I heard a snippet of news yesterday about (I thought) an EMT getting Chauvin..

... off of Floyd. No Google/Youtube searches I've devised give me that info. Did I hear correctly? Can someone point me to more details?

1. The EMT testified that he actually had to tell Chauvin to get off of George Floyd's neck.

There was video of the EMT checking for a pulse and even that didn't trigger Chauvin to move. (I don't remember there being audio - it was his testimony on the stand.)

One would think that the INSTANT the EMTs left that ambulance, Chauvin should have gotten up. Hell, he should have gotten up once he felt that there was absolutely NO movement or resistance coming from Mr. Floyd.

All of this testimony is really damning. I can't imagine what the defense can come up with to mitigate his responsibility.

2. To the rational mind

there can only be one just outcome to this trial. That SOB is guilty as hell.

3. Overwhelmingly

It will be interesting to see what the defense comes up with. This guys cross has been pretty ineffective, IMHO.

I suspect they will have their own medical examiner and MAYBE some character witnesses.
