 Evidence Mounts — Chauvin Did Not Murder Floyd
The strange evolution of the prosecution’s asphyxiation charge.

In his motion for a new trial, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, through his attorney Eric Nelson, made an obvious point. Quoting case law, Nelson reminded the court of “the prosecutor’s inherently unique role in the criminal justice system, which mandates that the prosecutor not act as a zealous advocate for criminal punishment, but as the representative of the people in an effort to seek justice.”

Had the State prosecutors set out to honor this mandate and seek justice, they would not have presented the medical evidence they did. In fact, they would not have charged Derek Chauvin with second-degree murder or charged his colleagues as accomplices.

    Prosecutors knew they had a problem. To make the murder charge stick in the Chauvin case, they had to secure an “asphyxia” diagnosis from a physician.

If justice were the goal, prosecutors would have taken two critical steps to assure that the medical testimony supported the charge of murder. The first was to run a controlled experiment to see if Chauvin’s actions could possibly have resulted in the death of George Floyd. The second was to make the court and the defense aware of the potential compromise of its star medical witness, Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker.

Dr. John Dunn did run such an experiment, and he made a video of the same. Dr. Dunn comes well credentialed. He is a former member and chair of the medico-legal committee for the American College of Emergency Physicians, board certified in legal medicine, and co-author with a pathologist of a chapter on forensics for a text published by the American College of Legal Medicine. He has followed the case from the beginning, studied the videos, and reviewed Floyd’s autopsy report.

Unfortunately, "new evidence" is not generally accepted in an Appeal.

How does he explain away his failure to render aid after Floyd became non-responsive?

I never understood how the jury managed to rationalize away the evidence of the lethal amount of fentanyl in Floyd's system.

He might have been a bit busy with the mob that descended on the cops?

Fix was in.  MN was not going to allow BLM and Antifa to burn down their state.

That may be Chauvin's saving grace here.  The Judge and Jury erred.

No appeals court is going to overturn this verdict.  The left would target them with everything from harassment to murder, and I doubt the Biden DOJ would do anything about it.

Correct.  There is a DeeCee jail packed with political prisoners who had the audacity to protest the rigged election.  Solitary confinement for people accused of non-violent Misdemeanors.

Chauvin is in prison until a future Republican president commutes his sentence.
If there IS a "future Republican president".

I won't go into my usual rant about election integrity and needing to get rid of Ronna.

A future Republican president?  I'd rather see a future CONSERVATIVE President.

If the prosecution was causing Brady Material to be suppressed, there is indeed grounds for a new trial (among other reasons). That Floyd's death had nothing to do with Chauvin restraining him, but was related primarily to a combination of preexisting medical conditions and the combination of drugs in his system is cause for acquittal.
That a change of venue was denied and that jurors were under threat of being terrorized or worse is also cause.
