dude is a failed Hollywood actor he found some easy mark to grift.

533

what about me?

535

That made me sad.

536

Well it was a homicide.

That’s for sure.

Floyd didn’t die on his own.

He was in police custody when he died.

My science teacher happens to have a PhD in Star Formation, not anatomy.

Did you not watch all the body cams? Clear cut: murder.

538

The defense has shown thus far that it was a drug overdose, and they haven’t even mounted their defense yet. That’s all based on the prosecution’s witnesses. Reasonable doubt is the target for the defense.

539

Drug overdose?

He died due to lack of oxygen. That little part came from an expert witness.

Everyone knows it.

You must be watching another trial.

Asphyxiation/hypoxia according to the Dr who testified. Upon cross examination, he confirmed asphyxiation/hypoxia can be caused by both fentanyl and methamphetamine overdose.

You should probably watch the trial and not just the media’s coverage of the prosecution.

Key words can be. What are the chances of it killing him vs 9 minutes under the knee.

Very high, considering it was also observed by the chief under cross examination that Chauvin’s knee was on his back/shoulder blade area.

543

Everyone saw the video.

Knee on neck while handcuffed.

George Floyd is the only human being with his shoulder blades on his neck

You should really pay attention to the testimony from the police chief in the trial.

546

I saw it with my own eyes. Neck not shoulder blades.

Guess we will have to agree to disagree on the subject.

I tend to trust my eyes over words, especially words of defense lawyers that are saying things that don’t make sense to my eyes.

Huh? Which doctor?

Dr. Tobin:

A healthy person subjected to what Mr. Floyd was subjected to would have died.

BLACKWELL: Any evidence then that any fentanyl in his system depressed his breathing in any way whatsoever?
TOBIN: No. And that’s further borne out in the carbon dioxide.

Dr. Smock:

Mr. Floyd died from positional asphyxia.

That is not a fentanyl overdose. That is somebody begging to breathe.

Dr. Isenschmid:

ISENSCHMID: So Mr. Floyd’s ratio is roughly just a little bit below the median ration in DUI. So in postmortem cases we know fentanyl concentrations can be much higher than norfentanyl concentrations because frequently these are deaths due to fentanyl.

Other drugs may be present and there could be other reasons for the death. It doesn’t say these are all fentanyl intoxications. But just looking at it as a whole, large amount of data, this is what we observed.

And we know with the DUI population, they are alive but other drugs may be present as well. So it’s really just to sort of look at how things look differently in the living and postmortem population.

ELDREDGE: And does this slide also show that Mr. Floyd’s ratio was below the average and even below the median for that found in DUI cases?

ISENSCHMID: Yes.

Dr. Thomas

There’s no evidence to suggest he would have died that night except for the interactions with law enforcement.

Dr. Baker

Mr. Floyd’s use of fentanyl did not cause the subdural or neck restraint. His heart disease did not cause the subdural or the neck restraint.

In my opinion, the law enforcement subdual, restraint and the neck compression was just more than Mr. Floyd could take …

Sounds like people should watch the trial, instead of listen to the CEC

But I can see his knee on his neck. You can see his trapezius on the other side of the cop’s knee.
