shoulders, the small of my back, my waist. often enough by late 2014 i didn t want to go to the holiday party he was hosting for the albany press corps at the executive mansion. john: some top democrats are joining the list of the lawmakers demanding cuomo s resignation including house judiciary chairman jerry nadler among several prominent new york lawmakers issued statements saying that the time has come. sandra: yeah. yet still silence from vice president kamala harris on this. she has not joined those calls by fellow democrats for him to resign. nor have we heard from senators gillibrand or elizabeth warren, all three of whom were vocal in opposition of brett kavanaugh in the confirmation hearing. all of this is after the governor s own lawyer reported a groping allegation to the police. the woman involved has so far declined to press charges herself. cuomo has continued to deny the allegations, john. john: sandra, the cover of the new york post stating it ....
All white jury might sympathize with? that s a great question, joy. in other high-profile cases we ve seen mixed results. derek chauvin did not take the stand, and he was convicted of murdering george floyd. but the chicago police officer who killed laquan mcdonald testified in his own defense, and he was convicted of murder. on the other hand, kyle rittenhouse, his performance on the stand is probably the reason that he was found not guilty. well, that and the judge being on his side. that s my own editorial opinion. paul butler, thank you very much. happy holidays. thank you for being here. tonight s absolute worst is up next. and it s pretty darn infuriating. but sadly not at all surprising. we ll be right back. battling se, we switched to tide hygienic clean free. it s gentle on her skin, and out cleans our old free detergent. tide hygienic clean free. hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. ....
Man, prosecutors have to try to get the jury to see his humanity. daunte wright s father testified yesterday. he talked about the kind of stories you would hear at a christmas dinner about how he was both his boss at work. poignant stories about how much daunte s father loved daunte. the defense typically depicts the victim as a thug who deserved whatever the cops did to him. it s a shame that in 2021, prosecutors still have to humanize black victims, but it was an effective strategy that helped convict derek chauvin of murdering george floyd. so prosecutors hope it will lead to a manslaughter conviction of kimberly potter. you mentioned derek chauvin. i want to pivot to the fact he did plead guilty to violating george floyd s civil rights. that strikes me as a big deal not just for him and he could ....
But what was in it for chauvin? he probably will be allowed to serve his entire sentence in federal prison, and that would be an improvement over the state prison where he s now being held in solitary confinement. that s probably why he took this deal. plus, if chauvin had gone to trial and lost, he could have been sentenced to life in prison. so quite a different calculus for derek chauvin than for the three officers who also participated in the act which led to george floyd s tragic death. let s go back to the potter trial. there is this question of the trials that we ve watched, there have been these attempts to sort of humanize the person who is the defendant. so we saw in the rittenhouse trial that he did his testimony, the tearful testimony. we saw in the case, in the georgia case, the man who killed ahmaud arbery, one of them tried to testify. that didn t go so well for him. do you think that testifying in general tends to help, particularly when the person is a police offic ....
Get an extra six years on his sentence if he gets full 25 years for the federal charge and they serve concurrently on top of his 22 1/2 years, but there are three other police officers that have to go to trial. if you re their defense attorneys and you look at him actually losing a very unusual case police officers don t often get convicted of killing people, particularly killing black people. he went down. he s pleaded out on the federal charges. do you think this makes it more likely the other three will try to cop a plea? it makes it slightly more likely, but they have a very different defense and posture in both the state and federal trial in derek chauvin. they were mainly rookie officers. chauvin was their training instructor, so they re going to try to blame him. as we know, derek chauvin didn t plead guilty in the federal case out of the goodness of his heart. every plea bargain, there s something for both sides. so prosecutors got their federal conviction. they re going to ....
