A woman who sat as an alternate juror on the Derek Chauvin trial told
a local news station that she was concerned about “rioting and
destruction” as well as people turning up at her house if they were
angry at the verdict.

Lisa Christensen also revealed to KARE 11 how the riots that preceded
the verdict were close to her house and that she routinely witnessed
them after the trial had concluded for the day.

    “When I came home, I could hear the helicopters flying over my
house… I could hear the flash bangs going off,” Christensen said.

    “If I stepped outside, I could see the smoke from the grenades.
One day, the trial ran a little late, and I had trouble getting to my
house, because the protesters were blocking the interstate, so I had
to go way around.”

Christensen said she had no idea she would be dismissed by the judge
and not be a part of deliberations, something that happened “right
before the 12 jurors were sequestered.”

The alternate juror said she was disappointed to be dismissed and that
she would have found Chauvin guilty if she had been part of the final
12 jurors.

Judging by Christensen’s remarks, that guilty verdict would clearly
have been influenced not primarily by the evidence, but by the threat
of mass rioting and threats to her own personal safety.

    “I did not want to go through rioting and destruction again and I
was concerned about people coming to my house if they were not happy
with the verdict,” she said.

The comments clearly suggest that members of the jury were swayed by
the threat of nationwide civil unrest, violence and looting that would
have undoubtedly occurred had Chauvin escaped any of the charges.

    “This is the clearest picture yet of the terroristic intimidation
jurors faced to ensure Chauvin was found guilty in what was
fundamentally a rigged show trial,” comments Chris Menahan.

    “That the trial was not moved out of Minneapolis is a sick joke
but since Charlottesville this has become the new normal.”

Other individuals who testified in defense of Chauvin also had their
homes attacked before the jury was sent away to reach a verdict.
