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.

The updated report states that on May 25, George Floyd experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained by a law enforcement officer(s).
The new Medical Examiners report also notes other significant conditions such as arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease; fentanyl intoxication; and recent methamphetamine use.

Again- Asphyxiation claim vs no asphyxiation claim will play a huge role in intent or no intent- The new report points out other conditions that could have either contributed, or been responsible for the death- it is important to know whether the knee caused asphyxiation or not- heart problems, and opioid use- especially when mixed drugs are used, often lead to heart attack, which woudl lead to brain death too-
baden is claiming the cop asphyxiated him- the first report does not claim that-
