His testimony did not help all that much in the end. All that buildup on what all could have contributed to Floyd’s death and the punchline is, uh. IdunnoPathology expert now testifying that the drugs reduced amount of o2 in his system. Died of arterial clogging during the restraint.
The bonfires are gonna get wild.
If anything the defense witness contributed to the eggshell precedent. Not that I think Chauvin was going to be acquitted anyway, but by trying to throw more doubt into the mix the expert witness justified the restraint as a potential cause of death.
