I thought it was proven he died of an overdose?
Chauvin needs a new trial and a new defense attorney.
Plea deals have nothing to do with the facts of the case.
That's what the coroner's report said
But America instead insisted on having a show trial.
The truth does not matter. This was a show trial.
Yes, same way it was "proven" here that Heather Heyer died of a heart attack.
Floyd died of an overdose the precise moment he had Chauvin's knee on his neck, and Heyer just happened to drop dead of an unrelated heart attack when Fields plowed his car into the crowd. My what bad luck.
“I thought it was proven he died of an overdose?”
On the internet perhaps. In the autopsy the COD was “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.”
I think what really did it for Chauvin was the approximately four minutes he had his weight on Floyd’s neck >>> after Floyd died <<<
Tough to argue he gave a damn when he couldn’t bother to check to see if the man was still alive and didn’t notice that he wasn’t moving.
That was a Facebook post that claimed he died of an overdose. As per the coroner he did not.
George Floyd’s heart disease and use of fentanyl were contributing factors to his death, but they were not the direct cause Hennepin County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker ruled Floyd’s death s homicide and identified the cause as “cardiopulmonary arrest” that occurred during “law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression” — thatswhat he testified in court.
Asked about the autopsy and Floyd’s death certificate, Baker described the “top line of the cause of death” as “what you think is the most important thing that precipitated the death.”
“Other things that you think played a role in the death but were not direct causes get relegated to what’s known as the ‘other significant conditions’ part of the death certificate,” he said. “For example, you know, Mr. Floyd’s use of fentanyl did not cause the subdual or neck restraint. His heart disease did not cause the subdual or the neck restraint.”
Floyd had hypertensive heart disease, Baker said, “meaning his heart weighed more than it should.” This meant Floyd’s heart needed more oxygen than a normal heart and was “limited in its ability” to provide more oxygen when there was a demand for it.
In the midst of an altercation and being held to the ground, adrenaline would pour into the body, Baker said, making the heart beat faster.
“In my opinion, the law enforcement subdual, restraint and the neck compression was just more than Mr. Floyd could take by virtue of those heart conditions,” he said.
