136 – Obviously (and Legally) Murder The Bayesian Conspiracy

The Conspiracy is minus one Jace but plus one Justin (a defense lawyer) this episode! We discuss the legalities surrounding the convictions of Derek Chauvin – the cop who (literally and legally) murdered George Floyd.

If you’re interested in a historical play by play of Justin’s write ups throughout the  court precedings, check out his posts on r/TheMotte:

Part three.



Part four.
