Get ready for disappointment, Reno.
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.
All death is ultimately cardiopulmonary arrest. The cop had a knee on his neck for 5 minutes after he stopped moving/talking and after he lost urinary continence. A reasonable person would have checked on his physical condition long before that. I also understand cpr was not started until the ambulance arrived. Sorry but the cop is guilty
Ah, now I get it, the cop was kneeling on a handcuffed sleeping black guy, that he may have known from their shared part-time work, and he just inconveniently died in his sleep. Heck, maybe we reward the cop for being there in his last moments? /s
Strictly speaking as an expert witness your arguments 3 5 and 6
Are easily defeated
