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

I didn't understand the point of any of that cross to Smith... Did defence just decide to back out because he was getting owned.

The only "point" I heard was that he was able to check the carotid artery and Chauvin hadn't moved. Which would mean his knee was not on the crotid artery?

Alright, so first paramedic, “code 2” for “mouth injury“ (as already mentioned, just taking some notes here as I’m watching).


* Witness indicates that Code 2 indicates “low criticality...no life threatening indication”.

*Updated to Code 3 “about a minute and a half later”.

Additionally, (paraphrasing):

*At this point, when the witness is asked why there was an upgrade to Code 3, it seems there is not an answer to this, just that they put their lights and siren on and continued. Witness testifies that at that point, they didn’t have any more information re: the reason(s) for the upgrade to Code 3.

Witness “ we were dispatched initially code 2, we were given little info just assist paramedics”

IMO that cross exam by Nelson did more good for the state than it did for DC.

I'm sure all of the defense team was thinking "abort, abort"

I felt like he was getting more frustrated with defence esp when he said are you asking what she has... I think he felt emotional but didn’t want to show it. Jmo

Since this is being televised I think some of witnesses are reluctant to be nice to the defense in answering his questions since it's such an emotional case in a city they live, and work in.

Jmho

At that time you were aware code 2

Witness “yes mam”

Did you get any other info


Witness “Shortly after leaving station dispatch came over for code 3”

Yessss ‘there is no reason MPD could not have started chest compressions’!!!

He snuck that in fast!! Lol. Nelson was not pleased! “That’s not what I asked you”

Must be horrendous for everyone xx

Witness “ there were several police cars, couple of officers were around and people standing around

Were you able to identify patient

Witness “no mam, there was no one on the street”

 

[Weki]

Why is this current testimony relevant? I mean all the detail....they showed up to the wrong location - that’s all that needs to be established IMO

 

[UKslueth2018]

Witness “ I spoke to one police officer, saw maybe six or seven people who were in the vestibule part of store”

Did you have an interaction

Witness “ mam do you mean a conversation?”

She needs to ask better questions!!!

Mentioned off duty firewoman

Nelson also asked about using a thumb to check for a pulse and how you should use fingers because the thumb has a 'pulse' (assuming your own thumb pulse could be mistaken as a pulse on the patient)... is that what one of the officers did? There is ALWAYS a reason why they ask certain questions, sometimes we have to wait days or weeks to find out why that question was asked.

This is exactly it!!

I know this is petty, but she scratches her head too much. Its distracting imo.

I don't know if it's a habit or she's nervous.

Jmho

witness: I gor a sense there was an injured person

My partner stayed with the off duty fire officer she was somewhere between agitated and upset

 

[UKslueth2018]

Witness missed that he knew genieve at time he arrived on scene

THIS is some rap sheet . This guy used to be Maurice and changed his name I guess to Morrie's. Reports are it is all the same and take a look at some of the crimes...no wonder he can't get on the stand. The defense would discredit anything he says.

Witness “ I spoke to one police officer, saw maybe six or seven people who were in the vestibule part of store”

just an observation...she is confusing and not good with these witnesses.
