In some of the most important testimony yet

at the Derek Chauvin trial for the murder of George Floyd
a 30-year Minneapolis police officer, LT Richard Zimmerman
testified that

Chauvin's use of force was "...absolutely unnecessary..."
and
"....uncalled for...." given the circumstances. :smile:
Why is this testimony so critical to the prosecution case?
Here's why
Police LT Richard Zimmerman Testifies that
Force Chauvin used on Floyd "....Absolutely Unnecessary...."

In stark contrast to the medical witnesses heard from the prosecution
Dr. Fowler testified that
the cause of George Floyd’s death was everything but Chauvin. :smile:
But Joy says the entire testimony ‘...imploded...’
once the prosecution picked apart his findings during cross examination. :smile:
Fowler conceded multiple points
including that a lack of bruising and other injuries
do not prove that Floyd did not die of asphyxia
and that the weight of Chauvin's gear was not factored
into his calculation of the force applied to Floyd's neck.

The Defense rested its case yesterday. There was almost a MISTRIAL on the last day!!!

The Prosecution did not disclose a certain blood test to the Defense back in Feb as they were legally bound to do. They only gave it to the Defense at 8am on April 15th.

The Judge was angry at them & advised the Prosecution that he wasn't going to accuse them of 'bad faith' but that they could not refer to this test in any way to the Jury or there would be a mistrial. He said he would not hesitate to declare a mistrial immed if the prosecution broke the rule. Wow, it was extremely tense exchange.

Judge warns of mistrial in Chauvin case if prosecution witness even 'hints' at 'newly discovered evidence'


https://thehill.com/homenews/state-...l-in-chauvin-case-if-prosecution-witness-even



Today (April 16) Judge Cahill will present the Jury instructions.

Monday (April 19th) will be concluding speeches by both the Prosecution and Defense.

The Jury will then be sequestered until they reach a verdict. Judge Cahill told them to bring along a bag as it could take them 10 hours or even 10 days to reach a verdict.

The Testimony was very credible. All the defense need to do is put 'reasonable doubt' into the cause of Floyd's death.

Upon cross-examination of the prosecution witnesses, there were conflicting responses as to what was the real cause of Floyd's death. One expert agreed that the amount of drugs in his system was enough to cause breathing problems. He also had covid, had a 90% blockage in his heart & took an overdose of dangerous drugs in the back of the police car.

That's what trials are for. It is the job of the prosecution to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt. I don't think they did it in this trial. The lone defense lawyer did a very good job as did many of the 14 prosecutors.

It is now up to the Jury to decide the outcome.

But whatever the verdict, the violent mobs are going to riot just like they did last summer. They already started the first day of the trial.
I don't think the Jury will even feel safe rendering an acquittal because the thugs will go to their homes and kill them. :alien:


Defense expert found Floyd's manner of death to be undetermined, not homicide


David Fowler, former chief medical examiner of Maryland, said he believed that Mr. Floyd died from cardiac arrhythmia.



Defense, prosecution both rested their cases
Derek Chauvin chose not to take the stand in his own defense
Jury dismissed, to return Monday for closing arguments
Judge told jury to 'plan for long and hope for short' deliberation
Prosecution called pulmonologist Dr. Martin Tobin as rebuttal witness
Former Maryland chief medical examiner Fowler: 'Mr. Floyd had a sudden cardiac arrhythmia' during restraint
Dr. Fowler testified that drugs, heart disease, carbon monoxide and paraganglioma tumor were contributors

If the jurors fear for their lives, this may end in a hung jury.

I'm guessing a guilty verdict, then a long, drawn-out appeal.

If the verdict is overturned, based on improprieties by the prosecution, they may change the venue for a new trial.

If the jurors fear for their lives,

this may end in a hung jury.
As we watch the witnesses testify
about how
they saw

four police officers,

including Derek Chauvin,

kill George Floyd,

we should keep in mind that
the witnesses experienced extreme trauma themselves.
Several witnesses yelled, screamed, begged and pleaded
with the police to stop killing George Floyd.

Two teenage witnesses testified that they feel guilty
that they didn't
or couldn't
do anything

to stop the murder
that was occurring before their eyes.

Beyond the impact on George Floyd, his family
the witnesses and the Minneapolis community

how does the videotape impact the thinking
of everyday Americans when they are deciding
whether to call the police?
Millions of Americans have now seen that
when the police are called for a minor offense
- passing a fake $20 bill

four armed police officers show up
and intentionally kill the suspect
in broad daylight
in front of several witnesses
one of whom was herself a firefighter
and emergency medical technician.

Might other citizens in need of police assistance
hesitate :smile:
before calling police

after seeing what Chauvin and his fellow offices did to George Floyd?

Chauvin trial
State says defense made a mistatement when discussing intent :smile:
during closing argument

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rik4TMy08Mc


'....Most healthy human beings cannot hold their breath for 2 min.

This man fought for his life
by doing everything possible to breath in limited oxygen

and

he was deprived of that.

This was an execution in brought daylight. Very sad....'

So it's already been decided?
The closing arguments had some interesting twists and turns.
Here's a review of the performance

and some of the best lines of prosecutors
Steve Schleicher
and
Jerry Blackwell
and
some of the problematic arguments of defense attorney Eric Nelson.

And now we wait for justice for George Floyd.

Now that's an interesting development.

She should be banned from all social for inciting violence, like they've done to others.
