Nelson gets witness to acknowledge George Floyd said, 'I ate too many drugs'.

edit: the prosecution recalled the witness and got him to reverse the statement: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...jury-George-Floyd-heard-saying-ate-drugs.html

But in a stunning about face, when recalled by the prosecution and played a longer portion of the bodycam footage, Reyerson said that he now believed Floyd to be saying, 'I aint doing no drugs.'

Personal opinion: I think that regarding this partciular clip that the damage is done as far as the jury is concerned. They have now heard him state he heard both versions of this sentence. This plays into the defenses narrative that it is difficult for officers to make split second decisions.

Seems like the defense has several angles here just based on state witness testimony
1) The gathering of the angry crowd is what lead to Floyd's death by making the scene too unsafe to render aid
2) Obvious overdose emphasized by mountains of evidence and state witness testimony which the doctors and paramedics didn't even check for
3) Properly following protocol with a violently resistant suspect
4) Knee on back
5) Chauvin was arrested and charged before evidence was even sufficiently collected
6) Autopsy results showing no damage

Meanwhile on the prosecution side
1) knee on neck lol
2) H-he didn't do CPR in the middle of a peaceful crowd (they was just takin videos)
3) Eyewitnesses crying

I notice prosecution hasn't busted out that crowd shot in a little while...

I know that Chauvin is probably getting convicted, but this seems so flimsy from the get-go on Minnesota's side. The biggest takeaway here though is that the fat EMT shrilly screeching "BITCH" and the ghetto Kang of Fighters threatening Chauvin are what killed Floyd. They should be on trial here. Give Morries Hall immunity and put this obese murderer and her boyfriend behind bars.

It's not really an issue of throwing the case. The problem is that the facts do not cut in favor of the prosecution and there's really nothing the prosecutor can do to change that.

Agree that the facts aren't in the prosecutions favor but there's still a degree of incompetence on display so far.

Nelson is so far having no difficulty getting the answers he wants form witnesses they invited in and had time to prep on how to respond to certain questions. He could treat some of these witnesses as hostile and force less evasive answer in regards to some of the questions, but so far He hasn't really had to. I don't remember if Kween "I don't believe that" was treated as hostile, but that whole line of questioning was a possibility that the prosecution should have gone over with Her in detail before trail.

At this point I still expect a hung jury to be the inevitable outcome, but if by some miracle a not guilty verdict is reached it won't be as much Nelson having won it as much the prosecution losing it. I don't know if that assessment will change by the end of the trial.

Stream that I am watching is asking, "Is the prosecution hitting too hard on the knee to the neck?" If they don't continue the lie about the knee to the neck, then there is literally no murder case. I mean, I think Chauvin literally did nothing wrong, but I'm a so called racist nazi. Even these people, the usual suspects on mainstream media, understand that there is no fucking case. The whole reason were here is because evil white man was on the neck of gentle giant, angel black man, right? Clown world.

Going hard on a witness is often a bad decision unless it's absolutely necessary; usually makes the jury side with the witness, and paints counsel in a bad light. It also diverts attention from the testimony to the attorney, which muddies it up.

Oh so is Anominous going to shut up now? Great! I think anyone who isn’t a lawyer should shut up on legal issues.

Yesterday’s witnesses for the prosecution were great for the defence. Someone linked a blog for a commentary that was along the lines of “self defence dot com” which was an actual lawyer’s commentary. I listened to today’s commentary, and I think he was right.
I hope that address is correct.
