Guilty on all three counts.

New documents released by the Minnesota Judicial Branch on Tuesday show that George Floyd, who died while in police custody in May, had a potentially “fatal level” of fentanyl in his system at the time of death.
According to Dr. Andrew Baker, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner conducting the autopsy who did not watch videos until after his investigation, Floyd had such a high level of fentanyl in his system that if he was found dead at home, it would “be acceptable to call an O.D.”
While Dr. Baker clarified that he’s “not saying [Fentanyl killed” Floyd, he acknowledged that it may have played a larger role in Floyd’s death than first suspected.
Dr. Baker also noted that hypertension in Floyd’s heart could cause death “quicker because it needs more oxygen” and that “certain intoxicants(Read as fentanyl causing excited delirium) can exacerbate” Floyd’s previous condition.
A memorandum from the Hennepin County Attorney’s office also noted that “is fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances” and concluded that “the autopsy [by Dr. Baker] revealed no physical evidence suggesting that Mr. Floyd died of asphyxiation.”
“Mr. Floyd did not exhibit signs of petechiae, damage to his airways or thyroid, brain bleeding, bone injuries, or internal bruising,” it reads.
As an interesting thought exercise about what was the biggest potential driver in his death...Would you rather be subdued across your upper back in prone position by a 140lb man for 9 minutes or be subjected to 3 times a typically fatal amount of fentanyl in your system?

The statement above is the cause of death, but there were contributing factors. The testimony was about the hypopharynx being constricted due to a lack of lung volume and air flow. Not a medical doctor or even a biology student, but I learned during the trial that the hypopharynx (I cannot even say the word) is above the trachea and is soft tissue. I also learned that the ability to speak is not evidence of sufficient air flow to live.
just found this thread.
two sides to this.
I think Murder was unwarranted but i wasnt on the jury panel.
dipshit cop did not need to sit on his neck for 8 minutes. he knew this wasnt going to end well if something happens. he obviously didnt care. police cannot act recklessly.
on the other hand, Derek never had a chance. we saw last summer how bad this situation became. We had all kinds of idiots rioting out here. dipshits were already rioting over a week before his conviction, then Maxine Waters ( fraud bitch who needs to be put in prison) ran her mouth, agitating "protestors" basically telling the jury, if you dont convict him, were gonna burn the city down.
the jury was tainted from day one. this is the same shit with the OJ trial. if they found OJ guilty, there would have been hell to pay.

Hi,
Just a quote from a news article about Chauvin. Will need more info, but just saying.
Cheers,
Ron
The U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) is mulling whether to charge now-convicted former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in connection with a 2017 incident in which he allegedly violently handled a 14-year-old boy and used his knee to hold the teenager down for almost 17 minutes, according to a report.

Chauvin was in the wrong on that day and he will indeed pay the price. I just keep thinking to myself that he took it upon himself on that day to be the person to take out a threat, although no longer a threat to him specifically, but a threat to society as a whole. This act of vigilantism cannot go unpunished in America, but may have been decided by Chauvin as a choice he could live with.
Bottom line is that cops are not targeting black people regardless of what Princess LeBron James says. Way more white people, armed and unarmed, are killed by cops. Almost all the time because the person is an idiot and resists arrest or fights the cops. A group that makes up only 13% of the population but commits over 50% of violent crimes is bound to have more interactions with police. These interactions will continue to go south especially since our culture, media, and politicians no longer respect police. I really feel for our law enforcement. Toughest job in America and it will only get worse.

He has nothing of substance to appeal on. Perhaps he can argue ineffective counsel (his defense attorney was shockingly bad at times).
What in the world would he even allege that would result in a successful appeal?
Your last sentence is absurd, though. Of course this would have gone to trial. Had there not been video, though, I doubt it would have.
