“We cannot be satisfied with what we have right now”
During a jury session in Minneapolis, Biden, speaking in the Oval Office, broke the silence in a lawsuit that angered the entire country. “We are praying for a fair trial,” he said.
Jen Psaki, spokesman of White House, has refused several times to make any comment on Biden’s statements, who had already spoken out before sentencing that Chauvin was a confirmed criminal. The president, in her opinion, did nothing that could affect the opinions of others, although many in White Office expressed dissatisfaction with his words. No citizen can be called a criminal until a court decision is made.
Peter Cahill, the judge presiding at the hearing, alerted politicians to the comments they make during the hearing. He would like to stop any statement that may come from any politician or governor and has a reason to ask for it. You show disrespect for the rule of law, the judiciary and their functioning were his words after sending a jury to discuss.
Often, lawyers use the statements of important political figures to put pressure on the court and on the jury, since their opinion and verdict can be influenced from outside. This happened with the representative of California Maxine Waters, who called for more aggressive behavior if there is no conviction. After that, she was reprimanded.
