Verdict Reached in Chauvin Trial, America Is Being Divided & Conquered - FULL SHOW 4/20/21

Legal Analysis of Jury Intimidation and Judicial Failure

Norm Pattis criticizes the defense for not requesting a "voir dire" of the jury following Maxine Waters' inflammatory comments. He compares the situation to the 1954 Sam Sheppard case, where the Supreme Court eventually overturned a conviction due to a "circus-like" atmosphere. Pattis asserts that the presence of National Guard troops and the smell of smoke in Minneapolis make it impossible for jurors to feel truly free to acquit.
