Overdose?

Likely to have swallowed his drugs when he saw the Police turn up?

It's all gone a bit quiet, it does seem like the original narrative we were sold doesn't have much confidence left in itself.

[rusticgal]

The Expert yesterday was amazing...so far there is no substantial evidence to prove the drugs had any effect. However we are only seeing prosecution witnesses so it’s all very incriminating against the defendant...

The expert for the prosecution said even if he hadnt had pressure on his neck..the pressure on his back sandwiching him against the road was enough to put the pressure on his lungs and stop him breathing..along with his hands behind his back.
What seems to have caused confusion is that GF was saying he couldnt breathe when he was in the back of the Squad car...
I think Defense witnesses are in court next week.

to get a guilty verdict on any of the charges requires unanimous agreement of the jury. If the defence have done their work properly, they will have ensured that someone made it on to the jury that won't find him guilty

Derek Chauvin trial judge says 'abhorrent' comments by US congresswoman
Maxine Waters could jeopardise verdict



A California congresswoman's comments about Derek Chauvin's murder trial
could have given the former officer grounds for an appeal, the judge in the
case said.

Judge Peter Cahill called Maxine Waters's comments "abhorrent" as he
exhorted elected officials to stop disrespecting "the rule of law".

Ms Waters joined protesters in the area over the weekend and suggested
they should "get more confrontational" if Mr Chauvin was acquitted.

The 45-year-old faces manslaughter and murder charges after pinning
George Floyd to the ground for more than nine minutes in a fatal arrest last
May.

As the jury began their deliberations on Monday afternoon, the defence mad
a last-minute request for a mistrial based on "intimidating" comments from
Ms Waters.


Defence lawyer Eric Nelson also argued the huge amount of news coverage
over the case meant it would have been impossible for jurors to avoid
consuming some of the press around the trial.


Judge Cahill rejected the motion for a mistrial, but told the defence:
"Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may
result in this whole trial being overturned".

Visibly irritated, he said: "I wish elected officials would stop talking about this
case, especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law... their
failure to do so is abhorrent."

But he added: "I don't think it has prejudiced us with additional material that
would prejudice this jury. They have been told not to watch the news. I trust
they are following those instructions."

Ms Waters, a Democrat, had joined protesters on Saturday outside
the Brooklyn Center Police headquarters, just 10 miles from where Mr Chauvin's trial is taking place.

Ms Waters told the crowd she wanted to see a murder conviction against Mr Chauvin.


When asked what should happen if the ex-officer is not convicted on
murder charges, she replied: "We gotta stay on the street, we've got to get
more active, we've got to get more confrontational, we've got to make sure
that they know that we mean business."

eek, it could be mayhem there shortly then although the quick verdict probably means he is guilty of at least 1 charge

[AnnieK]

Whatever the verdict there is going to be trouble I would imagine

[Tom4784]

He has to be declared guilty, he was literally caught on camera in a 9 minute long video... If he isn't guilty on all counts than there is no justice.
