Unfair trials of police officers tend to favor acquittal, not conviction. The
jurors saw far more than we did, and they decided that he was guilty.

It turned out fair only because he was likely guilty. If he'd not been
guilty I think he still would have been found guilty of something. That
was why I was pretty confident in my poll answer. Smile

Seven different crimes. They will add charges to a crime to increase the
severity. I don't live in Minnesota (and apparently no one here does), but
being able to charge someone with multiple killings of only one victim does
not happen where I live. The prosecution has to decide which charge they
think they can get a conviction on and go with that one.

Now, they might charge someone with murder and some other deadly weapon
charge, or assault, or some other crime in order to potentially get a
longer or more severe sentence but, in Kentucky, you can only murder
one person once.

A criminal can be charged with multiple counts of the same crime if that crime
was committed repeatedly.

The prosecution will charge you for crimes when the believe they can get a

True, you can only kill a man once but you can do it several ways.

Yes, she did. She has purchased a few properties over the last five years from
what I read. That is not a crime or unusual.

I never read or heard of this story in the Post. As usual the post has not
presented facts, just a story.

But not with money from BLM. She is a co-founder of BLM in 2013. From
then to 2019 she received a total of $120,000 from BLM and nothing since
then. Her money comes from her work as a college professor, as a
television producer and books.

"Committed five times" is your hint. You can only murder one person once,
unless you revive them?

He only committed murder/manslaughter once.

Right, but he got convicted of two murders and one manslaughter. Here you
can only get convicted of one such charge per victim.

Here they have to pick one murder/manslaughter charge per victim.

I am wondering what is different in Minnesota, but I don't think either of
us is a good source for an answer to that question. There was a bunch of
extra verbiage tacked on to each one, when the verdict was read out, so
maybe that has something to do with it.
