This expert is a pantload

My mom, God bless her memory, was a successful plaintiff in a medical malpractice case that took well over a million dollars to litigate and settle in 1990s dollars. I watched at least ninety percent of the trial. I would have watched all of it if I was not a witness and not for the Rule of Sequestration. I also read all the depositions of the various witnesses including the experts.

The witness testifying now reminds me of the defendant's expert witnesses.

But for Derek Chauvin putting his knee on George Floyd's neck for seven plus minutes Mr. Floyd would not have died that day. I would ask this witness if George Floyd stayed home that day would he have died. On the proverbial other hand this pantload might say yes.

You cannot tell anything about arrhythmias after someone is dead, except that they no longer have a rhythm.

poisoning.

That would seem to be a point against Chauvin. If Chauvin was holding his head under the exhaust of a running car, how is that not reckless endangerment? And wouldn't reckless endangerment be covered under one of the charges currently held against Chauvin?

I must be wrong, or I can't believe the defense would be arguing what it is.
