding a death that had occurred the prior evening.
Under the heading “Man Dies After Medical Incident During Police Interaction,” the statement which has since been deleted from the department’s website said that “on Monday evening, shortly after 8:00 p.m., officers from the Minneapolis Police Department responded to the 3700 block of Chicago Avenue South on a report of a forgery in progress. Officers were advised that the suspect was sitting on top of a blue car and appeared to be under the influence.
