Oh wait. Who says that? No one, I hope.
So pathetic that there is a trial to prove that Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd when there is video of him doing so.

Let me introduce you to the U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 2.
Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.
And the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

What is actually “so pathetic” is that Ms. Handler and so many of her followers think that her statement is true.
