Cops' lawyers make bombshell claims in George Floyd case: Bodycam shows Floyd ingesting fatal amount of drugs before arrest;
he died of overdose Allegations to shake up the case A defense attorney for the fired Minneapolis police officer charged with murder in connection with the death of George Floyd is asking a judge to drop all charges, arguing the 46-year-old man's death was allegedly from a drug overdose and not caused by the officer planting his knee in the back of Floyd's neck. "Put simply, Mr. Floyd could not breathe because he had ingested a lethal dose of fentanyl and, possibly, a speedball. Combined with sickle cell trait, his pre-existing heart conditions, Mr. Floyd's use of fentanyl and methamphetamine most likely killed him," Nelson argued. "Adding fentanyl and methamphetamine to Mr. Floyd's existing health issues was tantamount to lighting a fuse on a bomb." https://abcnews.go.com/US/officer-ch...ry?id=72711824 |

lets wait for an autopsy report on that rather than a Lawyers claim. I mean how can he claim that it was definitely either an OD or an existing condition but no way it could be the knee on his neck......

So would he have been alive if the knee hadn't gone onto his neck?

...he has a murder charge against him, he has a defence and a defence attorney and a line of defence etc...that’s how it works really...what he says isn’t ‘reliable’...

It will be an absolute disaster for black rights movements if it can be proven that he had a fatal dose of drugs in his system. If it comes down to ambiguity (drugs in his system but not a definite fatal dose) then it'll only ignite more fires. |

If I had to guess at an outcome... unless he had zero trace of any drug in his system, the "question mark" will be used to negotiate a guilty plea to a lesser charge. I think he's up on 2nd-degree Murder, may well wriggle it down to Involuntary Manslaughter.
I think more protests will kick off if that happens. |

the autopsy report was already released and made no mention of a drug overdose. Anyway, if he had overdosed, why was the officer kneeling on his neck rather than providing him medical attention. As defenses go, it's pretty flimsy ... it may be enough to get him off of course

Nelson also included Minneapolis Police Department training materials on the proper use of the "Maximal Restraint Technique," in which photos show demonstrations of officers simulating putting their knee on a handcuffed subject's neck.
--- Its how they are trained |

"Whether or not he was intoxicated or had medications in his system is irrelevant to the cause of death, which is homicide, which is death by the hand of another," Floyd family attorney Antonio Romanucci told CNN. "The end result, which is George Floyd's death, would not be any different."

So maybe instead of putting his Knee on someone overdosing for 8mins, he could have tried help?
Oh right. It’s a bollocks excuse anyway.

He did not know he was overdosing
Surely this is apparent? |

On May 29, the country was told that the autopsy of George Floyd “revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxiation,” and that “potential intoxicants” and preexisting cardiovascular disease “likely contributed to his death.” This requires clarification. Importantly, these commonly quoted phrases did not come from a physician, but were taken from a*charging document*that utilized politicized interpretations of medical information. As doctors, we wish to highlight for the public that this framing of the circumstances surrounding Floyd’s death was at best, a misinterpretation, and at worst, a deliberate obfuscation.
