It’s not easy to prove beyond reasonable doubt though. That’s a high burden of proof.
The ambulance person had to actually tell him to lift up. He checked his pulse first while Chauvin’s knee still remained on George Floyd’s neck. The paramedic did a motion, like get up. Telling him, basically, to remove his knee.
His knee was still there. Even when they came. Even at the end. Even unresponsive.
Detective says Chauvin knee on neck a 'totally unnecessary' use of deadly force
“If your knee is on a person’s neck, that can kill them,” he said.
Lt Richard Zimmerman, who leads the homicide department, said in testimony on Friday that in four decades as a police officer he had never been trained to place a knee on someone’s neck as a means of restraining them during an arrest.
If those aren't the actions of a depraved mind I don't know what is. What more do you need to see or hear? This is way beyond reasonable doubt. If you don't see it that way there is nothing left for me to say about it to you after this.

It's on video for the jury to see. There are witnesses and expert testimony including the lieutenant and dispatcher testifying about Chuavin's actions. The Coroner concluded that it was a homicide There's also this:

It’s still not easy to prove. Considering Floyd was saying he couldn’t breathe and struggling before he was in that position, Chauvin could justify not seeing it as an emergency. He could also say he was focussed on the possible threat of people surrounding them, or he froze up, or whatever. All it takes is one juror to not be 100% convinced the guy is a psychopath. It’s a tough sell when he was a cop responding to a crime where the suspect, in his mind, was resisting. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he was convicted of 3rd degree murder, because the charge has merit and also considering how politically charged this case is, and the impossibility of finding a juror who hasn’t already been exposed to some form of narrative.
Any word on who the jurors are?

Either he's guilty or he's not. It's that simple. Which is it for you? You can't play both sides of the fence while claiming the jury is only going to convict because of a "narrative". It's either one or the other.Last edited by joseph5620; 04-04-2021, 12:52 PM.
