Yes, I think he'll go to trial. I don't believe he'll be found guilty of murder, though. Charging him with murder was always a pretty bold move, most likely done to calm the rioting. The manslaughter charge I do think he will be found guilty of, but there's no guarantee.

They dropped the manslaughter charge against him I believe.

They did? Well that's a big mistake, then.

Manslaughter was always the charge most likely to result in his conviction.

I wonder if this will be a mistrial. I could see a jury being unable to convict him for murder.

Very pleasantly surprised. It's so surreal to see an abusive police officer held accountable.

The fact that Chauvin committed his crime while in uniform and on the job should lead to a much tougher sentence than that for a typical murderer.

Officers that commit violent crimes while in uniform should be subject to harsher sentences than ordinary offenders.
