Good post. Extra credit for using “effected” correctly. That rarely happens on FR. :-)
Sorry I think it should be affected. Effect is a noun. Affect a verb.
The effect was death.
You’re welcome. The term “effect” as a verb or a noun is used in clinical forensics. Distinguishable in clinical write ups from a physical observation of changes in a person’s outward symptoms (for example: the walking gait of a person) which uses the word “affect”. Example: the clinical “affect” of a facial rictus or paralysis is a subjective view, from which potential diagnosis is made as to causality, including complete blood chemistry, allergies, etc.
In this case, imho, the way the prosecution brought in the lab values (used “comparatively”) in established minimums for fentanyl respiratory suppression-— purposely failed to include the many other drugs this addict had on board, in order to totally blame the police officer for the CAUSE of death. This entire case will fail on appeal because of it. Meanwhile— the Commies continue to keep the tonton Macoute riled up, gearing for the summer riot season of created “victims”. In the Comintern playbook since the 1920’s.
