    Three medical experts, including the coroner, testified the cause of death was low blood oxygen substantially caused by the prolonged restraint with the knee on the neck.

    peace to you

    The upshot here is that your posts are attempting to create a false narrative. They present significant ignorance of the situation, the trial, simple legal matters generally, plus all manner of false accusations, blatant bias, red herrings, etc.

    One favorite tidbit was the erroneous statement that the jurors were sequestered. No they were not. The judge plans to order sequestration after closing arguments have been made—Monday. Stay tuned.

    In a third degree murder, that would not matter.

    Minnesota definition:
    609.195 MURDER IN THE THIRD DEGREE.

    (a) Whoever, without intent to effect the death of any person, causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life, is guilty of murder in the third degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years.

    (b) Whoever, without intent to cause death, proximately causes the death of a human being by, directly or indirectly, unlawfully selling, giving away, bartering, delivering, exchanging, distributing, or administering a controlled substance classified in Schedule I or II, is guilty of murder in the third degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years or to payment of a fine of not more than $40,000, or both.

    We don’t know. Had the EMS arrived in time, they could have administered the antidote for fentynal OD.

    Had he not had a criminal past
    Had he not possessed a hand gun
    Had he not passed funny money
    Had he not resisted Arrest
    Had he not taken drugs (3x the fatal dose)
    Had he not......

    I know what some will say - "Thats no excuse to murder someone"

    But those are excellent reasons for LEO to take extra precautions.

    First I heard he had a handgun.

    The police were justified in the stop and arrest. They were justified in restraining an unstable, resisting man.

    They cannot justifying staying on top on a handcuffed suspect for 2:45 seconds knowing he was unconscious, unresponsive and with no discernible pulse.

    peace to you

    I did not say he had a weapon at that indecent - though that was a concern - when they told him to put his hands out the window -
    However, had been involved in a robbery - which includes a weapon - not necessarily a handgun- but very well could be.

    Bottom line - Floyd would have avoided all this had he cleaned up his actions.

    Then why does the autopsy disagree? Ask yourself that question.

    EXACTLY. Ultimately, this was caused by Floyd and nobody else.

    and now - some think the exhaust from the police vehicle may have had an effect on the death.

    Robbery? He passed a phony $20 bill. I don’t think that meets the standard for robbery.

    You don't think passing a phony $20 is a form of theft?

    A medical expert refuted that theory on the witness stand. No evidence of exhaust poisoning.

    peace to you
