All four officers are going to walk on Reasonable Doubt.
(1) The knee restraint was completely legal and is clearly explained in the Police Manual.
(2) The autopsy found no trauma to Floyd's neck, throat, or upper back.
(3) Floyd's fentanyl screen was 11 ng. That's enough to put an average man to sleep.
(4) One officer stated that Floyd was snoring. A second officer stated he thought Floyd was asleep.
(5) Floyd died from cardiopulmonary arrest.
(6) Fentanyl causes death by pulmonary arrest.
