Expect a lot of hot legal takes once the Derek Chauvin trial verdict comes in, but don’t discount all the hot legal takes that are trying to get out in front of the rest.
Like this one from Laura Coates:
Defense begins the closing by defining reasonable doubt, not with why #DerekChauvin is innocent. Think about that. #DerekChauvinTrial#GeorgeFloyd

Actually, we’re thinking about this:

Is CNN’s senior legal analyst new to law? https://t.co/9R3d8orTLN

Perhaps this CNN analyst should reacquaint herself with the standard for criminal conviction https://t.co/RaA03Cspf7

What an utter embarrassment you are. You are not a "legal analyst." Any lawyer – even the bad ones – know the burden is on the government to prove guilt, and the defendant has no burden to prove innocence. YOU HACK.

Scariest part of this is that she has "former DOJ" in her bio. How many people did you put in jail that don't belong there, Laura? https://t.co/zwtKxfxKpn

We shudder to think.
