    But the only reason to bring up his history is to justify the actions of the cop. There's no other reason in the context of the murder.

    Your post contradicts itself is what I'm saying. There's 0 reason to bring up that he's a "wrong-un" other than to justify the actions of the cop.

    Especially in the context of this thread where it comes across as you defending Cowboy's post (I'm not sure if that was intentional). Who is absolutely justifying the actions of the cop.

    I'm all for having the discussion about Floyd's history, but it's not relevant to the murder trial.

    I probably should have replied to Cowboys post directly. I'm glad justice has been served. Regardless of previous misdeamonours nobody should suffer.

    30 years they saying,unless Chauvin says he admits guilt and says he feels remorse,if he does because he is a first time offender maximum he can get under Minnesota law is 10 to 12 years,if he only gets 10 years it will kick off 8 weeks to sentencing

    He could get locked up for 75 years whenever he is sentenced. He is dying in prison whatever he gets and that is good news for him because someone would soon catch up with him on the outside.

    75 Years?

    40 is the Maximum.

    He's been convicted of all charges but he only gets sentenced on the highest charge, that being second degree murder.

    12 and half is maximum for charge 1 and 2 , 5 years for charge 3, where do you get 40 from?

    Yes. And again, he only gets sentenced on the highest charge.

    Alternatively you can look at it as serving all the sentences simultaneously. I'm not actually sure which is the case, but it's the same result. I know he doesn't serve them consecutively.

    12 and half is the presumptive for charge 1. Not the max.

    The max is 40 years, from what I understand.

    There's a lot of misinformation about right now. And to be honest right now I'm second guessing what's true. Maybe he can serve 75 years.

    We'll have to wait and see I suppose.

    The main headline says he faces 75 years in prison.

    After doing some digging, it's currently unknown if they will be separate consecutive or concurrent sentences. It seems based on prior cases concurrent is more likely though.

    As a bloke who - as part of a team of three - controls the media output of a football club, I am stunned.

    They've clearly not used a graphic designer for that, so we can rule that out. As in, you've had an idea, and it's gone to another human being to create said graphic, so another human has the chance to see the idea and speak up. I don't know enough about the NFL to know how many media guys they have at the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders. But our club secretary came from the MLS, as did our CEO and they've often told us that their versions of our three-man media, marketing and communications departments are five times as big as ours.

    So that idea has probably been seen by 15 people, at the bottom end, at least. Before it's been posted.

    Now, we don't often go to our CEO, owners etc with our social media ideas. They trust us. But we did feel like we needed to speak with them regards the recent noise regards this Super League. Because it's a huge incident. So we needed to know if we were allowed, basically, to mug it off. Which we were. But you ask, in this kind of role. Because as much as you might have a viewpoint and stance on all manner of issues, these channels are not your own. They're representing a multi-million pound business and thousands of supporters.

    Quite incredible then, that this has made its way onto the internet. And remains there. That they've seen the backlash and not deleted it.

    Not only have they not deleted it, they pinned it.

    They're clearly very proud of their terrible social media post that misses the mark by about 7 universes.

    In terms of the Las Vegas tweet.

    Well intended? Yes
    Misguided? Yes
    A line taken from the victim’s brother’s post verdict statement? Yes
    Ownership taken by the CEO of the franchise? Yes - statement below
    Worst tweet in history? No

    The people that have gone on LinkedIn to find the names of people who work in Social Media for the Raiders do nothing but emphasise how horrible this pile on/blame culture is online.
