DEVASTATING.
He took a slice of the video at the moments of death. He explained second by second what George Floyds body was experiencing. I could not help but watch with my mouth open as I imagined that poor mans suffering and fear as he STRUGGLED to get a breath of air and stay alive.
Chauvin was clearly shown to be a monster.

(13,557 posts)those cars after every time they transport someone in custody, they are out of their minds. They are telling us that those pill fragments could have been from anyone in the back of that car before or since the Floyd murder. Or the cops planted them. They would know to make it fragments rather than a whole pill or several. They would have a harder time explaining how they missed that.

If it was continued in use as a squad car, any subsequent search would be meaningless.

(1,654 posts)The fact that he was just asked to review the evidence but he volunteered to testify for free shows how significant this is. Docs make big bucks testifying as expert witnesses and the old joke is if you pay them enough you can find a doc to testify to anything and many trials have competing expert witnesses. That he is doing this gratis I think is significant to the jurors.
