Chauvin Juror: I Feared BLM Mob Would Kill Me if They Were Unhappy With Verdict
An alternate juror on the Derek Chauvin trial says she feared for her life because of violent Black Lives Matter protestors and “was concerned about people coming to [her] house if they were not happy with the verdict.”
The juror, Lisa Christensen, also told reporters how the riots which broke out in Brooklyn Center in the middle of the trial were right next to her house.
“When I came home, I could hear the helicopters flying over my house… I could hear the flash bangs going off,” Christensen said. “If I stepped outside, I could see the smoke from the grenades. One day, the trial ran a little late, and I had trouble getting to my house, because the protesters were blocking the interstate, so I had to go way around.”
