Ex-officer on trial for George Floyd's death asks to show jury an earlier arrest

[JT45242]

2. Positional asphyxia not drugs

His cause of death was positional asphyxia -- the same cause of death as crucifixion. The cause of death was not drugs -- the coroner has already ruled that out.

The defense can feel free to cross examine the coroner and try to get the drugs in for reasonable doubt in that fashion only. The victim is not on trial, these men who abused their power are.

The prior acts of the defendant are not at issue -- the death of George Floyd as caused by Chauvin and his co-defendants is.
