A lotta talk about just what Floyd died of. He had been doing fentanyl. Had a history of heart problems. The Chauvin defense is claiming that one or more of these killed Floyd. And Chauvin's putting his boot to Floyd's neck, while Floyd was handcuffed, flat on the ground, underneath a police cruiser, had nothing to do with it. I think that treatment would terrify me, or any other sentient being. And terror makes the adrenaline come quicker, the heart beat faster. Could have aggravated any one of those other conditions to the point of death.
Another way of looking at the case. If someone dies when your client has his boot on the victim's throat, your client is guilty of killing the victim. Lawyers can pull down billable hours quibbling over whether it was man slaughter, or some brand of murder up to murder 1, but the plain fact is, Chauvin killed Floyd.
