Did you know that a drug overdose can be considered homicide in Minnesota?



There’s no way the ME ruled that manner of death as homicide. The DA office is free to pursue whatever charges they want regardless of the ME determination. A common example are vehicle crashes. The manner of death is ruled an accident, but a driver may be charged if, for example, they were intoxicated.

its simple with basic medical comprehension.

Cause of death: Cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual,
restraint, and neck compression
Manner of death: Homicide

It reads: his heart and lungs stopped while LEO was subduing, restraining, and compressing his neck.
....as in his neck was being compressed then he stopped breathing.

If floyd had overdosed or had an MI, the COD would have been overdose/MI and manner of death as natural/accidental. this is a major hurdle for the defense as an unbiased autopsy paints the picture of mechanical asphyxiation, not OD/MI.
So where does it say he was asphyxiated?

I was just wondering if she was about to get a phone call forbidding her from wearing her uniform tomorrow.

omg, please let this scenario play out.

Every time you post I envision Eric "Otter" Stratton arguing the Delta's case in front of the Interfraternity Council.

Eric "Otter" Stratton: Point of parliamentary procedure!
Robert Hoover: Don't screw around, they're serious this time!
Eric "Otter" Stratton: Take it easy, I'm pre-law.
Donald "Boon" Schoenstein: I thought you were pre-med.
Eric "Otter" Stratton: What's the difference?

Again it goes back to basic medical documentation comprehension.

It says floyd's death was a homicide (caused by another person), and that he stopped breathing+died while his neck was being compressed... that is asphyxiation. I can't comprehend that for you.

It varies state by state, I know that in some states that they can charge you with a single count, but the defendant can be found guilty of a lesser.


this seems messed up too. i imagine some of the time the prosecution fails to make their case on the initial charge, and the jury doesn't come to a consensus, they tell the judge, and then he informs them they can convict on a lesser charge. then the holdouts, tired of deliberating, give in to pressure and vote to convict.

What do you make of the Medical Examiner's later comments on the record regarding the drugs in Floyd's system at the time of his death?

From the actual autopsy:
quote:

NECK: Layer by layer dissection of the anterior strap muscles of the neck discloses no areas of contusion or hemorrhage within the musculature. The thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone are intact. The larynx is lined by intact mucosa. The thyroid is symmetric and red-brown, without cystic or nodular change. The tongue is free of bite marks, hemorrhage, or other injuries. The cervical spinal column is palpably stable and free of hemorrhage.
But yes, tell me more about he was asphyxiated with no trauma.

Then, after that, we can talk about the ghetto speedball of meth and fentanyl and the up to 90% occlusion of parts of his cardiovascular system. Then we can move on to what happens when a person whose heart is dying overexerts himself, in this case, while fighting against the police.

funny thing about asphyxiation, there isnt anything like this in something like 1/3 cases. you dont have to have a life threatening injury to have air supply cut off

weird that 0/3 coroners noted OD or MI as cause of death.

So "nowhere" would be your answer. Cool. Nowhere does it say he was asphyxiated.

Why is it such a chore to get you to admit that?

Care to cite your source on that?

Equally weird that the one who counts didn't mention asphyxiation as cause of death.
