Hmmm....
 
Nelson completely failed or refused to address the validity of those numbers and the implications of how relatively not deadly the amount of fent in Floyd's body was. Believe anything you want on this topic personally but it feels like the defense is not going to press that angle as hard as most of us expected. This is not a loss yet but it's pretty big.
 
Today has been a rough day for Nelson. He sounds sick, he seems very agitated. This is a real marathon for him. He did have some very good days leading up to this, and after this week it will be his turn to bring out all of his witnesses.

Does the testimony from the pulmonary doctor make a difference if it is shown that Chauvin was trained on that technique and would reasonably believe that it was safe to maintain, and if it was shown that he did not demonstrate a depraved disregard for Floyd's survival? Sounds like you're still looking at a good chance for potential acquittal even on manslaughter.
 
The problem with talking about the DUI population is that the people sampled weren't necessarily driving a motor vehicle at the time. Someone could have been found passed out behind the wheel of a car and gotten Narcan'd. Assuming that was a functional level is problematic.

On the flip side, when someone OD's, they could have 5,000 times the lethal amount on board, but past a certain point, it doesn't matter. So saying that the average dead person had X amount is kind of a red herring.

And when it's stated that that level of fent was an anaesthetic amount, would that imply that supplemental breathing would be needed, or notsomuch?

His job is to introduce reasonable doubt into the mind of the jurors, not to prove that Chauvin was completely in the right.
 
I can't belive I need to explain this but when an expert witness is telling a jury something for which they are not experts they have to either go with it (because they're the expert) or doubt it (because they don't find the expert credible).

If you can get an expert witness to say something outlandish that the jury has a strong belief is incorrect (even if it is actually true) then everything that witness says will lose credibility and suddenly "just go with it" turns into "I don't think they were right".

I'll be really suspicious if they don't bring it up on their direct, but it could just be they don't want to introduce an issue like this against a particularly strong prosecution witness.

i'm excited to see the salt from people who joined recently if this goes the way of the weeb wars
 
So, fellow nu-tradfag christcuck racists, how are we coping over the first day when the defense clearly got its shit handed to it?
I'm personally going for the "a fucking police officer didn't have to know all this shit and was still taught that restraint technique" route but the dude still left a pretty big dent in the fent overdose theory.
>mildly disagree
>spends the while time trying to dunk (and fail) in the thread.

Sure thing. How goes your dilating?
I can't even tell who's coping who anymore
