These oxygen calculations are all very hypothetical. Do we have any concrete oximetric data from the ambulance? If we do, and those measurement are consistent with with the times we are being given for George hitting 0 oxygen, he may have a point. But, they haven't given us that evidence yet, which means it either doesn't match or it wasn't taken.
I did all the math and measurements myself. They like to talk about me being a career felon, but less about being a genius mathematician and physiologist. Did you know bananas are a fantastic source of nutrition to support heart health?
 
As far as I can tell, they used half Chavuin's body weight (and a lot extra) and based pressure/oxygen/etc off that, which is fair because drawing. Even then, this would only account for a maximum and not any shifting of balance, nor the possibility that Chauvin didn't have his knee on the neck "90% of the time".
I'm not a lawyer but I think it goes to what is considered reasonable in a given set of circumstances.

In the normal course of events a 5 ft9 140lb man putting his knee on the shoulder or even the back of the neck of a healthy 230lb 6ft4 man could not possibly cause asphyxiation or even respiratory depression. The problem of course is that George was not healthy, he had a heart that was ready to explode, was Covid positive and, oh yeah, was ODing on Fentanyl.

So they're facing a quandary. If they bring up the contributing factors it obviously introduces reasonable doubt as to causation so they're going with this nonsense instead.

First things first, big fan my dude.

Second thing, I heard you were heading in to be a witness for the defense. You gonna be okay dude? They do drug tests before.

Chris Rock's advice on this is literally the single best piece of advice that could possibly be given to any person of any race who fears police brutality. Only one part of this is dated. That's the "get a white friend" part. You should probably actually get a black friend because they'll be afraid the entire city gets burned down if anything happens to that nappy headed fucker.

If I had to make a completely wild ass guess it would be that the pressure from this hold would have been mostly on the C6-7 vertebrae, i.e. somewhere that would make it more or less impossible to move, hence the entire point of the hold.

I'm really looking forward to the expert testimony on that specific issue, though. You can't really just look at it and say for certain.

Here's a picture, you can make your own guess. I'm pretty sure the general aim of this hold is to restrain someone by immobilizing the part of the spine between the cervical and thoracic vertebrae. You can definitely see the hold isn't on the top part of the cervical vertebrae. That kind of shit would risk turning someone into a quadriplegic.

a week of crying over how the case was rigged for chauvin and the prosecution was throwing the case
jeremy corbyn gives a good testimony and the 180 begins:

In all fairness, this is the first time I've seen the prosecution with a competent foot forward. I'm wondering if this is their last guy and they saved the best for last.
