The EMT "lady" told the court she did not have any ID with her you moron! So the cops were supposed to stand aside and let her work on Floyd?It's not looking good for Chauvin at this point, in my opinion.
- So far we have plenty of credible witnesses who are consistent in saying that they were concerned about Floyd while this was happening. They were vocal about their concerns for Floyd and some of them even had a specific background in understanding why it was so concerning. The MMA guy and the EMT lady expressed professional insight into why this was a a concern. The EMT lady even offered to help.
- The paramedic testified that Floyd was dead at the scene.
- Chauvin's former superior officer said that it was unnecessary for Chauvin to use that much force after he was unresponsive.
I have no idea what the defense is going to do with all that. So far, they've tried to show that the crowd was angry and that it was distracting for Chauvin. Seems like a terrible strategy.
I have to guess that their strategy is more about the medical examiner's report. But I don't think that's going to work either as the report itself is clear about how he died.
The ONLY medical examiner who examined Floyd wrote in his official report the cause of death was a drug overdose.
"This one's for you Nicole and Ron".
You should probably read the medical examiner’s report.
You mean where they say there was no physical trauma to the neck? In any way?
That medical report...or the one that said
the Hennepin County Chief Medical Examiner, Andrew Baker:
"No life-threatening injuries identified --
"A. No facial, oral mucosal, or conjunctival petechiae
"B. No injuries of anterior muscles of neck or laryngeal structures
"C. No scalp soft tissue, skull, or brain injuries
"D. No chest wall soft tissue injuries, rib fractures (other than a single rib fracture from CPR), vertebral column injuries, or visceral injuries
"E. Incision and subcutaneous dissection of posterior and lateral neck, shoulders, back, flanks, and buttocks negative for occult trauma"
In short: No bloodshot eyes and no trauma to any part of Floyd's neck.
And yet, day after day, prosecutors, witnesses and the media tell us that Chauvin "squeezed the life out of" Floyd. The medical evidence establishes that whatever else caused his death, it was NOT asphyxiation.
That's the entire case against Officer Chauvin! But the howling mob isn't giving up its holy religious observance because of one dork in a lab coat. The sun might not rise! The city of Minneapolis could be wiped out! Wait -- that might actually happen.
The medical examiner also found that Floyd had enough fentanyl in his system -- I don't want to say "to kill a horse," because that would be a cliche. But it would be enough to bump off an entire team of Budweiser Clydesdales. In technical medical jargon:
"A. Blood drug and novel psychoactive substances screens:
"1. Fentanyl 11 ng/mL"
That's just the first few words of the "Toxicology" section. Also listed are norfentanyl, 4-ANPP, methamphetamine, cannabinoids, amphetamines, morphine and so on.
But the 11 nanograms per milliliter of fentanyl is rather important, inasmuch as the chief medical examiner called this "a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances," saying, "deaths have been certified with levels of 3."
Three. But George Floyd went up to 11.
Naturally, Baker was quick to add, "I am not saying this killed him." Please don't throw me to the woke gods! Leave me to my test tubes! (And you thought lawyers were craven.)
Derek Chauvin, Human Sacrifice
Is that the same medical report where they specifically classify this death as a homicide?
I noticed you left that out.
And you left out the fact that coroner said if they found this guy by himself it would have been classified as a drug over dose....
Everything about this is political....they already had the city burn down once over floyd.......no way they were going to blanket absolve the cops......they want the jury to get the blame when they find him not guilty...
