They're so mad and actively furious that the defense is even doing its job, they think they should just give up. They think this is CSI Miami or some shit.
SJWs literally don't believe anyone they hate deserves a fair trial. So anyone actually representing a client is a Nazi. This is why we ultimately need to fight back against these scum.
 
Honestly, probably a miscommunication on his part, cause the ambulance crew can't legally pronounce him dead. Though, in terms of the defense it's literally all he needs to point to and say, "Even the coroner doing the autopsy noted he was alive on the ambulance ride back to the hospital. How could my clients knee have killed him if he still made it to the hospital?"
To play devil's advocate, an action that causes death directly but not immediately is still killing. For example, if I shoot you, you don't die immediately, you get rushed to the hospital, then die in the ER, I still killed you.

Yeah I don't think anyone is disputing that, it just makes the asphyxiation much more questionable.

Exactly, it's mostly just optics at this point and how effective you are at communicating that to the jury. Baker basically damned the prosecution by making that statement.

They're not medical experts and the nuance of the cross examination will be lost when Nelson presents his case, or during deliberations.

EDIT: Prosecution would likely shoot that down in their redirect, so maybe not. Time will tell.

Fair, but from their own testimony, no noticable damage was actually done to the brain and he was getting cpr almost immediately when the ambulance arrived. At that point if he doesn't survive due to his own body not allowing oxygen to effectively distribute through the body, it's out of his hands.

I mean, unless he kept his knee on his neck even in the ambulance ride, then that'd just be hilariously cruel.
 
What a silly goose. I am sure Minnesotan business owners are having a good chuckle.

I heard Chauvin duct taped his knee to Floyd's neck and rode him all the way to the autopsy table. They had to beg him not to show up at the funeral and kneel on the casket.
