I previously wrote that the key to conviction in the Derek Chauvin trial (and avoiding a cascading failure in all four cases) is the autopsy findings and the role of drugs (including fentanyl) in the body of George Floyd. Prosecutors are now asking the jury to effectively dismiss the findings of the only official autopsy in the case and insist, contrary to those findings, that Floyd died from asphyxia, or, lack of oxygen. Some new disclosures may make that claim more difficult for the prosecution.
Last week, special prosecutor Jerry Blackwell admitted to jurors that Hennepin County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker pointed to cardiac arrest as Floyd’s cause of death. However, he insisted that the state would prove that “was … not a fatal heart event,” but asphyxiation.
It is a bold move since it could invite reasonable doubt on the cause of death. The question is whether a case of manslaughter could have been advanced without the need of opposing the state’s own coroner on such findings. The failure of Chauvin to respond to a medical emergency speaks more to manslaughter than murder but it could be framed consistently with these findings. Instead, the prosecution has asked the jury to effectively reject the coroner’s findings — a risky maneuver.
We have previously discussed key defense elements in the case:

“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, please disregard the evidence and follow your emotions and the hysterical media!”
Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.
Why even have a jury?
Just tell the Jury that they are going to be killed by rampaging BLM “peaceful protest” if they don’t convict Chauvin and wrap up this sham of a trial.
Speaking of Government Approved Scapegoat Defendants,
I have not heard anything from George Zimmerman in a very long time. This, after him popping up in the news for petty offenses after the trial. I hope he has finally carved out a decent lifestyle for himself. I never thought he’d still even be alive by now.
OK. So he’s not dead. Case dismissed.
That’s the truth of it. And get your last dollar the jury will be hunted down and their lives destroyed if they don’t decide the “right” thing.
The issue is never the issue. The revolution is always the issue.
LMAO
I imagine the prosecution is thinking the same.
Why are they bothering with a trial? Just drag him out of the jail and proceed with the lynching.
[“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, please disregard the evidence and follow your emotions and the hysterical media!”]
yep
libtard prosecutors: facts don’t matter, vote the way we want you to/do what we tell you to do
libtards of all stripes: facts dont matter, vote the way we want you to/dow what we tell you to do
How can that not be a mistrial?
-PJ
Maybe a couple of jurors houses accidentally burn to the ground would distract them from thinking about that old autopsy report.
The only question in the minds of the jurors will be:
“Will the riots be worse if we convict, or
will the riots be worse if we acquit?”
Guilt or innocence or the possibility of lesser charges are of no consideration in “racism” trial situations.
BTW, has the defense shouted the evidence that the Minneapolis Police Department trained its officers to use the neck restraint that led to George Floyd’s killing?

Turley has it wrong. The autopsy report DID mention asphyxia, but specifically dud NOT attribute it to strangulation.
Asphyxia is how overdoses of fentanyl (and all opioids) kill you, by suppressing the breathing reflex.
Dismiss Autopsy - So hes not dead
LMAO - Great education, where did you go to school.
