Derek Chauvin Files State Appeal to Overturn Conviction
American Thinker ^ | 18 Dec, 2024 | John Dale Dunn, M.D.

Posted on 12/18/2024 4:01:35 AM PST by MtnClimber

espite his obvious innocence, it’s a race against time, as the prosecutors seem determined to ensure that he is murdered in prison.

Conservatives do not doubt that Derek Chauvin was railroaded, a sacrifice at the BLM altar. However, his martyrdom—which almost ended with his death in prison—may finally end. Chauvin has appealed the judgment against him, and, in an excellent turn of events, he’s just been granted an order by Federal Judge Magnuson to be given blood for testing and heart tissue for examination from George Floyd’s autopsy. The blood tests and tissue examinations may help establish Floyd’s actual cause of death. But of course, the appeal is about much more than a single piece of evidence.

As a reminder of the events surrounding George Floyd’s death and the abuse prosecution that followed, Alpha News, a conservative internet news agency in deep blue Minneapolis, created two excellent films to show the basis for their condemnation, The Fall of Minneapolis and Minnesota v We the People.

I’ve written frequently about the fact that both the medical examiner and the prosecutor were wrong in their contentions about George Floyd’s cause of death. (See, e.g., here and here.) I have even done a video demonstration to show that there is no way that Chauvin’s way of restraining Floyd could have killed him and gone on the record stating that Chauvin is innocent of wrongdoing.

Based on my medical experience, the available autopsy information, and an experiment replicating the last minutes of Floyd’s life, I’ve asserted since the beginning that the reasonable cause of Floyd’s death was sudden death from cardiac arrest brought on by excitement, agitation, exertion, and severe heart disease, all of which were aggravated by intoxication with fentanyl and methamphetamine.

I don’t know why anyone would be a police officer in a blue city.

Unless one wanted to shuffle around and ignore crime, show up late and back 500 feet from anything serious, work 20 and retire with a generous pension. Blue cities are filling their police ranks with affirmative hires doing just that.

Awhile back I watched a YouTube video of some guy on a New York City sidewalk talking to two young NYPD cops.

The conversation was polite. But both of the cops sounded like they were mentally challenged. It really surprised me. Perhaps that’s all New York can get to sign up these days.

I don't recall all the details of the medical examiner's report. I do recall that it listed fentanyl and meth having been found in his blood.I also recall that it was noted that there was evidence of heart disease...presumably caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and/or bad genes.

Did the cop's lawyer focus on the autopsy report to any degree? And if so what did he say about it?

I've had one brief encounter encounter with an NYPD cop.I asked him for directions and he gave them to me. No problem at all.

And BTW...I've been to about 25% of the places you list on your profile,including Chicago,Minnesota, Buffalo,Sarasota,Ottawa,Tampa,Boston,Chicopee (yes,my late sister once lived there),Hackensack...and a few others! :-)

Its sad. Petty crime destroys American values. How can someone get up at 6am and get the kids off and get on a bus for 45 minutes to get to an entry level job paying $120/day when the gal next door shoplifts 6 items at Macy’s and fences them and is back in the crib by noon watching Oprah and sipping on something sweet and purple.

The whole trial was a farce. The defense counsel tried to make the argument about the autopsy by the jury was out to lynch him. The case should have been thrown out the moment bodycam footage revealed Chauvin was kneeling on his shoulder blade the entire time, not his neck.

I’m actually surprised there’s not more shoplifting in Democrat cities. Some poor slob is waiting in a check-out line. He’s going to buy something he really needs with his last $20 bill.

And he sees a shoplifter breeze right past him with a cart full of stolen items.

At what point does that poor slob crack, and join the shoplifters?

He is proof that the courts are politically corrupt.

They sacrificed Chauvin to appease the mob.

A year or two ago, there was a video of a ‘lady’ shoplifting an entire grocery cart full of huuuuge slabs of ribs and other meat. She was putting the meat in her car trunk. If I had been an employee, I would have started taking the meat out of the trunk and putting it back in the same cart. Would have made a great video.

Back in the day, they used to let us chase the shoplifters. Myself and a few other grocery store employees were on the track team. My favorite event was the 440 yard race. Even if the shoplifter was immediately faster, after 200 yards, they would slow down considerably, and we would reclaim the merchandise.

Way fun.

George the Stiff had 3 times the fatal dose of Fentanyl in his blood.

I recall from the autopsy report at the time that he had a fatal level of fentanyl in his blood at the time of death. This was obviously ignored at the trial. What good will more such data do?

Before we can have a fact based conversation. Everyone should watch " the fall of minneapolis" on YouTube.

There is a lot the media and FBI hid from the news.

IMHO.. It was a situation the deep state took advantage of to steal the 2020 election. PEOPLE WERE FOCUSED ON THE RIOTS,

It showed Tim waltz is an evil man with an agenda.

It showed the judge was in on it, it showed the jury feared for their lives if chauvin was found innocent.

Had there not been a video of Chauvin on Floyd, I don’t believe he would have been convicted. The image was terrible, I won’t forget how nonchalant Chauvin looked on top of Floyd. People were begging him to stop and he should have, seven minutes is a really long time.
