State: if you're going to claim that the Carbon Monoxide poisoning, then who's car are we talking about? Who put him there? in what world is it OK to put someone's face in front of your tailpipe and then claim you didn't play a role in the person's death.

Taking a nap in your car is not a Fentanyl overdose. People having an overdose don't converse with bystanders. What meth are we talking about? it was so low that it was the doctor called it miniscule. And here's the thing about the pills, or maybe it was gum, but why are talking about pills we know weren't in George Floyd. What about drugs (one pill) in the car, that was not in his bloodstream. Why is it discussed?

State closes with use of force is unreasonable, points out burden of proof doesn't require intent.

Defense is calling out Maxine Waters for making a ruckus about No Justice No Peace when there's a jury that isn't sequestered.

imagine if an appellate court overturned the conviction based on Rep Waters actions...weird that they didn't sequester the jury or require them to stay away from 'all media'.

Defense is really laying a strong case for mistrial...HOLY SHIT - even the judge acknowledges...yeah, Rep Waters may let you over turn this verdict on appeal.

Defense just wants this in the record as a point of contention. Judge takes the piss out of politicians for running their mouth and disrespecting a co-equal branch of gov't.

It seems pretty straight forward to me, manslaughter through negligence .

Did they catch the scumbag who gave him the bag of dirty pills yet? He needs to be locked up as well.
i gather from the attorney statements that there was one pill in the van, and it's toxicology didn't match anything in George's bloodstream.

I am misinformed then, I really should read the statements before commenting, I thought they found pills in the cop car that did.

AFAIK, the defense put forth the theory that he could have taken a pill in the back seat of the car. I think the one that was found was in the van.

could be wrong, though. I haven't followed it that closely.

i'm going to disagree, based on the testimony I saw (not complete) and the closing arguments from both sides.
I'm basing it on the video from the arrest, knowing that he had a decent dose of fentanyl in his system, covid and a basic knowledge of choking people unconcious.
