“””””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 Examiner’s 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-
I know. He was intoxicated and violent when arrested. But the cause of death, whether the primary was asphyxiation or cardiac arrest, was caused by law enforcement restraint. That’s what the trial will be about. Now having two autopsies agreeing on homicide, I doubt the jury will be hearing much speculation that he coincidentally died of a heart attack or drug overdose, not caused by police restraint.
