re: The medical examiner who just testified was devastating to the prosecution

He either choked him with the knee on the neck cutting off blood and/or air or not.

It was more than just the knee to the neck.

quote:

---

He identified four main reasons why Floyd died: the handcuffs and the street acting as a "vise;" Chauvin's left knee on his neck; Floyd's prone position; and Chauvin's right knee on Floyd's back, arm and side. Combined, these limited Floyd's ability to expand his lungs and narrowed his hypopharynx, a part of the throat that air passes through.

This might explain why you didn't die either.

---

Chauvin is going to jail for life, time to admit it

I didn't think any of the charges he's facing carried a life sentence.

Maybe he gets convicted, but it will only be because the jury is woke, not because they're following the law.

Name an argument that can't be made.

The test isn't whether an argument is made, but whether the argument has

So you agree with me then. It would be incorrect for someone to write as the OP did that.

From a medical perspective, it’s virtually impossible to argue that a person without Floyd’s underlying medical conditions would have died in the same circumstance

Bad liars nearly always go too far. That's how you can tell they're lying.

Do you think it's at all reasonable that GF's drug use had no impact on his death?

---

I'm not a pulmonologist. I have absolutely no expertise in that field of study. My assumption prior to hearing from Dr. Tobin was that drug use might matter. Tobin made a very compelling case that it didn't and the defense didn't push back on it. Do you think it's at all reasonable to believe you have more expertise in this area that a veteran pulmonologist?

Ban bet?

I'm in.

Did they highlight the 7 inch height or weight difference?

5'9 150 lb Chauvin (same a Justin Beiber) against someone who was the same height as Gronk or Michael Jordan.

If Justin was kneeling on Jordan's back, Even with Jordan being in his 50s now, and Justin Bieber having those cut abs and a "gangsta disposition".... How long could Justin keep Jordan down?

No. Text is filtering something here.

I'm suggesting that because words are uttered in support of some position, they don't formulate a legitimate argument if they're f'n retarded.

And I'm arguing the quack that testified yesterday and uttered words suggesting that FG's drug use and medical condition played no role in his death was not making a real/legitimate argument.

That's not the question, and I think you know it. That that guy is a pulmonoligist and I'm not doesn't mean his lies are medical expertise and my assumptions aren't reasonable.

Do you believe Doctors are capable of lying?

GF died of a heart attack, and that liar testified that a history of heart disease + all those drugs coursing through his system played no role in him having a fatal heart attack. But a knee between the shoulder blades for nine minutes caused the death, and would cause the same for any healthy person. And you're arguing this is reasonable?

Was Chauvin unaware that there was a medical emergency taking place?

Do you not know what reasonable doubt means? Have two doctors argue is basically the definition of it, especially when one is the medical examiner.

Dr. Andrew Baker

On the whole, Baker said, "To the best of my knowledge he was generally healthy on May 25 before the events of that evening."

Floyd's cause of death in Minneapolis was "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression."

---

Dr. Lindsey Thomas

quote:

---

"In this case, I believe the primary mechanism of death is asphyxia, or low oxygen,""The activities of the law enforcement officers resulted in Mr. Floyd's death, and specifically those activities were the subdual restraint and the neck compression,

---

Dr Bill Smock

quote:

---

Mr Floyd displayed "air hunger", a term for when the body becomes desperate for oxygen. While a fentanyl overdose can slow down breathing, he said people who are overdosing are not aware that they are lacking oxygen and often appear sleepy. In contrast, he said Mr Floyd appeared to be alert.

---

David Isenschmid

quote:

---

while fentanyl was found in Floyd's blood, so was norfentanyl, which is metabolized fentanyl. Overdose victims who die rarely have norfentanyl in their blood

---

Dr. Martin Tobin

quote:

---

Four factors led to Floyd's low oxygen level, his prone position on the street;
the handcuffs that pulled his arms back;
a knee on his neck;
a knee on his back and down his side.
"All of these four forces are ultimately going to result in the low tidal volume, which gives you the shallow breaths" that can't effectively bring oxygen into the lungs,

---

Perhaps your medical expertise leads you to a different conclusion.

quote:

---

Was Chauvin unaware that there was a medical emergency taking place?

Of course, but the problem is that multiple state's witnesses admitted on cross that they are personally aware of combative subjects resuming their aggression after an interlude. The law enforcement training guides also cover this, which was also admitted by the state's witnesses on cross.

The defense has turned virtually all of this around on them with their own witnesses.
