How can Floyd have died of lack of oxygen like the pulmonologist said in round 1 if he had an oxygen saturation of 98% at the time he died like the same guy said in round 2? Maybe I just don't understand, but that seems significant to me.


Exactly my question too.

My next question is how high can CPR make your O2 saturation go up especially since GF had no pulse for an extended period of time.

---

First of all, the pulmonologist was full of shite. Your first clue was when he calculated lung volume based on watching a video. Secondly, there is no way GF had a 98% sat and no pulse. From my experience, ABG draws from a patient that has coded, are extremely hard to procure from a wrist, since you cannot feel a non-existent pulse to know where to stick. Unless things have changed, the only person qualified to do a femoral artery draw, is a doctor. If GF had no pulse for several minutes (no pulse before EMS arrived, no chest compressions or ventilation until loaded into the ambulance) that would have to be the most effective CPR ever done in the history of medicine to achieve a 98% sat from an ABG.

I'm calling shenanigans. If that number is true, then he had a pulse. Someone fricked up, either way.

He said he supports Black Lives Matter as a general concept but disagrees with some of the ways group members go about things. He has an unfavorable opinion of Blue Lives Matter. He wrote in his questionnaire that he heard Floyd was on hard drugs, but said he doesn’t believe it should have much impact on the case. “Whether you are under the influence of drugs doesn’t determine whether you should be living or dead,” he said.


So he is voting guilty on all accounts.

That's not set in stone from his answers. First of all, it sounds like that person is objective. Of course we all believe black lives matter. An objective person can say that and disagree with burning down cities. Of course being on drugs shouldn't be punishable by death. An objective person can see that this person wasn't executed by the police because he was on drugs, and there is more to it.

Secondly, all of those answers lead me to believe that he said everything he could to get on that jury.

You still have to go through all charges and get jurors to come to a unanimous decision.

I’ve been on a few juries and the first thing we did when we got in the deliberation room was take a vote to see how far apart everyone was. This was over 12 years ago, back then you didn’t need an unanimous jury.

You know the defense chooses the jurors, right? You keep focusing on their racial and gender makeup saying they weren't favorable to Chauvin, BUT THE DEFENSE SELECTED THEM

Wut???

Yeah I didnt want to bust his bubble on that...I just responded to his other ridiculous statements....I got a warning to chill out I didnt want to be argumentative....I was hoping someone else caught that

I havent been following this at all, but I have read in this thread where Chauvin's knee was not actually on his neck, can someone link that for me? Is there another video or something?
