They didn't even publish his criminal history at the time, nor did they publish the facts about the loving father who was shot in a Wendy's car park (Rayshard Brooks).
Infact many of the sites who reported on the shooting to begin with acknowledged that they chose not to publish his record and since went on to try and down play his record.

If he's found not guilty will we stop having to 'take the knee'?
No, all the business owners in America will need to take a knee... on the roof with their rifles.

Ah yes all those guilty business owners.
You must always bend the knee to your lord!
12 jurors have now been selected, only need 2 more for a total of 14 - 12 + 2 alternates ( couple of previous jurors from the original bunch were re-questioned about the city's settlement and then dismissed the other day)
The decision on moving or delaying the trial is due tomorrow seems unlikely given they've nearly got the full jury selected now. Can't find the tweet/statement now but the judge was getting a bit miffed at the prosecution's objections and at one point highlighted that they've got 10 lawyers on their side vs the defence's 1.

Jury pool so far has more black jurors relative to the population:
edit - the above is only 11, there are actually now 6 white, 4 black and 2 mixed.
That could perhaps be a good thing if the verdict ends up being manslaughter or not guilty vs if the jury was all white or almost all white.
edit - watch from about 6:50 mins in, judge got a little bit miffed with the prosecution's objection here:

Same thing with Hillsborough Inquiry
Have you done it? I haven't.
Only before I play football matches.
One useful article, in the youtube video I posted previously the judge got visibly angry with the prosecution and mentioned that they have something like 10-12 attorneys on their side vs 1 on the defense side (ergo he can't reasonably be in court all day and go grab transcripts of stuff he'd like to comment on that has only just occurred, such as the city's settlement comments).
He's pretty outnumbered but it isn't quite as bad as that - the 4 attorneys for the 4 officers are paid for by the police union and are able to collaborate + they have some access to a few others in the pool of 12 attorneys used by the police union.... but yeah not exactly the same as having some all-star cast of prosecutors working full time on the thing - the state really is throwing resources at this trial + has some veteran prosecutors working for free too!

Granted it isn't like Chauvin's attorney can just get, say, Lane's attorney to do admin work for him etc.. w.r.t. the sort of thing the prosecution was referring to and the judge took issue with but they can consult with each other etc..

Not really we've already seen with cases like Ched Evans what happens when the corporate media, celebrities and the social media pitch fork waving mob collectively cast judgement on the accused before they've even gone to trial.
Jurors are likely to need police protection if they cast a not guilty verdict because violent BLM and Antifa mobs who have spent the last year burning cities down will probably show up outside their homes and we're living in a time where cancel culture, firing people for unpopular opinions and dissenting views is widely accepted.
You can't expect fair coverage from the corporate media either, last year when left wing protesters descended upon the Whitehouse and then president Trump had to be evacuated to the bunker the media were mocking him and laughing about it and how he was hiding. Contrast that with their coverage of the January "insurrection" when it was protesters on the other side involved.
There will be people who just wont accept the outcome and keep beating the dead horse, in a lame attempt to try and not look foolish. Lewis Hamilton for example has fully bought fully in to the social media hype. They arent going to just let it go now.
As announced yesterday, the decision on moving the venue or delaying the trial is due first today at 8:15 am, then onto jury selection at 9am (which seems to indicate that perhaps the judge's decision as of yesterday was that the trial carries on).
Ironically, that the trial has been live streamed daily so far is perhaps one reason to not move it or delay it as other potential jurors might well have had more exposure, this was something the prosecution opposed but it's an aspect perhaps in their favour re: this decision.

On one hand you had a peaceful protest that turned ugly as security forces waded in with tear gas and batons so failed ex president Trump could take a picture with a bible.
On the other you had armed and delusional hardcore right wing nutters storming an actual government building at the behest of Trump.
Your conclusion is biased media.
Judge is seemingly only allowing very limited stuff from the 2019 video, not allowing his general behaviour etc.. but seemingly will allow bits with regards to him swallowing drugs - stuff leading up to conversation with paramedic is not admissable, tape of the paramedic isn't admissable either (as it shows Floyd's similar emotional behaviour) - can enter the info about the drugs, statement form the paramedic, high blood pressure etc.. Is allowing evidence shows that Floyd has very high blood pressure after the drugs, not allowing statement from Paramedic warning him re: heart attack.
Paramedic can testify why she told Floyd to go to the hospital, stuff about his behaviour at the hospital and whether he was violent etc.. isn't admissable.

As expected, Judge isn't going to postpone trial (doesn't think publicity will die down et.c.) also won't move the trial, hard to have avoided it anywhere in the state.
Did make some further comments re: the 2019 video - pointing out, for example, that if the prosecution were to introduce arguments about Floyd's behaviour/state of mind etc.. from their Psychiatrist then that would open up the 2019 video to the defence to use to refer to behaviour etc.. (which he isn't currently allowing)
