Defence secretary Mark Esper believed Donald Trump was leading White House officials to view a damaged toilet when the president posed outside St. John’s Episcopal Church in actions that were condemned.

Mr Esper has said that he walked with the US president on Monday through Lafayette Park because he wanted to talk to troops, and observe a vandalised toilet.

Quote

Twenty minutes after leaving his job at a Brooklyn hospital on Saturday night, 32-year-old Rayne Valentine was lying in the fetal position on the sidewalk.

He’d been beaten and kicked by New York police officers, his hospital ID smeared with his own blood, he told The Daily Beast.

Valentine, a Marine veteran who worked as a chef before the pandemic hit the restaurant industry, got a job in March at Kings County Hospital Center. He has spent the past several months moving medicine and patients around the facility, as well as piling hundreds of dead bodies—many of them COVID-19 victims—into refrigerated morgue trucks.

I only took two classes on American criminal law, but doesn’t a second degree murder charge require a degree of premediation and intent proven beyond reasonable doubt? If anything that increases his chances of getting acquitted.

Yeah upping the charges seems like a dumb idea, I know that they want a heavier charge so they're in Jail longer, but second degree will most likely get thrown out and he'll just get manslaughter.

Then riots will start again....

Not in Minisoda, second degree doesn't require pre-med only an equivalent bachelors.
