Are we allowed to discuss our feelings on the current televised trial on here? The non carp stuff section is the appropriate category available and no doubt will be locked at some stage but at the moment why not let some of us comment on what we think?

Ok I have always been outspoken, so I will start this debate by saying why are they even bothering to have a trial which will last a long time? The video footage which has been around for quite a while now clearly shows what has happened. My mind is obviously made up on who is guilty and who is not! Leave it there for the moment!

What appears straightforward to the observer is never that straightforward in the mind of the perceived perpetrator. That's why it'll last longer than you think mate.

There's a legal process which has to be followed. Even when the evidence is overwhelming.
Your - and anyone else's mind being made up isn't the issue.
There's huge public interest and the legal system itself is under scrutiny hence the televised trial.
You don't have to watch it.
Unfortunately it will probably be only a matter of time before this thread takes a turn for the nasty given previous experience.

It is a trial. But its never going to be a fair trial. Everyone on the jury will have seen and heard about it before, seen the riots etc.
I know it has to be a trial, but the whole point in it is that the jury should be impartial and make a verdict based on facts, evidence and legislation. That will not happen in this case. But there is no other way of doing it i suppose.

Interested in why you think it will not be a fair trial? Of course they have to go through the motions, really looking forward to hearing the police officers testimonies.

Innocent until proved guilty mean anything to anyone!
He is guilty as sin, but has to be tried in a decent and open trial. The televising of this shows to the world how open and transparent the process will be. But it has already been hijacked by emotion i.e. family, prosecution team and community leaders kneeling before the trial. Its a criminal trial governed by rules and legal parameters and should say as such. All they are doing is giving him a chance of a mis-trial or grounds to appeal.
All this ******** that it is the Police is on trial is just that!
It is 4 men who were negligent/criminal/unthinking/callous/uncaring as police officers and also as decent human beings, being put on trial.
I can guarantee that there will be riots, looting and disorder if he is found guilty or not guilty. And not just in America! In this country the women's vigil/protest hasn't taken off, "kill the Bill ' is floundering so lets get behind this to damage, steal, assault and a chance to feel relevant, unless its raining then we will do it tomorrow!

Guilty = Rioting, Looting and general excuse to cause mayhem pushed by Antifa and BLM Movements.
Not guilty = Rioting, Looting and general excuse to cause mayhem pushed by Antifa and BLM Movements.
Biden will stir the pot yet there will be no mention of it at all.......

But maybe others that were previously reluctant to contribute to these type of threads might do so now
