Was Ex police officer Derek Chauvin wrongly convicted !

[herfiehandbag]

I read that he received two sentences, both for over 20 years and both to run concurrently. One in the State Courts and one in the Federal Courts.

 

Trump can of course pardon the Federal conviction. There will doubtless be pressure on him to do so, but he would perhaps be ill advised. Appeals have been lodged and dismissed, and the reaction to a pardon would be phenomenal, given the crime and circumstances - perhaps most likely if the administration finds itself in trouble and wishes to create a distraction, and even put troops on the streets?

 

Even with a Federal pardon he will still have to serve his State sentence.
