She also emphasized that the \u201cAmerican justice system works\u201d and rioting for \u201cjustice\u201d is not the answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClearly, the verdict is supported by the facts,\u201d Pirro said on \u201cThe Five\u201d (video below). \u201cThis case was extremely unusual. I\u2019ve tried many murder cases and I\u2019ve sat as a judge on murder cases. It is rare that you even get a picture of the vicim in a murder case, other than maybe an autopsy photo. But, here, we had a living, breathing person that the jury was able to relate to every day, day after day, watching trauma of what he went through, begging for air, begging to breathe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was an emotional as well as an intellectual decision \u2014 and when I say that, make no mistake, the\u00a0facts are solid on this verdict, this verdict will be held on appeal,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, right now, what people need to understand is that the American justice system works; it works, that people believe in Lady Justice, that if we give it a chance, it can work. And for all those people who want to burn down streets, just let the court do its job and it will survive,\u201d Pirro concluded.<\/p>\n<p>A jury on Tuesday found Chauvin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-jury-finds-derek-chauvin-guilty\">guilty<\/a> of all three charges he was facing: second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in relation to the death of Floyd.<\/p>\n<p>On May 25, Chauvin and three other officers arrested and detained Floyd after he allegedly used counterfeit money at a convenience store. Following a struggle to get Floyd into the back of a police cruiser, viral video shows that\u00a0Chauvin knelt on Floyd\u2019s neck and back for nearly nine minutes to detain Floyd while awaiting paramedics.<\/p>\n<p>Chauvin\u2019s attorney Eric Nelson argued during the trial that Floyd\u2019s drug use and bad heart were crucial factors in his death, and that Chauvin used reasonable force through an authorized prone hold. The Hennepin County <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/medical-examiner-concluded-george-floyd-likely-died-of-fentanyl-overdose-court-docs-reveal\">medical examiner<\/a>\u00a0revealed that Floyd\u2019s autopsy showed the deceased had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/george-floyds-girlfriend-floyd-hospitalized-for-overdose-months-earlier-drug-dealer-with-him-during-arrest\">potentially lethal<\/a>\u00a0levels of drugs in his system.<\/p>\n<p>Nelson on Monday unsuccessfully asked\u00a0Judge Peter Cahill for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/judge-gives-weak-response-after-chauvin-attorney-complains-jury-not-sequestered\">mistrial<\/a>. But during his discussion with the judge,\u00a0Nelson referenced recent comments made by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) that seemingly encouraged violence if Chauvin is not convicted. With regard to a mistrial,\u00a0Judge Cahill dismissed the argument from the defense attorney, but he did blast the congresswoman and told Nelson she could have given him a lane for an appeal.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s expected that Chauvin\u2019s defense team will appeal the verdict.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"11.052434456929\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Judge Jeanine Pirro (yes, that Jeanine Pirro): &#8220;Clearly the verdict is supported by the facts\u2026 make no mistake, the facts are solid on this verdict, this verdict will be held on appeal.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AvaKMZxShH\">pic.twitter.com\/AvaKMZxShH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/justinbaragona\/status\/1384617783254716426?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 20, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/7-year-old-black-girl-shot-and-killed-in-mcdonalds-drive-thru-black-lives-matter-silent\">7-Year-Old Black Girl Shot And Killed In McDonald\u2019s\u00a0Drive-Thru.
