Derek Chauvin

All the jurors who ultimately ruled on the case were facing similar concerns of backlash, especially since leftist media had published their race, approximate ages, and their jobs. Judge Peter Cahill threatened twice to declare a mistrial but failed to follow through, perhaps due to fear also.

George Floyd died in Minneapolis on May 25 last year. On November 27, 2000, Damilola Taylor died on a South London street. Apart from the colour of their skin, these two individuals had nothing in common. Floyd was African-American; Taylor was African African. Floyd was a 46 year old has-been never was with a long […]

Dr Steve Turley nails it here as he discusses the fallout of the “conviction” (rather similar these days to “election”) of Derek Chauvin, who was convicted on all three charges laid against him in the death of George Floyd, a drug-using small-time criminal who resisted arrest to the point that he was restrained on the […]
