re: #108 steve_davis

nah. he’s gonna do 15 years. the bastards who stood by and let him get away with it are gonna get time as accessories to murder under color of authority. don’t know what the law is in minnesota, but in lots of states, doing something illegal under color of authority is considered especially heinous and worthy of significant sanction. Hell, I’m pretty sure California still executes cops who tamper with evidence in capital trials.

Yeah, I’m not that optimistic. I think we’re looking at something closer to Freddie Gray: Chauvin walks after a mistrial, while his fellow cops are acquitted because they were “just following orders.”
