i googled him to figure out which guy you were talking about, because i'm watching the trial on youtube and it's really hard to watch it in chronological order after i miss a few.
he's also done this before and is being sued.

Fowler's theory on Floyd's death which he says was caused by a sudden heart event matches the one he gave in the 2018 death of 19-year-old Anton Black, a Black man who died in after being restrained and pinned to the ground by police.
Fowler, a former professor at Johns Hopkins University, served as Maryland's chief medical examiner until he resigned in 2019. He is being sued in federal court by Black's family.
No one has ever been charged for the death of Anton Black, who was only 19 years old.
the defense is throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. this expert is full of shit.
