That pulmonalogist in the Chauvin case is providing lethal evidence against Chauvin. [View all]

Very credible, and easy to follow. The shallow breaths that Floyd was allowed to take wasn't enough to allow his bronchial pathways to push oxygen into the body.

Now they're talking about the positioning of Chauvin on Floyd's neck, and it does appear that he supports that Chauvin was indeed applying a knee to the neck.

Also says that the handcuffs combined with the street provides a crucial part in obstructing Floyd's breathing. He was pancaked. Even the way the other officers raised the handcuffs high on Floyd's back became a factor.

Dr. Martin Tobin's textbook is referred to as the "bible" of AnotherMother4Peace Apr 2021 #11

Imagine Dr Tobin's initial reaction when he 1st watched the clip of that moment Budi Apr 2021 #15

He is not getting paid & is testifying because he felt he has something to contribute. AnotherMother4Peace Apr 2021 #17
