Original Note:
Chauvin was convicted of second-degree unintentional murder, meaning the court found he didn’t intend to kill Floyd. Omar’s claim of an “intentional” “modern day lynching” misrepresents the legal findings and history of lynching, which involves extrajudicial mob killings https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Derek_Chauvin https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.19 https://eji.org/reports/lynching-in-america/ https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/explanation-of-the-charges-in-the-state-vs-chauvin-trial/
