A high compliment from a man who understands eloquence and has helped so many prominent Democrats find their best voice.
Awaiting verdict. One this quick bodes well for the Prosecution. Not to get over my skis…but next issue is, if convicted, does he go straight to jail while he files his appeal? My guess, yes and yes. I will discuss after the verdict with @AlisonMorrisNOW on @NBCNewsNow.
Derek Chauvin verdict reached in trial over George Floyd's death https://t.co/ZgMKUKfHRi
As we think about the pressure on this jury, remember that, unlike most police cases - the Chauvin case has the support of the Police Department, from the Chief to the first officer on the scene - all agreed Chauvin’s use of force was unnecessary and excessive.

Joining @11thHour tonight. Breaking down the Chauvin summations. Pls join us.
Lawyers spend trials building credibility to cash in on it in jury room. Def/c has hurt his: pushing a “crowd" defense, a “tailpipe" defense, and it was "reasonable hold" defense. In closing, when def/c misstated the law - more damage. Pros. rightly called him on it. Will hurt.
Looking forward for the excuse on why no CPR or aid was given to Mr. Floyd.
