Can someone explain to me why the Minneapolis City Council’s decision to announce a record $27 million civil settlement with the Floyd family in the middle of jury selection for the Chauvin trial makes any sense? What am I missing? Two seated jurors have already had to be removed from the jury, other prospective jurors have been struck because of their reaction to the settlement, the trial judge has basically had to say on the record that he hopes city officials just shut the fuck up about it, and it appears that the City just handed Chauvin a tidy appeal issue before the trial even starts.
