This M.E. examination is one of the spaghetti/wallest things I've ever seen.

[nolabear]

First, he’s in trouble over another case already. And why did they go to him? Maryland?

Heart enlargement? Carbon Monoxide? Lying on his stomach? What the actual fuck?

I can’t wait for the cross.

[Treefrog]

1. I'm only catching bits and pieces, but I can't stand this supercilious piece of shit.

[nolabear]

2. Utter worthless spec on my part

but he looks like a drinker to me.

But this is the craziest stretch in all directions I’ve seen in a long time.

[Treefrog]

4. I just can't listen to him or the stupid lawyer.

I’ll keep checking in here to see when the prosecution gets a shot at him.

[cyndensco]

6. I'm with you.

It is so hard listening to these experts justify murder.

[dawg day]

3. And why was he lying on his stomach in carbon mon?

Oh, right. Because a cop was kneeling on him and refused to let him move.

[FeelingBlue]

5. He's making me so uncomfortable.

He sounds like a white South African. Is he? I haven’t found his is a name yet. Did they really find a graduate of Apartheid to testify for the defense? That’s what I want to know.


Oh, my goodness! I just found his bio. He IS from South Africa. If you know anyone from South Africa, you’ll KNOW that race plays a part in every discussion of every person. This is one of those moments that you can’t just make up! Chauvin’s defense chose a White South African to explain how Chauvin couldn’t have killed Floyd.

This is unthinkable. But, here we are.

[nolabear]

7. Holy crap. I don't suppose anyone has mentioned this?

Not to mention he’s being sued for his role in covering up the death of Anton Black while in custody.

They should tear him apart.

[FeelingBlue]

9. I hope it's ok.

I just posted this separately in order to draw attention to this man’s history. I know many South Africans and I can tell you that race is very much on part of every discussion about people. They even differentiate between English-speaking and Afrikaans-speaking white South Africans in terms of culture and identity. Colored people, Black people, Jews, you name it. You WILL hear this language in typical conversations with South Africans. It’s part of them.

8. Even playing devil's advocate, if the car exhaust actually did play a role...

...wouldn't that still be evidence of either depraved indifference or gross recklessness that would support at the least manslaughter or second degree murder? Keeping a restrained suspect right underneath a running vehicle would appear to be against all protocols if you ask me?

[nolabear]

10. That would be my thought. Putting him in danger with wanton disregard.
