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

[quote]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.[/quote]
Agreed. Not criminal negligent homicide.
But it could be negligence in rendering aid, for a civil suit. Knowing how...

[quote]I think it is just the awkward wording with all the negatives involved in this sentence, but an uneducated rube like myself might think you were implying that Chauvin has the burden of proving he was not neglectful. Certainly you aren't suggesting any such thing are you?[/quote]

[quote]That's what your obvious bias against Chauvin is based on. [/quote]
I’ve been on Chauvin’s side for the most part, taking the position he is not guilty of anything other than POSSIBLY being guilty of neglect.
You think you might have bias against George Floyd? I do. I hate the mf-er. Ca...

[quote]To me it's also hard to argue neglect given they recognized his health condition and called ems to treat him.[/quote]
This content from the link above goes into that:
“ "If it’s a critical situation, you have to do both” – call for an ambulance and provide first aid such as CPR, which i...

[quote] It's fair but it's complicated by Floyd's repeated resisting of arrest at all times that he wasn't prone.[/quote]
Yes. I just don’t agree that it is indisputable fact that Chauvin was not neglectful and therefore he will not be found guilty of such by any jury unless that jury ignores fac...

[quote]Seeing as how Chauvin didn't show neglect your questions have no bearing on this case. [/quote]
That is an opinion, is it not?
Not saying it is wrong. But the jurors may be of different opinion. They could, COULD, find that the evidence supports a finding of neglect. More than one perso...

Out of curiosity, isn’t the arresting officer responsible for the arrestee’s life once they are handcuffed and in custody?
If the person dies while in custody and the officer showed neglect for human life, that could be a crime, no?
You cannot expect Chauvin to know Floyd had a bad ticker. Bu...

Nearly always the moms are in denial and will often fabricate complete nonsense in attempt to defend their hoodrat kid.

After every round of rioting / looting / violence instead of widespread condemnation it is far more “what can we do to appease you and please you?”.
And the worst part is that the attempt to appease the animals isn’t done out of fear but instead out of “empathy” and white-guilt.

I’m still processing how it is that the horribly oppressed minority group leads all racial groups in being well fed. Too well fed.
83% of black women are obese.
96% are obese or overweight.

Not another life of a Black man taken by law enforcement!
I am so frustrated and angry.
Why won’t law enforcement allow blacks to do crimes, terrorize black communities, and attack members of law enforcement?? They are so evil, the police....
