At the Chauvin trial closing arguments.
Defense attorney Eric Nelson focused heavily in his closing argument on George Floyd's health and drug use, claiming they were more responsible for Floyd's death than Chauvin placing his knee on Floyd's neck, as seen in now-infamous footage.
To which PBS News Hour reporter Yamiche Alcindor observed:
"This argument is in direct contradiction to the prosecution's case which says believe your eyes, Chauvin's knee killed Floyd."
Gee, no shit? The opposing attorneys have opposing courtroom views?
What does it take to be a PBS Commentator, a driver’s license?
Not much better at CNN senior legal analyst Laura Coates tweeted:
Defense begins the closing by defining reasonable doubt, not with why Chauvin is innocent.
Seriously is this the state of Journalism today?
The old maxim about lawyers( told often for laughs) is
If the Facts are on your side pound the Facts
If not pound the Law.
The Law says “ guilty beyond a resonable doubt.”
Pathetic
