this is correct

it's just up to the investigators to see if a law was broken



the 4 year old gets into the gun cabinet and somehow ends up shooting the 2 year old

that's also a homicide

He doesn’t need the knee to have cut off air or blood.

The subdual and restraint caused stress that resulted in death. Homicide.

Intentional, negligent, whatever. Still homicide.

if we're being fair, my point was more the knee on the back and overall picture of the subdual restricting chest wall movement.

although I did speak to the hyoid bone would not need to be broken with upper airway compression, and that its possible to compromise the upper airway with anterior or lateral force to the neck. I have posted multiple times ITT that the neck wouldnt even need to be involved for this manner of death.

but I wouldn't expect fair interpretation from you with your record of misquoting testimony about knee on back of the neck compressing the airway, and you conflation of all heart disease when specifically referring to vessel obstruction.

I think that's essentially his conclusion

Police can't be responsible for people being very unhealthy, on drugs, breaking the law, then resisting

I mean, dang...

There are some interesting case types that blur the lines between manners of death.

Russian roulette is a popular one that people are divided on. Most would go with suicide because a reasonable person knows what could happen if they place a gun to their head and pull the trigger.

Someone who develops chest pain during a physical altercation, such as a bar fight, could be argued as a homicide or a natural.

Generally, if a burglar breaks into a home and the elderly homeowner has a heart attack while being startled, it’ll be considered a homicide.

Has the prosecution or their witnesses addressed or explained George Floyd saying he couldn’t breath while sitting in the back seat of the patrol car?

Deaths due to positional restraint induced by law enforcement personnel or to choke holds or other measures to subdue may be classified as Homicide


So it’s not always homicide? Interesting.

The “compression of the hypopharynx” was all the rage yesterday. Wonder why we didn’t hear anything about that today?

Because it was a bogus theory.

Nelson has the ME making his case!

This has been a TERRIBLE week for the prosecution. Nelson has turned a few of these prosecution witnesses into witnesses proving the defense's case.

I'm no trial expert, but the State cannot be pleased with the way this trial has played out this far. I don't think this could have gone much worse for them. It started turning last week when either the MPD chief or the training officer testified to prosecution questioning that individuals are no longer a threat once they've been handcuffed. Nelson nailed him on cross and it's been pretty much a shite show from the State since then.

If there is anyone on that jury who has been truly gone in without bias and open to seeing all the evidence presented AND has the nerve to stand their ground to the bully tactics that is certain to come their way...there's no way to convict DC from what I've witnessed of this trial. No way.

Oh frick you

You argued with me for 10 pages that compression on the lateral aspect of Floyd’s neck by the knee compressed the hypopharynx.

You aren’t fooling anyone

Now it’s the back and chest wall movement? Make up your mind. I thought you were so sure.

Keep reading AMS

you have to keep listening to the doctor

in part it sounded good for the prosecution

but the deeper and further you analyze his conclusions

it's clear he is saying, Floyd died from heart disease using a bad mix of drugs while resisting arrest

AMS is playing 3-D chess and politely attempting to explain it.

No, it’s more that AMS is trying to explain checkers to people thinking it 3-D chess. Very simple. And here is how.

That’s why that defense attorney, give him credit, smartly announced he would be brief and then had the ME sum it up with “Yes. Homicide”. Thank you very much.

He cleverly trump-carded all that work Nelson put in with the ME about other factors.

AMS is complimenting and upvoting himself with an alter he created 4 days ago.

if you look back in the thread you will find me saying just that. I began discussing it because thats what testimony indicated, although I still hold the neck need not be involved in GFs death. I did argue that anterior or lateral pressure could compress a hypopharynx without any fracture. I never said that specifically happened with GF although the knee was applying force to the lateral aspect of the neck and compression would increase the danger.

again I dont expect any type of fair interpretation from you.

That is already the case.

Convictions are rare.

2 Louisiana Correctional officers were were sentenced today to prison and for being “deliberately indifferent to an inmate’s serious medical needs.”

why do you keep using this example? A pillow over her head shows an intent to murder her. There is no other reason to have a pillow over her head that you'd convince a jury.

But a knee on the back/neck of a person thats been resisting arrest clearly has a reason besides an intent to kill.
