- After an earlier back-and-forth over a press conference where Minneapolis leaders again discussed a civil settlement in the death of George Floyd, Judge Cahill pushed back against the prosecution's request for formal filings from the defense to support future motions.

I have been watching this from the very start.The judge is fair, patient.We need more judges like him.The whole world is watching.
Very impressed with this judge. He saw what the prosecution was trying to do and make it nearly impossible for the defense to do their job. That was dirty and underhanded I'm glad he stopped it in its tracks.
Lol
Have you seen what the defense lawyer has done to try and discredit people with 35+ years of service?
The Judge appears to have a certain amount of disdain for the State attorneys. He doesn't want the State bullying him in his courtroom. He is allowing the defense to defend his client with a loose leash. He doesn't want a mistrial or appeal for catering to the State. In the end the Jury is in charge of the cops fate.
@@TheBeanis8 that’s their job, genius.
@@Lurch685 shows what you know up
Everything the defense is doing is standard practice. Making it nearly impossible for the defense to function isn't the same as discrediting someone who has biasese
I like this judge, he's trying to keep this from becoming another OJ circus!
This judge sucks
@@ninjamoves1111 Wow! Such an informative position you are advancing. How ever did you manage to attain such level of superior insight?

@@dkoch1271 ya as someone who trains BJJ I could not believe they allowed him in that court room.
Wow! Nice to see that the judge is judging fairly. Has to be a difficult case. All of America is watching.
I disagree, most of America is not watching - and those will be the people who burn cities to the ground when he gets off...
@@duelinthis Unfortunately the ones that aren't watching will be the first ones to riot. So far I've seen that the evidence shows he's not responsible.
1. Mr Floyd has shown a habit of eating drugs to avoid arrest.
2. Last time he ate drugs to avoid arrest he complied, unlike this time.
3. The restraint the Officer used was exactly how he was trained. (I disagree with the training)
4. Floyd was gonna die no matter what from the lethal dose of drugs he ingested.
But the BLM and Antifa are gonna use it to further their terrorist agenda no matter what. Its truly sad.
This entire debacle has spurred tens of billions in damages, tens of direct deaths, hundreds or perhaps thousands of lifelong injuries, the arisal of an emboldened, pervasive anti-police, pro-criminal culture with all the zealotry of bloody fledgling political uprisings of the past, perhaps hundreds or more in murders, rapes and robberies from opportunistic criminals, a collective nod of approval from many of our own Democratic leaders with personal subsidizing to boot, half a GB worth of harrowing, dystopic imagery and full-fledged cowardice from multiple governmental sectors, state and federal, the reverence and quasi-sainthood of a criminal who once threatened a pregnant woman at gunpoint... to the stomach, and much, much more. All in the midst of a pandemic.
And this case on which all of the above hinges at the threat of more to come, even in its infancy, has received less major media scrutiny on TV than Joe Biden beating his granddaughter at Mario Kart. If that isn't like the complacency of a beaten housewife, I don't want to know what is.
@Jonathan Harley if thats your take, then you’re not too bright and should prepare yourself for disappointment.
@Brad Grant your absolutely correct. Except it was a bag of Fentonal he choked on.
Dirty move from State trying to make Defense do extra work, but the judge isn't having it
They’re going to let the cop get away with murder
@@bleaaarghh In this case there was no murder. There was a fentanyl overdose. The reason the cops will walk is not because of any stupid huwite supreme or cops are immune bullshit, they will walk because they are not guilty. But hey, keep throwing gas on the fire, it's already going to be a giant riot across the US anyway. It's a good thing idiots like you aren't on the jury.

@william burgess If you think that fairness/impartiality (AKA the most important trait for a judge to have) is a characteristic exclusive to white people, then I would say that you're pretty racist!
The Judge in this case is 100% correct. He doesn't tolerate garbage.
Yeah😂👍he’s not taking any bullshit he wants facts only what happened how it happened
Well then he needs to come to my State, since everyone is saying he is a fair Judge, because I have yet to meet a Law Abiding one. A respectful unbiased fair one that just does his or her job.
@@sanaedillard6659 What state are you in?
Long life blessings peace to this judge.
Nothing like hindering the defense from providing a fair defense! 1 against 10 when things are happening in real time? Nice try on the prosecution's part... No Dice 🎲

@@toddcortez714 I would just ignore him... if you see his other comments, it’s pretty clear he doesn’t want a fair judge.... no matter how you feel, having a fair and impartial judge is mandatory if you don’t want a mistrial.... never mind that it’s both the prosecution and defendants right to have a fair judge/trial
It's funny. I never hear these arguments about being out-lawyer'd with black or brown defendants. Passive racism is the worst!
@@beasley598 Everybody get a defense. That's the law. The quality of the defense is what matters. This judge is just as impartial as they come. He sides with the defense because if the only lead lawyer that the defendant has needs to step out to file every time... The defendant does get a fair trial. The judge denied the defenses motion to change the venue of the trial. It's fair. Oj Simpson won his trial with a good defense so I don't want to hear about black people cases not being fair. You simply don't like him because he's white and accused of being responsible for a drug addicts death. The evidence will show what happened!!

Based on what I have seen so far. Derek Chauvin is not going to be found guilty.
He will be found guilty of the lesser charge. This case is too big and he will be found guilty as a means to satisfy.
Minimum will be involuntary manslaughter but i see that as a slim chance with the video evidence.
@@johnsnow5955 From the jurors who have been selected, I think there may be holdouts on the jury even against manslaughter, especially now that the 2019 arrest is allowed in evidence.
@@tortuedelanuit2299 Yah with the video evidence and the witness on scene telling them to get off him I highly highly doubt he sees anything less then involuntary manslaughter.
Prior arrests have nothing to do with how the office handled the situation incorrectly and the officer not following his training.
Got to remember George F is not on trial here and neither is his character the actions committed by the officer is what this court is here to judge not who those actions were committed against.
@@johnsnow5955 The important aspect of the 2019 arrest is that he also popped fentanyl and was hospitalized for dangerously high blood pressure.

@@johnsnow5955 you know nothing John Snow. Fentanyl Floyd died of an OD
@@HP-jm3zb that's right, Chauvin made him take a lethal amount of crack. That's not something criminal Floyd did to himself at all, it's the white man's fault
@@Tasmanaut Is that why two independent autopsies say Asphyxiation?
How does the ada not know how many lawyers are working this case for the state? The fact that he DOESNT know should tell you that there’s A LOT of them.
Exactly. Biased funded bs. One lawyer on defense and from what I been hearing close to 20+ on the prosucution side.
I really empathize with Nelson here. The amount of pressure he must be under is incredible. Not to mention being up against so many of his peers who are just as knowledgeable of law practice as he is. At the end of the day he is human and I hope he gets the respect he deserves for providing fair defense whether you think Chauvin is guilty or not. What an incredibly difficult role to fill..
Problem is they keep changing tactics since it isn't working on the prosucution side. Fact almost all the credible witnesses they had changed testimony or got up on the stand and made a fool of themselves. Between the martial arts background blurting out passing out they get up and fight back when they wake up to only taking 3-5 second for someone to black out on blood flow.... I give big prontos to george's ex getting up on the stand to. Fact he previously od on same symptoms as he was on the day he died really hurt them. Either outcome this is surely public trial unlike Omar muhammad trial. And i would bet a paycheck they'll be riots either way
@@rjptrucking4598 I agree completely. They're not doing themselves any favors. The final days of testimony are really going to be a blood bath for the prosecution when all the pieces come together. It's going to be extremely pivotal when the toxicology reports are gone over. Murder in the second degree? Very unlikely. I personally feel this case will end with a manslaughter conviction for Chauvin, and the other officers being found not guilty when they see trial.
@@nono5638 I've been following it from the beginning and I just couldn't find a justified reasoning for charges unless it was just to calm the riots...
This judge has been 100% fair to both sides. Nelson is doing a pretty damn good job considering the fact that he's way outnumbered but the whinny state. I'm pretty certain however that there is about a ZERO % chance that Derek receives a fair trial. I mean, seriously. The announcement of the 27 M to the Floyd family during jury selection!!!! Whether you love him or hate him, no way Derek receives a fair trial and that's f**ked up. Too many simple minded and hate spewing fools have already made up their minds before knowing ALL of the FACTS.
You said this perfectly. I couldn’t agree more
Well said.
Derek Chauvin is guilty any body with eyes can see that. Should we believe Mr. Nelson or our own lying eyes when we see a man dying on the ground. Derek Chauvin is probably safer in jail. I hope that's where he goes. He thinks he is the law no accountability. The state already gave a settlement. Wtf does it take to make idiots like you understand that Derek is guilty??? Does Jesus himself need to come down here and ***** slap you?!?
@@Kazuzual90 beyond a reasonable doubt is the standard. murder shows intent to kill, he can point to the actual training handbook and show the exact position he was in. I would be willing to wager that he has used the restraint before without anyone dying. that makes murder a hard charge to stick if the trial is fair.
manslaughter is closer, but once again, reasonable doubt. floyd had a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system as well as covid. i live in mn and would be I interested in the mental gymnastics of the state to say that covid which is deadly enough to shut down damn near the entire state as recently as december could not have made any difference here. So you have a guy who died with a lot of a very potent drug in him along with a disease that causes lung based symptoms at its core, and you want 12 people to agree beyond a reasonable doubt that it was the guy on top of him that 100% lead to his death.
maybe jesus should come slap you for casting the first stone.
@@Btobebone I am going to remember this conversation and once Dere, you know the murderer that you're trying to defend is found guilty I'm going to rub it in your face
This case should be transferred out of this district, can't get a fair trial when the council is handing out 27 million in settlement when there's been no judication of guilt...clearly there needs to be a change of venue ruling..
Not that I disagree but where in Minnesota are you going to find enough people who have NOT been keeping up with all the news?
@@stevehahn5916 - or anywhere in the country.
He will get a fair trial, and then go to prison, as it should be. If you have watched the tape, the entire eight minutes plus of the tape, you can't see any other possible verdict.
@@nickymatthews3491 Floyd died from a Fentanyl overdose, the autopsy/toxicology report showed that....I watched the whole tape, not the selected video the media narrative perpetuated that was false....His hyoid bone wasn't broke, so he didn't die from a knee on his neck, He said he couldn't breathe when they placed Floyd in the back of the cruiser, the police asked him if he has taken anything, they opened the window to get him some air, he then wanted to lay on the ground which police allowed and then he became non compliant, because he was dying from a fentanyl overdose which expands your lungs preventing you from breathing since his lungs expanded to twice their normal size...Should the officer had his knee on his neck and shoulder for that long, No, but he didn't die from that, he died from the Fentanyl overdose, whether the police were there or if he was in his own apartment, he would have died...
@@Deke1 Its funny how you say he died of an overdose and think the officers actions had absolutely no contribution to his death but then you say the officer was wrong..
So which one is it? is this an officer doing something he shouldn't which could have caused this mans death or is this an officer doing what he should and following his training to serve and protect Mr. Floyd? Last time I checked even if you accidently assist in the death of someone its still a crime punishable by prison.
People go to prison all the time for accidental manslaughter so even if that is your excuse then you agree he should be put in prison.
Also civil and criminal court are two totally unrelated things so no that settlement has nothing to do with this case.
Good judge
I’m sure the Judge does not want a re-trial
It already started, it's the people who are on jury duty that keeps dropping out.
@@kirklynncentore8794 If any higher court finds the proceedings of this one to be unfair in any way, the attorneys can request a mistrial. This means the whole process re-starts and a new jury is selected. This is what Tim is referring to.
How is it not a mistrial already with the city council awarding Floyd 27 million dollars before the trial even started? That literally never happens. It's so blatantly political to influence this trial. The mayor walks around town with a "I can't breathe" mask on. The whole thing is just looney tunes. The sad part is if he is acquitted these people they're trying so desperately to appease will just riot and destroy their own city again, it'll probably be worse.

Most likely.
How should he get off 🤣he kept his knee on a non violent criminals neck for 8 minutes he's guilty of manslaughter or 3rd degree murder at minimum the drugs floyd was on is irrelevant to the officers actions period ! Chauvin should n will be charged the other officers should walk.
@@j.studzz1925 okay manslaughter maybe
@@j.studzz1925 In some of Eric Nelson’s filings, he mentions that Chauvin didn’t exert an excessive amount of force on GF’s neck because there wasn’t even any signs of bruising in the autopsy.

The state is throwing everything they have at this case to make sure that evil racist Chauvin is going to jail,and that Minneapolis doesn't burn again.
@Clayton Bigsby Agreed.
@Clayton Bigsby it became very political when Ellison got involved.
he did not answer the question because the real answer is much larger then the public would accept. My money is its 10 "of record" they probably have 30-50 support staff. Basically they are treating this the same as they would a bernie madoff. And simply put you can throw as many lawyers at this as you can. The case is simply not going to work in minneapolis. And if you have "impartial jurors who are not fearful" then you will not get the conviction they want.
@@ArticWolfv so it wouldn't work in Minneapolis but it could work in another city? Also they might have a lot of lawyers working pro bono for the State
Atta Boy Judge ! Keep 'em in check.
Tremendous judge!
how did he figure a change of venue wasn't warranted?
They want a diverse jury pool. MN is more Caucasian as you get into the rural areas. He would rather go through as long a jury selection process as is necessary.
There probably was no place in this or other countries that hadn't heard of this case or watched videos over and over so I think good reason to keep it local.
It's more that he realizes a change in venue means a change in judge and allows the politicians to dig their fingers in and fuck with the trial more. Has nothing to do with the jury.

So is this why the judge said the female witnesses couldn't speak to whether Chauvin was angry but let Nelson DEMAND that little women diagnose the emotions of the bystanders? Fairness?
Why would the Judge in a glass enclosure need to wear a mask?
The need to set an example for all who's watching within the courtroom and without. Also because buildings these days recirculate the air and the virusses within.
@@edwardmiessner6502 Your still breathing the same air with a mask on.
Its his court.
I've spoken to many police officers regarding this case and can tell you that they won't be killing anyone for pleasure. Much respect to all the real men and woman who truly serve and protect.
This judge is really good. For all the live streams, he is very fair with his objections and sustains for both sides. Very impressed this wasn't a kangaroo court.
This judge in this moment and many others takes decisions to help the defense , not based on fairness. I will give you the reason: Normally you should follow the formal proceedings and present them in writing, which the defense didn`t do. Not following this rule and leave the courtroom as a wild west that would favour the prosecution, in fact.
The judge would never allow the prosecution to make those kinds of assertion, yet allow the defense. Meaning that he is not giving them the same opportunity or guns to fight with. The judges reason to allow the defense to make those assertion is partially because of his presumption that the defense doesn`t have the same level of support, which is inaccurate- number of lawyers. The association that funded Chauvin defense announced that Eric Nelson has about 10 lawyer behind the scene supporting him. Conclusion: they have the same level of support. In other words, the basis of this decision is inaccurate. He should have never presumed the level of defense between each side based solely on the number of attorney in court. If he was going to base his decision on that, he should have at least asked both sides to inform him about the support they have, not presumed it.
Not to mention that he cut the prosecution when he was trying to explain the resources that both party has, not allowing it to present their reason in regard to the resources.
Another example is to excuse a Hispanic juror because he had 1 or 2 months of martial arts experience, despite allowing a white woman who had a long time martial art experience as a kid. The 1 or 2 months would be inconsequential in this case, but he supported the defense on that merit.
He might not want to treat them differently but he has done it.
And that's the end of that discussion lol.
Tell me you don’t want to be a judge without telling me you don’t want to be a judge.
Poor Ellison, his side not being able to decide on how the court is run... river of tears
I didn't see Ellison in the courtroom. What's that under your shirt? I think your racism is showing, tuck it back in
So it sounds like the DA has way more support to find things and do things on behalf of his client 10-12 where the officer's lawyer is going about it alone. Not exactly fare to me!!

@@internetshopping1063
Mistrials aside, I presume Gregory is generally concerned about the abuses of the justice system... from bad cops to corrupt lawyers to politicization, officials angling for promotions and so forth.
In that, the shoe may not be in the wrong foot, so much as you need to use two shoes to make it work ;). He may have a bias against Chauvin from that angle, in wanting to down a bad cop. Though that bias may be tempered by wondering why an incompetent cop was told to do a job he couldn't do... maybe that's someone else's fault.
On the other hand, Chauvin is now also in the hands of that corrupt system, and that bias should work in his favor. If you don't like how innocents get jailed just so that a prosecutor can get his promotion, especially public cases like this warrant hesitation.
But I don't know that. Perhaps he just overlooked that half of the equation. An awful lot of people seem to do that, certainly in this court case.

I had the same thought about Ito :D
The gov't should not have more support than a private citizen during a trial. It should ALWAYS be the exact opposite if anything. In theory, if the prosecution's staff has that many people, it's because they have a large workload from all the different cases that are tried in court. Not to be piled all into one trial. Since that's exactly what they're doing, I'd say their gov't taxes its citizens too much and thus has a number of prosecutors and paralegals that are surplus to requirements.
The government is failing us. There is very little benefit to the average citizen the government provides anymore. (At least in large cities). Police of the state get involved with a citizen and the citizen is killed. The state pays the citizen's family tens of millions of dollars. Then the state pays the salaries for a dozen attorneys to attack the police the state employed. This system is insanity.
@@SugaryCoyote As it's currently being practiced, I would agree with everything you just said. It's a self feeding system and an excuse to tax citizens more and more. Creating problems on their own, or at least enabling more problems, then using that as an excuse to expand power.
Prosecutors have to prove guilt so far they cant .
This Judge is one of the best judges I have seen. If I should ever have to go into court I would want a three judge panel, in the cases of juries?, a jury is just 12 stupid people that wouldn't know what real evidence was if it bit them on the ass (:
Juror nullified verdicts have been good in the past judges could never do that
Unfortunately the multi-judge panels are for the appellate courts.
The prosecutor seems a little incompetent. You know the eyes of the country are on you. You don’t make these kind of mistakes. Especially if the jury hasn’t been selected yet. I would think whoever is handling this case should have encyclopedic knowledge of state law and the rules of the court.
They are just trying to ensure this case isn't thrown out or railroaded by silly things.
I would be paranoid AF too lol
I think the defense lawyer (nelson) comes across as a bit of a coke-head typical douche that is trying to argue a defense-case that doesn't exist. Talking about gun-fight and being down putting to a veteran LT.. Nelson is a bit much.. bit lawyery slimy douche
The state has a herd of lawyers...what other case is prosecution team so staked?
Private lawyers for the defense have the same situation
Should’ve done a trial by judge. This jury won’t be fair and impartial.
the judge should've allowed the trial to move out of minneapolis.
@@christofarnucc1344 Ur right about that, a change of venue would’ve been the most fair thing to do.
I hope all the jurors are minorities. This might prevent a riot when its all over
Well folks i think this judge is a huge police department supporter, he backs to the blue line
Or is just doing his job in not indulging in superficial tangents that are not within the bounds of how the case is being discussed in a court of law?
Let's not talk about that . Hahaha
You know if I was murdered I'd really hope the state would put so much resources into prosecuting the person ALLEGED to have killed me. You know they wouldn't. So much for justice being the great equalizer. I'm glad he comes down on them for being child like though. You'd think with their age and presumed experience they wouldn't play games but I think it's because of the cameras
nope, the cop probably wouldn't even lose a day over your death.
This guy is extremely fair.
He seems like a really good judge.
Good judge!!
Prosecution is playing dirty....
👏👏👏 Fair Judge 👏👏👏 The Prosecutor sounded like a whining 5yr old.
If only Trump had a fair judge. He still be in office
Anyone know what kind of watch the Judge is wearing?
Prosecution are utilizing all their prosecuting attorneys 10 against 1..
This judge is awesome
Judge sets a good example, wearing a mask.
And scene🎬✔🎭
I remember the Phil Castile trial, there was no justice for him! Same city same police department! The murderer walked on that one with a cash bonus!
Fentanyl Floyd
Such a sad life you must live to insult the dead.
Gorge Floyed Had 9 Minutes To Say "I SURRENDER !!!" He Chose Not Too. Derek Knew This Man Was A very Large Man And That The Police Would be In Danger If He Was Unleashed.
Finally a decent comment
dangerously based
People should fear a government who uses it's resources like this. I have seen few trials where more than one or two prosecutors work on the case. The state can bring all of these resources for the this trial... If it's politically useful, they will have limitless resources. Hope you never end up on the other side of this.
And on top of all of this, the state already gave the family of George Floyd tens of millions of dollars.
I hope they don't railroad this cop. It would be such BS to go to jail because some waste OD'd.
Yah I sure hope this cop gets to sit in prison and think about every single day he took from this mans family and kids.
@@johnsnow5955 hope they don't have any of his drugs
@@frankherman5195 Wouldn't matter if they did :) as drug possession or use is not a crime punishable by execution :)
Anyone have the clip where Cahill points and laughs with Nelson?
Did someone try to clap and get shut down at 1:53
This judge might be famous in 10 years
Justice for uncle Floyd
No
Already had it
This is an honest question...
What does justice look like to you?
@@michellelesser2924 - why did cops came in the ambulance rather than paramedics??
@@michellelesser2924 - the officers are trained aren't they ?? They know that if you kneeling on a man for a certain period of time is one way to kill a man

Wow, I find it funny that the judge didn't know, nor did he allow the prosecution to state that the defense has 10 lawyers and a $1 million dollars backing him. He has resources too and to downplay that is simply wrong. Don't get me wrong I think the judge has been fair during the trial, but please compare apples to apples.
I disagree slightly I think this judge has already picked a side he’s a dick to the state
@@ninjamoves1111 You could be right, but I don't know if you have been watching the trial, but he seems to be a dic% to both sides at times. I think he knows the world is watching so he can't favor one side over the other too much.
U rite I did get caught up on it and have seen him go in on the other side
Basically all I heard from the judge is stay on code. Ikyk
This judge already picked a side Derrick side, I don’t see him being fair
