An alternate juror who sat in on the trial for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin said she worried about future “rioting and destruction” and even personal harm if the jury did not agree to a guilty verdict.
When asked by a KARE 11 reporter if she wanted to be a juror, Juror 96 Lisa Christensen said she had “mixed feelings” due to the threat of social unrest that came with the case.
“There was a question on the questionnaire about it and I put I did not know. The reason, at that time, was I did not know what the outcome was going to be, so I felt like either way you are going to disappoint one group or the other. 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 explained in an interview on Thursday.

Pøblen stod uden for domhuset, og nævningerne turde ikke andet.
Så der er nok undsluppet mere end en lille vind. !
