Admitting guilt before going to court is how you get fried.

“Ultimately, those negotiations failed," Laszewski added.

At the time, Chauvin was represented by Tom Kelly, who declined to comment. Chauvin’s current attorney, Eric Nelson, did not return calls for comment.

How and why the deal fell apart, what was the offer on the table, and who walked away, is still unclear.

I bet he was trying to plead guilty to manslaughter instead of going to trial and getting murder 3. Now that they upped it to murder 2 I bet he doesn’t make a deal as he could actually be found innocent of that charge and get off entirely.

I’m not a legal expert but my reading of murder 2 seems like something he could argue his way out of.

Regardless, I don’t see him frying.

Minnesota doesn't have the death penalty. He's not going to fry.

Minnesota second degree doesn't have to show intent. He won't be able to argue anything when his ex boss and co-worker testify about the issues he and Floyd have had in the past.

He'll fry when the brothas in prison throw oil and hot pot water on him and give him a ride on the Jeffrey Dahmer express train to hell!

Chauvin is now also charged under Minnesota's "felony murder" statute. The felony murder rule allows one whose conduct brought about an unintended death while committing a felony to be found guilty of murder by imputing malice when there was no obvious evidence of intent to kill. Minnesota courts have observed that felony murder is an "anomaly" in homicide law, because malice is imputed from "crimes qualitatively different from and far less severe than murder."

He can argue that it was the fentanyl is his system that caused an otherwise non-lethal restraint to end his life.

Cops incredibly rarely get convicted while on the job, the skeptic in me thinks this went from a slam dunk for the prosecution to an uphill battle.

I think we all want to see him convicted but I wonder if some are trying to over charge so he gets off and causes more discontent and rioting and demands for change.

Well the nog died of a heart attack. If he was eating Popeyes would we charge the drive thru ho that gave him the fries if he keeled over and died from a heart attack after eating them?

These libtards have lost their minds.

If that is the case why'd the murderer try to make a deal?
