Their argument is that he was precluded from rendering aid by the hostile onlookers, continuance of danger to his person.


That's one of several good arguments from the defense. Another is that it's entirely possible that the overdose killed Floyd.

Or that his heart condition killed him because he was all worked up and anxious over going to prison.

Not one freaking person on this board, or in the media, or in the medical examiners' offices can tell you exactly why Floyd died.

Even negligence is a worthless charge if you can't even prove that the negligence actually caused the death. And they cannot prove that BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.


its even more reasonable when you consider they were discussing on the bodycams that they thought he might be high on something like PCP and had just fought all of them and got out of the cop car despite 4 cops wrestling with him, they were afraid of an excited delirium episode. a guy as big as floyd in an episode like that could case severe injuries or even kill someone despite being outnumbered. the point at which this goes bad for the cops is they decided not to send one of them to try and find the hobble so they could have gotten off of him. he would have died there hobbled anyway because his heart failed, but they wouldn't have had the bad optics

I watched the pulmonologist’s testimony live and thought the prosecution went to great links to point that he did not receive any money for his testimony. Nevertheless, I’m glad that experts went to the trouble to state their opinions (also without remuneration) which differed from the witness.
As to the question of a ventricular arrhythmia can be ventricular tachycardia which is a fast beat not necessarily with immediate loss of consciousness. Ventricular fibrillation is a pulse less arrhythmia associated with rapid loss of consciousness. Not sure why the expert witness did not explain that.

Possibly true. Would you say Floyd appeared "healthy and sober" to the naked eye?

There is such strong reasonable doubt it is a joke this even got to trial. Guy died from a medical OD. That simple and anyone being honest with themselves knows this.

Judge Peter Cahill has ruled that Chauvin’s defense will be permitted to introduce some evidence of an arrest of Floyd in May 2019, a year before he died in police custody last Memorial Day. It’s been proffered that Floyd, upon being confronted by police, quickly ingested opiates in his possession. This resulted in his blood pressure soaring, such that paramedics feared he’d have a heart attack or stroke. Consequently, he was taken to the hospital, rather than into police custody.
