MN - George Floyd, 46, died in police custody, Minneapolis, 25 May 2020 #7 - Chauvin Trial Day 4

[Factoria]

I haven't heard any mention of paramedics administering Narcan... did I just miss it? Seems odd to me.

Asking about training and job role

Yeah, I think we can get used to this as standard means of introducing every witness...

Prequalification.

(I’m not able to watch right now)

Where the officers still on him

Witness “the officers were still on him when I arrived”

Why would they? He was already unresponsive with no pulse when they got there. He was already dead and most likely had been for a few minutes prior to their arrival.

Witness: " In lay terms, I thought he was dead.

I told my partner I wanted to move this out of here..."

Asking about 25th May now

Called code 2 non emergent to a mouth injury

Really?!!!! I was expecting the reason for the call to be something else, more aligned to their concern that he was on something.

I was wondering about his covid, so according to this witness, she recalls his covid test came back positive in late March.

This reminds me, @Lilibet and @Sillybilly, you both had mentioned his covid in the last thread. I had been meaning to comment that I do think it’s entirely likely, based on what we know about covid, and you know L first hand, that he could have had post effects, trouble breathing, hence his mentioning of this from the onset. I have some neighbors, a young healthy couple in their twenties, who told me they’re out of breath all the time.



(I figured this already, jmo.)

I had Covid mid January this year and it took two months later for me to be able to breathe normally. I could only shallow breathe and gasp for oxygen to keep from coughing. Easy to believe that he could be having trouble breathing with the drugs in his system and the anxiety of everything going on.

I thought it was something different as well. Did not know the original call was for a mouth injury.

 

[epiphany]

Witness: Yes (Answer)

Quest: Are the officers still positioned on top of him when u checked for his pulse?

 

[Katerz]

I take back my previous statement. The witness is warming up to me now. He seems slightly shaken up by what happened.

 

[ElizaKate]

He's blunt and to the point. I think the state will like this guy to continue to say "in lay persons terms he's dead..."

Qmfr:

Here’s what I’m anticipating re: when the medical experts get on the stand, both for the prosecution and the defense:

They’ll say two totally different things from each other, obviously, as we know, and it’s basically going to come down to which doctor(s)‘ opinion you want to believe.

As one who has lived in the doctor’s office for the past few years, I can sure tell you that different doctors can have opinions which are polar opposites from each other, but not only that, there is a lot of, hmmm how do we say this, “subjectivity” when it comes to “interpreting” the test results, sometimes, imo. This is a very obvious point I’m making, as we know the medical experts’ testimonies will differ, just sayin, I am expecting huge differences between them, and that’s where it’s going to get, tricky.

An alternate to this, perhaps the medical differences will be more subtle in nature, which will make it even more difficult. Hard to explain what I mean. Hope you get my drift.

He answers with yes “Miss”. Isn’t it usually yes, “Ma’am”?

 

[UKslueth2018]

While you were at the head of GF did you check pulse and pupils

Witness “yes”

 

[UKslueth2018]

Witness “once we got the canvas on ground, the officers were really helpful”

 

[UKslueth2018]

Why were you trying to get things done as soon as possible

Witness “for my patient care”

 

[UKslueth2018]

Witness “we had one officer, I needed someone to do chest compressions”
