And I think it\u2019s indicative of the fact that we now live in mob rule,\u201d Owens said, adding that Chauvin\u2019s trial was \u201cpolluted from start to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Minneapolis jury <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-jury-finds-derek-chauvin-guilty\">convicted<\/a> Chauvin on Tuesday of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. The jury concluded that Chauvin had murdered George Floyd while arresting him for attempting to pass fake currency at a convenience store last year.<\/p>\n<p>Owens said that the media began manipulating the facts of the case and building a false narrative around Floyd almost from the moment he died. She expressed surprise that the Minneapolis Police Department held on to police bodycam footage of Floyd\u2019s arrest while video shot by a bystander echoed around the internet and the media for months playing into the false narrative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I watched the full tape, I was astonished that they didn\u2019t think to just at least add this context so that people understood, yes, this person was high out of his mind. He asked to be put on the ground. He was resisting arrest,\u201d Owens said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe media said he was just getting his life together \u2026 He had moved to Minnesota. Yes, he had been in prison in the past, but he was just helping the youth. And everyone was crying and, oh my gosh, this man is getting a second chance at life, and maybe had the wrong idea or whatever it was, was using counterfeit bills and somebody called the police and was killed. He was brutally murdered on the basis that he was black,\u201d Owens said, summarizing the dominant media narrative. \u201cAnd then they successfully hid every piece of evidence that would have transformed public opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me I think, the saddest part of this is that, what we need to acknowledge is that right now, mob rules,\u201d she added. \u201cThe media creates the mob, and the mob rules, and that\u2019s what we just saw play out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the show, Shapiro and Walsh pointed out how the trial could have been compromised and how the jury\u2019s decision suggests that it was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t have to say that you love what Chauvin did. You don\u2019t have to say that Chauvin acted appropriately. You don\u2019t have to say any of that stuff. What you do have to say is to not even believe there\u2019s reasonable doubt on the murder charges \u2013 on the murder charges where you would have to have intent \u2013 that suggests to me that this was far less about the actual facts of the case and far more about all of the hubbub surrounding the case,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201cThis trial never should have taken place in Minneapolis. It should have immediately been transferred in terms of venue. You were not going to find an impartial jury in Minneapolis in the single most publicized criminal justice case of our lifetime, at least since Rodney King.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walsh then pointed out that the jury was never sequestered, or shut off from any outside news or commentary, going into deliberations in the case. Before the trial ended, Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democrat-maxine-waters-on-if-derek-chauvin-is-acquitted-get-more-confrontational-on-the-street\">Maxine Waters<\/a> (D-CA) traveled to Minneapolis and called for protesters to be \u201cmore confrontational\u201d unless Chauvin was found guilty. After the jury entered deliberations, President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-joe-biden-on-chauvin-trial-im-praying-for-the-right-verdict-evidence-is-overwhelming\">Joe Biden<\/a> said the evidence was \u201coverwhelming\u201d in favor of conviction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe irony is the only verdict we could really trust is an acquittal on all counts. I think that would have been the right verdict, but it\u2019s also the only one you can trust because it\u2019s the only one that could not have been motivated by anything but a look at the evidence,\u201d Walsh said. \u201cBut with this verdict, you have to obviously wonder, is that how they saw it when they investigated the evidence or are they coming to this decision because they know their lives might be over, might be ruined if they came to any other decision. They know the media is going to leak their identity and they are going to be looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Daily Wire Backstage: Derek Chauvin Verdict Live Coverage\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IUxKODVksUE?start=441&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-jury-finds-derek-chauvin-guilty\">Jury Finds Derek Chauvin Guilty<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
