yep, it was in the training manual. And Derek Chauvin was the senior (training) officer of the group. Just a moot point, but restraint on the neck was largely unnecessary, as the suspect was already 'cuffed, and on the floor. As long as Chauvin is alive, i hope he is extremely fearful for his life/safety, to the utter detriment of any possible hope of a few seconds of enjoyment. I agree it was a wholly inappropriate restraint. I regard it as manslaughter myself, though I'm open to the idea that if he knew him and there was animosity it could be 2nd degree.....then again, what do I know, I thought that OJ knifed two people to death. As we know It really comes down to who sits on the jury.

I'm not sure on the US judicial system but certainly here we have guidelines that affect a trial with regard to a suspect being given a fair trial due to media reporting... If its the same over there then naturally this could cause issues.

I believe to be charged with 2nd degree murder, you have to prove it was premeditated, I doubt they could prove that the officer deliberately went out to kill him.

From what I read I was under the impression that 2nd degree murder is committed if its not deliberate or premeditated.. I may of read it wrong though..

I think first is premeditated murder. I think second is kind of the opportunity presented itself stuff and you decided to murder....a crime of passion is second. I think they should have stuck with third....but hey, it's all about that jury. If the authorities and lawyers want him convicted they can set it up like that.....it's been done before and it'll be done that way again. I think he's guilty of third myself.

The prosecutors need to get the charge correct. If they charge him with the wrong crime and the jury is fair minded he will get off. I don't know the various definitions but colloquially I would charge him with manslaughter. I do not believe he deliberately set out to kill him but his actions were reckless and led to his death.

Surely if that restraint is in the manual, he has a good defence. I know nothing of the law here, or in America!
