There’s no question about Derek Chauvin being the one who did the thing though. We don’t know for certain Luigi Mangione was the one there that day. Extremely different circumstances.
We know floyd was killed, there is a video of it happening, he was alive then he was not, as a direct result of what was happening when he died on video.
The trial was to determine whether or not it was intentional and/or malicious.
You’re proving the point on why it was hard to give him a fair trial, as everyone had seen it reported as a killing. Millions protested for justice against his killer.
He died on video while under the influence of multiple drugs. Someone dying does not mean they were killed. Some people still believe he wasn’t killed, focusing on his fentanyl intoxication, though that runs a bit counter to the expert’s interpretation which called it a homicide.

Is that not what happens with a mistrial?

The mayor called him a murderer lol how the fuck are they supposed to have a fair trial
