00:00:00.000 Do you think there's any chance? I've seen some support trying to get Chauvin out of jail. Is
00:00:05.600 there any chance he gets out, you think? I don't see how. So he got convicted at the state level
00:00:10.960 and then he decided to, an absolutely brutal trial. There were like 30 prosecutors in that
00:00:17.440 trial because it was so popular to go after Derek Chauvin that lawyers from all over the country
00:00:21.300 were volunteering from out of state to be prosecutors in the trial. One of the things
00:00:25.420 they did, and Chauvin had one defense attorney. So he'd be in court all day, arguing all day. And
00:00:30.920 then all those extra prosecutors would be filing arguments with the court all day long that his
00:00:35.260 defense lawyer had to deal with at night. So this guy basically had no sleep for weeks. And you
00:00:39.820 could see it by the end of the trial, the defense lawyer was exhausted. He was smoked. He was done.
00:00:45.180 But then Derek Chauvin gets convicted, as we all knew he would, at the state level. And he decided
00:00:49.900 to take a plea deal while he just pled to the charges at the federal level, because then part
00:00:55.040 the deal was he'd be in federal prison and they figured he'd be he'd be safer in federal prison
00:01:00.560 than in state prison but say for example trump would pardon him on the federal convictions well
00:01:06.800 that releases him from federal prison and he goes right into the state system he was trying to avoid
00:01:11.040 in the first place because those convictions still stand the president cannot pardon you for
00:01:15.600 for state level crimes.
00:01:17.740 Got it, so he's cooked basically.
