I do not believe the venue of the death of George Floyd is particularly relevant, rather the cause of his death, wherever it occurred, should be dispositive.

Was George Floyd a dead man walking as the autopsy described or was he asphyxiated by the defendant? Will the jury dismiss the autopsy and the expert who testifies on behalf of the defendant on the cause of death or will it believe the evidence of its own eyes and convict on the basis of the video?

Whichever way the jury goes, it must in law find that the defendant caused the death. I believe a rational jury would find a reasonable doubt but it is a fool's game to project one's own perception onto those who sit in the box. Yet, a hung jury takes but one stubborn peer to judge.

I agree the big issue here is causation. From what I’ve seen it’s anything but a slam dunk for the prosecution.
