One guess as to how the Chauvin-Floyd trial might end
By Tim Jones
The following are some basic facts established during the three-week trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. Both sides have rested their cases, and Chauvin's defense lawyer, Eric Nelson, is preparing his closing argument for Monday.
George Floyd said many times before he was put on the ground that he couldn't breathe. It was also established that Chauvin's knee was not on Floyd's throat, so that couldn't have asphyxiated him. Some of the time Chauvin was restraining Floyd, it was established that Chauvin actually had his knee on Floyd's shoulder blade, where not all of his weight was on Floyd. Rather, he shifted his weight around at times from his knee to his lower leg and foot. Also, it was established that Chauvin's knee restraint could not have stopped the blood flow in one of Floyd's carotid arteries, and even if he did, blood would have continued flowing to the brain through the carotid artery on the other side of the neck.
He had severe arteriosclerosis, AKA major artery blockage, that most likely triggered the heart attack that killed him from the methamphetamines, a hyper-stimulant, he had taken and the exertion of resisting arrest. And he had three times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system. Opioid overdose depresses the respiratory system, which would explain why he kept saying he couldn't breathe.
