A juror who helped achieve a unanimous ‘guilty’ verdict in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin may now end up causing a mistrial in the case after photos were discovered of him attending a Black Lives Matter rally and wearing a pro-George Floyd t-shirt.
As The Washington Times reports:
A juror in the Derek Chauvin trial may have jeopardized the guilty verdict by attending a rally last year and wearing a “Get Your Knee Off Our Necks/BLM” T-shirt, raising questions about whether he told the truth during jury selection.
Brandon Mitchell, known as Juror #52, told Minneapolis news outlets Monday that he attended the Aug. 28 march in Washington, D.C., featuring speeches by George Floyd’s siblings, while a photo circulating online shows him with two cousins wearing the T-shirt as well as a “Black Lives Matter” hat.
What may come back to haunt the prosecution is that Mr. Mitchell, 31, answered “no” when asked during jury selection if he had attended any protests for George Floyd.
“In a Facebook post dated August 31, 2020, Brandon Mitchell was … wearing a shirt with the words “Get your knee off our necks” and “BLM,” which is short for Black Lives Matter. This would contradict his claim that he had no prior knowledge of the case.” https://t.co/M84Wq0OB0P

“I think they asked if I attended any protests for George Floyd or anything for police brutality. My answer was no because I hadn’t,” Mr. Mitchell told WCCO-TV in Minneapolis. “This particular march was more so for voting, voter registration. Getting people out to get out and vote for the presidential election that was upcoming a couple months afterward … This was the only thing I attended.”
Mitchell’s misleading statements during jury selection are likely to weigh heavily on any decision to rule the case a mistrial, as it will merey add to the mountain of evidence that already exists that Chauvin was simply unable to get a fair trial in a city and jury pool which had already been poisoned against him by social pressure and the media.
Well, there you have it. Pictures!
Pictures aren’t enough evidence to convince globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep as long as globalist media continues to feed them lies .
Like globalist puppet $oro$ didn’t plant that globalist puppet on the jury . . . . .
Not only that. He funds black lives Matter the founders are his puppet!
Derek Chauvin is a modern American hero.
A hero for what?
A HERO, for “HELPING” get another criminal GHETTO RAT,off the streets
Yes, how many people died from George Floyd killed selling his poison drugs on the street.
Trying to do his job. Don’t resist and Floyd might not be dead , except for the lethal amount of drugs he enjested and did not tell the Police about .
He has prevented millions of crimes and victims, that makes him a hero!
what planet you from? how did he do that under the influence?
well now Mrs. Lincoln beyond this how did you enjoy the play?
What a dumb statement! He is NO hero
Hey Kimberly, shut up, you’re a clown who has never dealt with these doped up idiots. Spent many a weekends trying to control these scabs on society. Always someone else’s fault when they in up dead or in prison. You people sit home in comfort while the police try to maintain law and order. Do a ride along 12am to 8am on any city club circuit and then judge. Sometimes optics can be misleading?
duh! she is agreeing with you!
beyond dumb
Despite this revelation he stands as a murderer plain and simple. When he continued for 3 min more after being told he had no pulse he committed murder.
This combined with Maxine Waters antics will result in a mistrial and change of venue to a neutral site.
Neutral site ???? What country are you thinking of?
LISTEN UP….PREZ TRUMP Did NOT Get a FAIR ELECTION and DEREK CHAUVIN Did NOT Get aFAIR TRIAL. GOD Says…THERE was VOTER FRAUD and HE Ruled GEORGE FLOYD’S DEATH as ACCIDENTAL SUICIDE at HIS SEAT of JUDGEMENT. GOD is NOT a LIAR. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
agree 100
Did she come to you in person or did she whisper this? Either way let us know who you are so you can become the most famous person in history on this planet!
Chauvin deserves combat pay and a medal.
I wouldn’t say THAT, but he was NEVER going to get an unbiased trial!!! Floyd was a CAREER CRIMINAL who died while committing yet ANOTHER crime, while high on ILLEGAL drugs. Is Chauvin completely innocent? Probably not. But who ULTIMATELY is responsible for Floyd’s death, FLOYD!!!!!! You won’t see ME shed any tears for anybody who is killed because they chose to commit a crime.
You got to be a idiot to associated to BLM , ignorance prevails
Stupid blm supporter makes that trial a total shame more than ever. He thinks he is so smart. The entire group of thugs need to be gone.
Says allot about the jury selection process.
Mistrial for chavin
Not gonna happen. The guy got screwed and it’s over
THE ONLY REASON THERE WON’T BE A MISTRIAL IS THAT THEY WOULD BE AFRAID OF MORE RIOTING AND LOOTING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A NEW TRIAL.
I think the whole guilty verdict was out of fear of more rioting. Totally political. Factoid that was ignored was Floyd was complaining of not being able to breathe even before he got in the squad car and before he was on the ground. Chauvin’s knee wasn’t on his jugular but in between his shoulder blades. Only thing Chauvin is guilty of is excessive force after Floyd was handcuffed. No need for the knee after Floyd’s hands were cuffed behind his back and of course over 9 minutes of it was completely uncalled for. Floyd’s death I think was because of the drugs in his system not a cops knee.
I think they’re hoping for a mistrial. The 3 convictions thwarted their plans to loot, riot and burn the cities as they had been planning for.
Now maybe he will get a fair TRIAL. Also, grant a “change of venue”. Get him out from under Keith Ellison’s control!!
Chauvin Trial to be Ruled Mistrial After THIS?
True click bait. After clicking on this, the correction was “COULD BE” how nice.
So this juror when asked if he attended any marches or justice for GF he says no.
So he goes to a “get the vote out rally ” dressed in FULL FLOYD BLM garbage and says he was there to support voting. To quote the ever loveable Bugs Bunny “WHAT A MAROON”!! Thank you Mr. Mitchell for being as stupid as you are, or a flat out liar, to give Mr. Chauvin a 2nd trial he so much deserves!!
Definitely a Mistrial!
Whether or not the trial is ruled a mis-trial is almost irrelevant. The verdict will be appealed. What counts is what happens on appeal, not on how many trials are held.
It is unfortunate the Chauvin defense team didn’t find this earlier.. I watched a lot of the trial and I was NOT impressed with his legal defense AT ALL!
It looks like they had one in the woodpile
Democrats and the MSM are rotten to the core. They can’t be re-engineered to become Americans again in the future. They are totally and completely hopeless. It just may be the time for a Jeffersonian solution to our social/political problems, the hate-filled leftists have caused.
Amen!
He deserves a new trial. This is blatant prejudice against him.
The entire thing is a farce. Should have never been a trial. Floyd committed suicide by overdose of fentanyl and was saying he couldn’t breath BEFORE they even restrained his felon buttocks ……
Good Morning well do you really think anything is going to happen well forget it nothing is going to change because the media keeps reporting about the case to stir up trouble so when something else happens to a socialist or another black person by a police officer that will be forgotten
This is about Black REVENGE against Whites with Blacks insanely using this opportunity to destroy American culture and laws to gain power and money. Look at what Blacks achieved in every country in Africa. If Blacks are allowed to continue they will kill every White and Asian.
It is difficult for most Negroes to separate their trained-in animosity toward “White” Caucasoids from whatever moral or religious convictions they claim to be uncompromising about. No less an authority than American Negro author, James Baldwin says so. Defense counsel seemed unequal to the task of jury selection. The police union would have done better had the hired Baldwin to handle that task.
Chauvin’s defense counsel was workman–but not at all worth the money Chauvin paid him…which was $0. Get it?
Chauvinism needs someone to set up a defense fund for this scapegoat. And then the venue needs to be changed…from 1942 Berlin to someplace in real America where juries are selected from real Americans who are true to their word and adhere to the rule of law.
Dad gum. And there we all were thinking that this trial was pure as the driven snow. I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
All of that plus Mad Maxine inciting a mob outside the courthouse for further confrontation unless the jury found Chauvin guilty.
It’s time for white people to stand up to the Marxist mobs
The entire trial was a farce; should NOT have been held in Minneapolis; should have been abandoned after Maxine Waters’ comments; did NOT take full evidence of overdose symptoms into consideration; and had a biased BLM activist on the jury!!!
He should be acquitted on all charges!
“That was not me! I must have a twin! My friend sent me that picture yesterday!” If you are going to lie, make it worth telling…..
#freechauvin
He ONLY attended a past event that supported BLM and praised Floyd. So the phony claimed he was not biased in favor of the Marxist BLM. Everyone one of those commies are liars.
One man is being arrested for passing phony money and the other is forced to restrain the thug under the influence of drugs who is a big, big man and resists arrest even in handcuffs. Yet it is the criminal who is deemed the hero. NOT IN MY WORLD!
Just the fact that Mad Max showed up spewing her hatred, that’s enough for a mistrial.
There you have it. The truth and nothing but the truth, right?
A very clear video showed Chauvin displaying 9 whole minutes of dangerous cruel sadistic behavior. How could anyone call such an obviously evil person a hero? ? ?It is equally rediculous though not quite as egregiously wrong to call a criminal addict like Floyd a hero.
With impunity, the liberals today and for the past 10 years, have done as they pleased – from rioting (arson, breaking and entering, robbery-called looting -,even assault and resulting in some murders of law enforcement agents, handling confidential through Secret US official information in a cavalier, unlawful way (a top Government official), yes, collusion with Russia, Marxist group alling for FBI agents to genuflecting before them – on and on and rarely a move is made against them. If they are “investigated” either they are cleared, decided they didn’t INTEND any wrong doing, on and on, unbelievable handling of cases. Otherwise, they rarely really investigate, arsonists, looters, property destructors, assaults UNLESS it involves a conservative approved event or person – if it’s approved by liberals it is forgotten and/or completely not investigated!! I am surely other Americans are sick of it. I’m beginning to think the corruption of our FBI, we are realizing goes much deeper than just the head honchos of a once vaunted Law Enforcement organization!! And now, no matter the “evidence” in this particular case, the verdict was driven by mob rule!!!
Mistrial
Obviously there are going to be appeals and an effort to obtain a mistrial. Hopefully the defense will be stronger than what happened during the first trial, but I do think that Chauvin is guilty of unintentional manslaughter by not paying attention and rendering help when Floyd stopped breathing. I do not think that this was murder as there was no intent regardless of whether or not he contributed to the death. Floyd was doomed from the start unless someone knew that he had consumed the fentanyl and provided emergency medical procedures immediately. People on certain drugs can be extremely violent to a point where even a stun gun does not phase them. It is obvious that Floyd was not complying and his actions were not consistent with not being able to breathe prior to the over administration of the knee to neck hold.
Yea, because of that. Never mind all of the other very compelling reasons.
Mistrial
So what punishment is that juror going to get for lying to the court??? Was he under OATH?
If George was breathing at the scene and was breathing when put in an ambulance and was breathing when he got to the hospital….how in the world do you allege Chauvin “murdered him”….particularly in light of the fact that he had high levels of several drugs in him. Most likely it was those drugs that led to his resistance and fighting with the police. Had he just simply followed the instructions he would not have had any type of violent altercation. After BLM and Antifa burned down over 5000 businesses and threatened numerous citizens, getting a fair trail anywhere would be difficult as the whole situation was know world wide, let alone in Minneapolis. Both Antifa and BLM are out and out domestic terrorist organizations and need to be handled that way.
Tainted jury all around. I have a hard time seeing how the Minnesota Appeals Court will not overturn the verdict. Better have the National Guard deployed with bayonets fixed if it does.
Chauvin never had a chance at a fair trial in Minneapolis. The judge should have moved the venue to another part of the world, like GUAM HAWAII but to another city in Minnesota. Chauvin is guilty of criminal negligence causing death but not murder. With Biden and Waters commenting on the trial both politically urging a confrontation like a major riot if found innocent, Chauvin never had a chance to a fait trial and discovering the fact that this juror LIED about NO KNOWLEDGE of the Floyd incident indicates he had undo influence in the outcome of the trial. A mistrial will soon be declared, and the FBI will come in and declare Floyd’s civil rights were abused. And the fact that 27 million dollars was paid to the Floyd family by the city reeks of “YOU BETTER FIND A GUILITY VERDICT.” to the jury
What about Alt Juror story?, any truth do that
When what Chauvin was charged with we all saw on the videos shown at the trial. Now the law says that if a person becomes unconscious while in police custody, then it is the responsibility to try to revive the person. When Chauvin was told that Floyd had no pulse, Chauvin did noting did not even get off of Floyd for two more minutes.
Under the laws of this USA that is called , “depraved indifference” which is 2nd degree murder in any law book you look at.
Just one more example of why this trial was anything but fair or just.
If he was a Republican they would burn down the city
Have the new trail in east ing Ky
He needs to be put in jail because he lied and cost the state so much money.
Mistrial indeed…
but will any judge in Amerika have the stones to do call it??????
he was lying! They all lie
A picture is worth a thousand words. No prior knowledge? Yeah right!
Let’s see…juror, congresswoman, president, media all widespread vocally endorsing a guilty verdict, not to mention threatening reprisal if a not guilty verdict rendered, waaay ahead of and just before the trial etc. Of course we can rest assured that Chavin was “presumed innocent until proven guilty.” (Oh, let’s not forget, disregard the “proof.”)
