“But medical experts hired by the defense are expected to testify it was the meth that killed him.”
So, if he had not encountered the cops, he would have just dropped dead on his walk home with the box of donuts? Yah. That’s plausible.
This is not the Floyd case. Floyd was seriously drugged up and trying to pass fake money. This guy was just walking home. What was the “reasonable suspicion”?
“Police claimed Ellis had tried to open the door of another vehicle at the intersection, struck the window of their cruiser and swung his fists at them.”
The jury will decide who is most credible.
I don’t know what to believe about this case. He had a history with the police. Six months before he died, he was arrested for robbing a restaurant, running around naked, and charging an officer. That video is right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0bv696-d2Y
But, is there a full video of the night he died in police custody? I can’t find one.
