The prosecution has to convince the jury that the autopsy report isn't credible, nor is the video evidence, and also that Chauvin wasn't following his training.
I mean, at this point, a thinly veiled threat of being alive by nighttime if you vote to acquit is enough to get people in line. Why bother with evidence, when good old fashioned extortion and guilt by association works?
I thought about this the other night. I would never want to sit a jury like this, specifically because of threats.
