I feel like an idiot but I'm confused too, would 98% oxygen saturation from the testing mean that was the concentration at the time of his heart arresting on the sidewalk or could they have raised it with CPR?
With the point about the carbon monoxide fooling an oximeter into passing as oxygen I don't understand why he was allowed to rebut the CO claims by repeatedly bring up the test results submitted this morning that the judge explicitly said he would mistrial over
Is this all just the visible part of some convoluted behind the scenes fuckery?

I have a feeling that Nelson brought Dr. Fowler as an expert witness to testify on the possibility of CO being a factor just so they can get the prosecution to call back Dr. Tobin and admit there was 98% Oxygen saturation in Floyd's blood. Which would negate the narrative that Chauvin died due to asphyxia, right?

If so, and if this leads to a verdict of not guilty, this was masterful work on the part of Nelson.

You can't have been asphyxiated if your blood is chock full of Oxygen. According to the State, Floyd was alive with O2 rich blood when he was wheeled into the hospital. What are they saying, Chauvin knows a variant of the Five Paces Exploding Heart Palm technique? The Ten Minute Constricting Lung Knee Press?

For real, I've got a feeling that this was a trap that Nelson (maybe unwittingly) set up, but prosecution jumped into head first. They didn't testify he had 98% blood saturation after minutes of supersaturating his blood in the ambulance with pure oxygen and minutes of failed resuscitation attempts.

No, they just simply have the persecution's star witness, under oath, testify that Floyd's blood saturation was 98% without any context to frame it. So Nelson can literally go, "Look, they're trying to say that Floyd died because he was asphyxiated. But their lead medical witness testified himself that the blood was completely saturated with oxygen. 98%, you heard him say that. How could he die from a lack of oxygen when his blood was saturated with oxygen?" If he does this in his closing arguments, the prosecution can do NOTHING about it.

I wouldn't take anything Reddit says seriously when it comes to race relations. Most of these fat chunky white dudes never interact with black people and the majority of them are obese shut-ins who think women online are impressed when you post about how not racist you are.
Fucking /pol/ is more racially diverse than Reddit. That's not a joke, it's a fact.
 
I
Isnt hiding ("we didnt share it because you didnt ask even though you asked for everything") the blood oxygen levels in a case where you're arguing someone was STRANGLED to death and couldn't breathe like... actually illegal?
its not illegal, it puts the defense in a weak position but its up to the lawyer to figure it out and object.

if chauvin gets off, it speaks to nelson's ability as a lawyer, especiallt since the state hired 15 private attourneys to prosecute its case.
 
Yeah, that's gunna make it real fucking hard for the prosecution to say that Chauvin definitely killed Floyd by choking him to death. Kinda looking forward to the closing, I would hope that Nelson would really harp on this point. The prosecution, trying to mislead the jury, just really shot themselves in the foot.
