“We Must Assume the Jury Heard what Maxine Waters said – The Case May Very Well Be Reversed” – Alan Dershowitz Weighs in on Chauvin Verdict (VIDEO)
Harvard law professor and author Alan Dershowitz went on with Rob Schmitt on Tuesday night following the guilty verdicts in the Derek Chauvin case.
Rob Schmitt: A lot of the rhetoric around this case, the media coverage on this case, and also the violence all last summer did that have an impact on this case?
Alan Dershowitz: We certainly can’t be confident that it didn’t. We have to assume that the jury heard what Maxine Waters said, what Sharpton said, what Crump said, what others said. I think jurors knew that if they came out with a verdict, other than murder, the top charge there would be violence on the streets. Every mayor was prepared for that. Every police chief was prepared for that.
