Testimony on Chauvin's possible Depraved indifference or possible active malice?

Didn't the witness Donald Williams, the wrestler and MMA competitor, testify that he'd called out Chauvin that he'd called out that Chauvin was using a potentially lethal hold, a 'Blood Choke. And Chauvin had met his eyes, expression unchanged the seemingly very deliberately pressed down harder.

... and the attitude of Chauvin was indifferent.

He could've had his hands on his head, doesn't change the look what so ever

USA Today also saw the need to correct that crap from the internet...

Like I said... there's enough REAL evidence... 9.5 minutes worth, no need to make shit up.

So I was surprised it hadn't been mentioned, same with Chauvin's putting his hand in his pocket and I hadn't read about being debunked. We're not enemies here and not everyone will get information at the exact same time. Sweet Zombie Jesus, lighten up, people.

When we go out in the real world or even social media and say incorrect things, it looks bad.

I'm just helping.

with coming across as calling them an idiot or having some unknown perhaps sinister ulterior motive. That doesn't create a very good impression either. People make mistake, miss new information, etc, particularly given the firehose of information pouring out every day from several sources.

Someone should correct her, I'm not on Twitter.

He was wearing a black glove, his hand was on his hip. Not in a pocket.

BTW, the prosecutor never claimed it was in the pocket. Yamiche is confused.
