The US system is very different to ours ,nothing Biden said was in the least controversial. AFAIK Biden's comments were made while the jury was in recess so shouldn't have influenced the verdict. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/04/25/fact-check-biden-support-right-verdict-chauvin-trial-not-illegal/7318349002/ "The jury was sequestered to make a decision on April 19, which means all jurors were in a hotel with marshals providing security — and without access to the news."

butlers 259 #111 Posted May 5, 2021 I also believe the jury was sequestered when he made comment. And they were carefully chosen words. God only knows what Trump might have blabbed out if he has been in office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

God only knows what Trump might have blabbed out if he has been in office. We'll seeing as Trump was out of office that's pretty irrelevant.

butlers 259 #116 Posted May 5, 2021 Another huge difference to the US way of running things is the jurors open to doing interviews afterwards. Seems very weird from our viewpoint. Think 3 have given interviews now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Unfortunately if you take something said by USA Today then you don't get the full picture. They along with much of msm are savagely biased along with these "fact checkers" . Anyhow, I'm only repeating information I've seen and heard. I don't have a dog in this fight and I don't really care one way or another. Americas problems run way deeper than one trial regardless of the outcome and the next few years are going to be a trying time for the whole country. I wish them all well👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You may even dislike them but to call them right wing racists is just ridiculous. It's an exaggeration for sure, but many Republicans are openly and extremely racist. Are they allowed to sit on such juries? If so, then so is a paid-up Marxist BLM guy, whatever that actually means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The sad fact is people from all walks of life and all sides of the political divide can be racist. Democrats, Republicans, Labour, Conservative, Black, White, Brown, Rich, Poor, etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
