no they don’t agree- first one said no asphyxiation- a very important key point- baden said asphyxiation- Intent plays a huge part in trials- as does ‘reckless endangerment’ and ‘willful disregard’ or ‘depraved indifference’ to life- or something like that- - IF the prosecution can show intent, then he’s going to do more time than if it’s reduced to something like negligent homicide because the prosecution can’t make a case for willful endangerment

There’s a lot that will be brought out in court- and the two conflicting autopsy results for ‘asphyxia’ will play a part- The prosecution has ot prove willful intent to kill if they want maximum sentence- The claim of No Asphyxia vs ‘Asphyxia’ will be brought out in court-

They agree on homicide. Baden says asphyxiation, the examiner cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdural, restraint, and neck compression. He's charged with 3rd degree murder and manslaughter. I'm not a lawyer, but my guess willful disregard would support a manslaughter charge. Reckless endangerment would support both. If the prosecution feels it can prove willful intent to kill, you'll see the charges upgraded to first or second degree. Though the autopsies claim different cause of death, both rule it a homicide caused by law enforcement restraint, which is the important issue.

“What we found is consistent with what people saw,” Baden said. “There is no other health issue that could cause or contribute to the death. Police have this false impression that if you can talk, you can breathe. That’s not true.” The conclusions of his autopsy said Floyd’s death was caused by asphyxia due to neck compression that led to a lack of blood flow to the brain and back compression that limited his ability to breathe.
