Judge Calls Waters' Comments on Chauvin Trial ‘Abhorrent'

 

You have got to be kidding me!

After all of the things being said and done over the last year or so from trump and his trump republicans in congress this judge has the tenacity to call out Representative Maxine Waters’s frustration with the state and its treatment of non-white citizens!

Judge Peter Cahill showed frustration with Waters' rhetoric shortly after the jury was dismissed Monday to begin deliberations. Chauvin's defense attorney had motioned for a mistrial in light of Waters' comments. Cahill denied the motion but called it "disrespectful to the rule of law and to the judicial branch" for elected officials to comment on the outcome of the case.

"Their failure to do so, I think, is abhorrent, he said. ”But I don’t think it has prejudiced us with additional material that would prejudice this jury. They have been told not to watch the news. I trust they are following those instructions."
