Focus on is that second degree murder charge. heres the reason why, weve seen, and you and i have discussed most global instances of officers wrongfully killing black people, most of the time, they get 20 years or less. that second degree murder charge means that these officers are convicted, theyre looking at a minimum of 15 years, which is consistent with what we see officers get in other contexts and other case. if they get to the top and of this and seeing rain, 60 years, which they could ba...

To hold these officers accountable from the civil system and criminal system, it will continue because theres no reason for them to stop. >> speaking of holding them accountable, i want to talk about these charges for a moment. they include second degree murder, aggravated assault, acting in concert, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct, official oppression. based on what youve seen on the video, weve learned about this, how did those charges line up with that footage? >> those charges lin...

The phone? how often do they call home? how often do they post on social media? and then all of a sudden, all of those contexts just stop abruptly, that lends itself to the idea that this person didnt voluntarily go missing. this person is likely dead, and the cause of death is homicide -- or manner of death is homicide. so, again, they have to establish the fact that heres somebody thats vibrant, communicates all the time, 24/7, and now it just stops, consistent with the timing, for example, of...

Subvert the lawful transition of presidential power, the way it was supposed to take place. mike pence shows up on january 6th, he counts the votes, they certify the president. he tried to subvert that with false claims of a stolen election. so, i think this one too is a fairly easy charge to prove. there is some argument that when you say defraud, it means to fraud out of money. so, i suppose that is an argument. but that argument does not succeeded in other contexts. so, i would expect that th...
