A juror on the Derek Chauvin trial who told the court that he had no prior knowledge of the George Floyd civil case was photographed last August wearing a shirt that read "Get your knee off our necks" and "BLM." He stated last week that he saw jury duty as a means to "spark some change."

Mitchell is the first juror in the Chauvin trial to speak openly about the deliberations.
Speaking in a show called Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell on April 27, Mitchell said that people should say yes to jury duty as a means to promote societal change.
"I mean it's important if we wanna see some change, we wanna see some things going different, we gotta into these avenues, get into these rooms to try to spark some change," he said. "Jury duty is one of those things. Jury duty. Voting. All of those things we gotta do."

According to Minneapolis' FOX 9 reporter Paul Blume, who live-tweeted the case on March 15, "Judge Cahill asked Juror #52, whether he heard anything about the #GeorgeFloyd civil case. He says, no. He explained hearing some basic info about trial dates, etc from the news in recent months, but nothing that would keep him from serving as impartial juror. #ChauvinTrial"
"Juror #52 wrote in his jury questionnaire that he wondered why other police officers at the scene did not intervene in #GeorgeFloyd deadly arrest. He recognizes the historic nature of the case. Defense says he is an acceptable juror. So state's turn to question," Blume added.

In a Facebook post dated August 31, 2020, Brandon Mitchell was pictured (seen below) wearing a shirt with the words "Get your knee off our necks" and "BLM," which is short for Black Lives Matter. This would directly contradict his claim that he had no prior knowledge of the case
In an interview with Mitchell on April 29, Mitchell told Law & Crime Network that the jury took "five or six hours" to determine the verdict.

He stated that the jury "definitely figured out manslaughter within the first hour, right away," adding that "third degree took maybe three and a half hours, second degree murder we figured out maybe thirty, forty-five minutes."
Mitchell added that he wasn't impressed by any of the witnesses Chauvin's defense called up.
