I thought Blackwell was going to seize on this with a follow up to the effect of ‘who in your opinion should have provided that medical attention?’

If it helps at all, this is a mini timeline I did a while back. Three mins between EMTs arriving and CPR being started. (UK) paramedic that I spoke to found this to be a surprising delay. 20:27.45 EMT Smith checks for carotid pulse and checks pupils. All three police officers are still holding...

Court TV pundits seem to think Fowler is credible, despite not even mentioning the three police officers holding GF down while he died. I suspect Jerry Blackwell might mention it once or twice.

I’m starting to feel a little sorry for Nelson. It obviously hasn’t been easy to find credible witnesses to testify for the defence. I doubt he’s been spoilt for choice.

GF had been going about his business with his dodgy heart, popping all manner of illegal pills, and it was just really bad luck for Chauvin that these two factors conspired to cause his death at the exact same time Chauvin was on top of him. That’s REALLY bad luck.

Did he just say the US is part of the ‘developing world’? Exactly!!!

GF just happened to have a cardiac arrhythmia at precisely the time Chauvin happened to be kneeling on his neck, but there is absolutely no connection between the two events. Hmm.

Ah, ok, thank you. I like Blackwell too!

I’m trying to pay attention but yes it sure is hard work.

I hope Schleicher does the cross for this fella.

I got the impression, when Schleicher finished, that Nelson had to take a moment and shuffle his papers about, because he literally had nowhere to go after that. Both he and Chauvin looked like they’d been slapped in the face with a large slappy thing.

No problem. It was a truly gobsmacking moment.

Credits to Factoria for this transcription: ICYMI: A short clip from Exhibit 43 (I believe this is Keung's BWC footage) is shown to Defense 'expert witness', Barry Brodd. Shows GF lying prone, handcuffed, and restrained by 3 officers. Schleicher: What is Mr. Floyd doing in that clip? Brodd...

That was a devastating cross by Schleicher today. Brodd is in a different class from the state’s use of force experts, and it’s not a good class. IMO.

Schleicher: struggling to breath is not active resistance? Broad: to me, no, to the officer, maybe...

I think the only person resting comfortably was Officer Chauvin on George Floyd’s neck.

I love Jerry Blackwell’s questioning style. “Would you tell the ladies and gentlemen of the jury what a doctor is?” LOL

All the evidence from the prosecution’s medical experts points to GF not dying of an overdose. The only thing that bothered me about that is why was GF apparently foaming at the mouth at 20:14? That is a typical sign of an OD. Keung: Are you on something right now? Cos you acting erratic...You...

I think Dr Baker confirmed in his evidence that GF had not had stents inserted.

They thought he was dead. No pulse was detected at any stage between their arrival and Dr Langenfield pronouncing him dead and he was flatlining in the ambulance. The latter did talk about ‘electrical activity’ so maybe that’s what Dr Baker was alluding to? Or maybe he just made a mistake?
