I'm disappointed with the verdict, but the justice system did it's job.  I always thought that at most he was guilty of manslaughter.  I don't think that Officer Chauvin intended to kill Floyd.  I do think that he [BLEEP] up by not getting medical personnel involved.

With that being said, I didn't watch the trial and didn't see all of the evidence presented.  I, just like most sane people accept the verdict.

I'm certainly sure that the appeal process is going to be in the news.  It's going to be a weak argument, but one that must be considered if our system of justice is to be trusted.  An open threat by a sitting member of Congress does have the potential of "intimidating a jury", especially since they were not sequestered and most likely saw the news.
