136 – Obviously (and Legally) Murder

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 one.



Part two.



Part three.



Part four.



Part five.



Part, six (in two parts).







Hey look, we have a discord! What could possibly go wrong?
