Re: Trial Of Derek Chauvin - Officer Accused Of Killing George Floyd - Natal Planets
*
The jury
for the murder trial of PISCES SUN Derek Chauvin
in the death of GEMINI SUN George Floyd
has been seated
clearing the way for the opening arguments in the trial
set to begin on Monday
AND will start on time
and
remain in Minneapolis.
Judge Peter A. Cahill of Hennepin County District Court
on Friday ruled against motions by Mr. Chauvin’s lawyer
for a continuance and change of venue
setting the stage for opening statements to begin March 29.
The 12-member jury includes two white men, four white women
three Black men, one Black women
and two women who identify as mixed race
according to information provided by the court.
Two white women and a white man are the alternates.
Mr. Floyd’s death in Minneapolis
captured on video
showed him pinned under Mr. Chauvin’s knee
for more than nine minutes
set off months of protests across the country
against police brutality and for racial equality
the largest mass movement for civil rights since the 1960s.
The racial makeup of the jury was closely watched.
Mr. Chauvin is white and Mr. Floyd was Black.
The pool of potential jurors in Hennepin County
is whiter than the population of Minneapolis
and has grown more so during the pandemic.
But the jury will be more diverse than Minneapolis
which is 20% Black.
The Minnesota Rules of Criminal Procedure
say that the alternates will be the last three jurors chosen
two white women and a white man in his 20s
who was questioned on Tuesday.
Only two of them will be seated when the trial begins.

The trial hasn't started yet, it's been Jury selection.
The trail begins on March 29th, right after the FM
We will see the evidence then and the defense at play.
Probably last a couple of months the Judge is claiming...that's why he asked & got a 15th Juror in place in case they are needed....He wants the trial to go as efficiently as possible.
