I admit to not watching the George Floyd trial because I have been too anxious about the verdict

[kpete]

then I saw THIS and it seems to me that justice MUST prevail.

“The toe of his boot is no longer touching the ground, this means that all of his body weight is being directed down at Mr. Floyd’s neck,” testified Dr. Tobin. This visual presented during court says a lot.

1. 😢

This monster needs to be in jail.

2. If you'd watched the testimony of the prosecution's expert witness,

Dr. Tobin, this morning, you'd have stopped worrying.

5. Way to early to predict! Nt

6. I know, but this witness will be very difficult for the defense to contradict at all.

3. The testimony today was devastating, my kids started looking and I turned the channel but then

... turned back saying because the doc was talking about O2 levels etc

4. Too traumatic to me to hear or watch and I can do nothing to change or add to the verdict

8. Same here...

I try to catch a few minutes and that's all I can take. Now if it were a Congressional Hearing or debate, I can watch that all day for a week or two before I have had enough.

9. I am avoiding seeing any of it,,,, it stresses me out too much and makes me weepy,,,,,

I just want to see all 4 of those ex-police officers held accountable for that murder.

7. Chauvin will not be acquitted. It's possible one holdout hangs jury, but prosecutors will keep

trying. This one ain't even close. Chauvin was crushing an incapacitated, handcuffed man for at least 8 minutes and 36 seconds too long. Maybe he gets the lesser charge of manslaughter, but that will put him away for a long time.

10. the MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) bystander, Mr. Williams pointed this out also

he noticed how Chauvin was moving his foot. That guy made some great observations for a bystander. He knew Chauvin was shifting his weight.

11. Dr. Tobin is a fabulous teacher.

I could listen to him talk all day. Partly due to his accent, but also his communication skills are great. He is explaining very technical information in terms a lay person can understand. I think how fortunate his students must be to train with this man.

I do have to take breaks because it is stressful thinking about how Mr. Floyd died. That is horrifying and I’m sure the jury is not enjoying this. I feel for them having to sit there hour after hour listening to the horror of how Mr. Floyd was killed.

The defense attorney is attempting to put words in Dr. Tobin’s mouth but he isn’t having it. If he disagrees, he says so without hesitation. Dr. Tobin will not be pressured into agreeing to things he has not said.

12. I don't think he get's acquitted by there is chance it ends in a hung jury

Here in Ohio there was a case a few years ago of a University of Cincinnati police officer who pulled over a black man for no front license plate. The stop escalated when they tried to arrest the driver and the police officer shot and killed him. The officer was charged murder and voluntary manslaughter. They tried him twice and both times it ended in a hung jury. They didn't try him a third time.

13. I was nervous as well, until Dr. Tobin's testimony today...

...Unless it comes down to jury nullification, I don't see how Chauvin walks.
