IMO:
It's a "no-starter" and wishful thinking from another expert who supported Chauvin.

What works against Chauvin is he continued keeping his knee on Floyd's neck and according to the testimonies during Chauvin's trial he ignored all warnings from bystanders, his fellow officers, and his own police training by maintaining his knee on GF's neck when there were clear signs that GF was struggling to breathe and was losing consciousness,
He ignored training about using proportional force and the need to carefully monitor a suspect's condition carefully and to give medical aid.
Even after GF was lifeless DC kept his knee on his neck and it was a medic that had to nudge DC to take his knee off him.

Take away all that and it's impossible to prove that GF would have died from a heart condition that afternoon while in Chauvin's custody.

hes got a big hill to climb to get out of jail but its not impossible

hes got a big hill to climb to get out of jail but its not impossible

This motion for GF's autopsy report is for Chauvin's federal charges that he plead guilty to and got 21 yrs.
It has nothing to do with the state conviction 22.5 yrs.
The only way he could appeal the fed deal was "ineffective counsel".
He already lost 2 appeals for "ineffective counsel" for the state conviction.
IMO:
His latest theory is as lame as the defense expert at his trail saying it could have been the carbon monoxide that killed GF because his head was near the police car's exhaust.

DOJ says 'no legal basis exists' for Derek Chauvin's request to examine George Floyd's heart

Prosecutors have hit back at Derek Chauvin, the former cop who murdered George Floyd, for asking to get tests done on heart and fluid samples on file from his autopsy, saying "it defies belief."

Interesting that Judge Paul Magnuson also presided over the federal trial of officers Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao for violating GF's civil rights, all three were convicted and Judge Magnuson sentenced them.

 

[mrC]

his appeal revolves around his claim that he didn't know what was in the autopsy report when he agreed to plead guilty

 

[Izzylizzy]

IMO:
Eric Nelson who was DC's defense attorney wouldn't have called Dr.William Schaetzel as a witness because he's a pathologist and not a forensic pathologist.
Schaetzel deals with living patients and their diseases, not deceased individuals to determine the cause of death.
Chauvin's only doctor who testified for his defense was Dr. Fowler, a retired forensic pathologist and Chief Medical Examiner for Maryland.
He tried the "excited delirium" and has been under investigation since the GF trial for his testifing go-to "excited delirium" in many cases
when Black men died in police custody.

Nelson already tried the "heart" and"adrenaline" theory and it didn't fly with the jurors.

The ‘other causes’ theory​

What is it?
"The defense’s primary argument is that Floyd’s death was not due to Chauvin’s actions but happened for other medical reasons. The defense has emphasized Floyd’s drug use, his initial resistance to officers and his preexisting heart problems.

“The evidence will show that Mr. Floyd died of a cardiac arrhythmia that occurred as a result of hypertension, his coronary disease, the ingestion of methamphetamine and fentanyl, and the adrenaline flowing through his body, all of which acted to further compromise an already compromised heart,” Nelson said in opening statements.

Why does it matter?
To get a conviction on any of the three charges, prosecutors have to prove Chauvin’s actions were a “substantial cause” of Floyd’s death. The defense is hoping to undermine that causal link."

Hey Chauvin,​

Been there done that.​

​

"Fowler listed a multitude of potential factors: Floyd’s narrowed arteries, his enlarged heart, his high blood pressure, his drug use, the stress of his restraint, the vehicle exhaust, and a tumor or growth in his lower abdomen that can sometimes play a role in high blood pressure by releasing “fight-or-flight” hormones.

Fowler said all of those factors could have acted together to cause Floyd’s heart to work harder, suffer an arrhythmia, or abnormal rhythm, and suddenly stop."

​

Defense's expert blames George Floyd's death on heart rhythm problem

The defense began presenting its case on Tuesday after the prosecution rested following 11 days of testimony and a mountain of video evidence.

The same autopsy report used at his earlier trial? The trial he sat through? I think that's a bit of a stretch. Hopefully the judge is just covering all bases by allowing this.

 

[Izzylizzy]

No matter what happens with DC and GF's tissues/etc it doesn't effect his 22.5 yr state sentence.

This is never ending story

DC has only himself to blame.
Was it so hard to lift this knee and let the arrestee breathe?

Even kindergarten kids know that one must avoid squeezing the neck while playing.

How long is this case going to drag?
How much time, money and effort is it going to absorb still?

Chauvin had no were else to go then to his federal guilty plea deal conviction.
Maybe the strategy is if he can get his fed conviction overturned then he can appeal again to the state but this time using the fed decision and go again for a new trial?
IMO: He can sit and rot forever.

He already lost:

The Minnesota court of appeals upheld Chauvin's state conviction, 22.5 yrs.

The US Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal, effectively leaving his state conviction in place.
