That's a long way from what the Defence lawyers wanted, they were asking for probation ..HaHa..
I wonder what Vegas has for odds on his longevity in prison...
I'm sure he will be kept isolated from the general population - otherwise it was a death sentence
15 years good behaviour. CNN is trying to rile up the team.
Yep,CNN is being their usual rabble-rousing jacka**es. What they don't say is that that's the earliest he can up for parole. No wonder CNN viewership is completely in the tank. They're now in real danger of financial collapse..............which can't happen soon enough.Quote:

I'd want to know if he did have an attitude towards blacks or minorities and the only way anyone would know that would be to talk to his fellow officers. They would have had private and off-the-cuff locker room conversations over time that would indicate his attitude or personality.
Either way, its not a good time to be in law enforcement.
I think the fact that cops now refuse (deny services) in that area of town tells us a lot about how his fellow officers support him.Quote:

In every police and sheriff office in America,after Chauvin gets put away for at least 15 years,there better be a lot of officers with smartass attitudes heading for either retirement or alternative employment and they better be doing it damn quick,too.
Oh ya, fully agree with that.Quote:

I honestly think he's still figuring on walking away from this and it's nothing but a minor inconvenience that he may have to wait until his lawyers get him out. He hinted as much when he turned and addressed the family and the Judge stating that he couldn't make an adequate statement at the moment and that more information will be forthcoming that should make the family more relieved whatever that means. No doubt,there's an appeal coming where more evidence will be submitted. Right now,he's beinh housed in a local lock-up. When he gets off the bus at the BIG house,that's when it'll dawn on him that he's really screwed himself. Personally,I think one of the skells will whack him and move to the head of the class for killing a cop.Quote:
