If you’ve only been following coverage of the Derek Chauvin for the alleged murder of drug-addled criminal black saint George Floyd on mainstream media, you’d think the prosecution were doing a bang-up job and that a guilty verdict was a slam-dunk.

But you’d be wrong.

Because the mainstream media lie. They lie as easily as the rest of us breathe and with more malign intent than a redback spider hiding in a condom.

The truth is that the prosecution’s case so far has been farcically bad. So bad, in fact, that more than a few legal commentators are beginning to wonder if they’re deliberately throwing the trial.

It’s not as if the Democrat government of Minnesota haven’t stacked the trial more thoroughly than any since the Jim Crow era. The prosecution was handed over to notorious black supremacist and Antifa fan, Keith Ellison, and an army of dozens of state-funded lawyers plus a gaggle of pro bono attention seekers. The trial is being televised live, meaning that the jurors’ faces are being splashed about for vengeful mobs to hunt down. Just to make sure, the legacy media have been publishing nearly every identifying detail of the jurors possible, short of directly naming them.

Chauvin’s trial has been set up to be a legalised lynching for the new era of systemic anti-white racism: call it “Jim Cracker”.

But its execution has so far been so comically maladroit that it brings to mind an old Gary Larson cartoon.

Even this lot are better organised than the Chauvin prosecution. The BFD.

The prosecution opened its case by parading a circus troupe of witnesses blubbering about how traumatised they were. If Chauvin were on trial for upsetting black people, he’d be a goner. But he’s not – and the state’s own witnesses systematically undermined its case that Chauvin deliberately murdered a helpless, pitiably compliant black man.

One witness was clearly reading from notes – a blatant violation of court procedure. Witnesses repeatedly took the stand to deny having acted aggressively toward police, only to be directly contradicted by video evidence of them shouting threats and approaching the police. Even on the stand, one witness became so aggressive and combative with defence lawyers that the judge was forced to intervene – at which point she argued with him, too.

Other prosecution witnesses testified that Floyd acted “high”, struggled to speak coherently even before police were called, fought with and tried to kick police, and “foamed at the mouth”.

Floyd’s girlfriend testified that they both had lengthy drug addictions and that Floyd had previously OD’d – with exactly the same symptoms (complaining of pain, foaming at the mouth) as exhibited during his arrest. Her other answers were obviously evasive, leading to speculation that the pair were in the midst of a drug deal when police arrived.

Indeed, she admitted that the other man in the car, Maurice Hall, was one of Floyd’s drug dealers.

Curiously, Maurice Hall, who had previously maintained that he would be “George Floyd’s voice” in court, suddenly announced that he intended to plead the Fifth.

The state’s use-of-force expert ended up making such a good case for the defence that “Prosecutor Schleiter appeared visibly shaken and angry”. The expert witness’s effort has also been described as “a train wreck of a disaster for the prosecution”.

But it’s the video evidence that is proving perhaps most damaging to the prosecution’s case. Despite Derek Chauvin’s body cam getting dislodged in the struggle to restrain Floyd – which on its own demolishes the prosecution’s argument that Chauvin inappropriately restrained a compliant suspect – there is plenty of other video evidence. Most of it has never been publicly aired by the media: and it’s obvious why.

The videos show that Chauvin’s knee was actually placed on Floyd’s shoulders and back, not his neck. The video evidence also shows that Floyd was saying, “I can’t breathe” long before he was restrained. In fact, while he was still fighting police from inside the car.

The video evidence also revealed that Floyd said, “I ate too many drugs.” The state ended up playing that section of video four times, as they tried to argue that Floyd had in fact not said what the entire court room could clearly hear him saying.

Medical evidence showed that Floyd had most certainly taken too many drugs. Three times the fatal dosage of Fentanyl, just for starters. Toxicology also showed the presence of norfentanyl, methamphetamine, cannabinoids, amphetamines, morphine and more.

He ate too many drugs, that’s for sure.

But three times the fatal dose of fentanyl is the kicker. Because how does fentanyl kill? By depressing respiratory function. That is, by chemical induction of asphyxia. Which eventually, of course, will result in cardiac arrest. Which is how Floyd died.

But that’s not what you’ve heard from the mainstream media. The mainstream media have deliberately ignored much of the damaging (to the prosecution) testimony, continued to parrot the stupendously-debunked lie that Chauvin had his knee on Floyd’s neck and deliberately amplified the few witnesses who helped the prosecution at all.

The legacy media are misleading their few remaining viewers about the Chauvin trial, apparently because the narrative is crashing so spectacularly. It might also be questioned whether media are trying to avert public eyes from a prosecution so comically inept that it must be considered whether that’s the whole point.

Because we all know what will happen, should the jury weigh the evidence without bias and deliver a “not guilty” verdict.
