I think, given the level of exposure months before the trial started, it is likely that most of the jury made up their minds before they entered the court building, same as everyone watching at home. That's part of why they reached a decision so quickly.

Unless they pulled these jurors from a different country there's no way they didn't already know about the incident and have already had family and friends give their opinion on the case. I also think it's foolish to think they didn't hear about the remarks over the weekend that were made about what would happen if a guilty wasn't the outcome.
A. They write the guilty verdict and present to the judge for some semblance of normalcy for themselves.
B. They don't have a guilty verdict. Their lives are now in danger. Their families are in danger. The populace at large is now in danger.
Which would you choose?

If every one of them had already made up their minds about it, they lied during the jury selection process.
They should all go to jail.

I know it's against the law. I also know it was next to impossible to find any jurors who weren't previously exposed to all the media surrounding the George Floyd situation.

Why should they go to jail? Because all of America was bombarded by media talking about the George Floyd killing for months before random citizens were summoned for jury duty? See my above response.

If they had already made up their minds that he was guilty, then they lied when questioned if they could be impartial.
That’s against the law.

Would you have been impartial if asked to serve in the jury?

Of course the Jury was Coerced.
Who in their right mind would sit in that jury room and try to argue for the defendant in a case like this during such a polarized time? All for the prize of defending a guy who stood on the neck of another guy until he died.... just not worth it.

Fair to say, the verdict was coerced by Chauvin.
