Week 3 of the federal trial in #GeorgeFloyd’s death resumes today after a delay due to one of the former officers testing positive for COVID-19 last week. | Trial Of 3 Cops In Floyd Killing Resumes Monday After COVID Pause

Testimony has resumed in trial of three former Officers, an expert witness for the prosecution Dr. David Systrom is on the stand

Dr. Systrom says that insufficient breathing also results in a buildup of carbon dioxide. Patients experiencing this often complain of shortness of breath. Can lose consciousness/stop breathing.

A side-by-side diagram is being shown to jury representing normal respiration and respiratory distress of lungs, showing the decreased oxygen flow when there is distress.

Next, a side-by-side brain diagram, showing oxygen flow when normal vs. when in respiratory distress.

In regards to J Alexander Kueng’s position on #GeorgeFloyd, Dr. Systrom says “he was holding (Floyd’s) wrist and leaning down onto his chest.” Says Kueng’s position further prevented Floyd from being able to adjust his body to breathe better.

Dr. Systrom says based on video/pictures of #DerekChauvin’s knee on side of #GeorgeFloyd’s neck, that Floyd’s upper airway was partially blocked.

Dr. Systrom says Thomas Lane’s intermittent restraint on #GeorgeFloyd’s legs also prevented Floyd from adjusting his body to assist his breathing.

An illustration shows four points of pressure on #GeorgeFloyd when he was in the prone position. His neck, his left elbow/torso, his wrist against his lower back and the fourth on his buttocks. First two pressure areas are from Derek Chauvin, second two from Kueng.

Dr. Systrom says #GeorgeFloyd said that he couldn’t breathe about 25 times while in the prone position.

Harvard pulmonologist Dr. David Systrom says #GeorgeFloyd died from “asphyxia” this is notable because Medical Examiner Dr. Baker did not list asphyxia as cause. Systrom also testifying that pressure on Floyd’s abdomen contributed to the fatal asphyxia.

Defense continues to object during questioning about repetitive nature of the questioning. Judge sustains most of these, agreeing that the questioning is repetitive, echoing moments from earlier in the trial between judge, prosecution.

Infamous videos of George Floyd’s death from police body cams and witness videos return to center stage at trial of 3 former officers. Defense has succeeded in getting limits on videos. Body cam videos from Lane, Thao, Kueng along with 2 witnesses including Frazier video played

When asked if #GeorgeFloyd would have died from his heart issues without the police restraint, Dr. Systrom said “a definitive no.”

Dr. Systrom said in his medical opinion, #GeorgeFloyd’s death was not sudden.

Dr. Systrom said someone overdosing on fentanyl would not complain of shortness of breath. In fact, patients near the end of their life who complain of shortness of breath are given fentanyl or morphine to counteract that feeling.

Dr. Systrom asked what could have been done to aid #GeorgeFloyd before he lost consciousness, says it would have been to relieve him from pressure from the top, letting him assume seated position.

Dr. Systrom says #GeorgeFloyd’s chances of revival would have “doubled or tripled” if CPR had been performed right after Floyd had cardiac arrest.

Defense during the court break: Dr. Systrom was at a #GeorgeFloyd vigil organized by Brigham & Women's Hospital on June 5, 2020… a vigil for those killed by police, including George Floyd. All employees were encouraged to attend. Will be asked about this.

Defense attorney Robert Paule (Tou Thao's attorney) is now up for cross-examination of Dr. David Systrom. Starts out by asking how long he's been a doctor, Systrom says close to 40 years.

Dr. Systrom charges $600 an hour for his expert witness testimony preparation. Defense asks how many hours he worked. Systrom is not sure, but guesses about 20 hours. That would equal $12,000.

Defense Attorneys have pictures of the expert witness who has been on the stand all day at a June 2020 Boston rally showing solidarity for George Floyd. Defense attorneys expected to cross examine Dr David Systrom about this

Dr. Systrom disclosed a picture on social media that showed him at a #GeorgeFloyd vigil organized by Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, Mass. on June 5, 2020. About two weeks after Floyd's death.

Paule shows a picture of the event at the hospital, showing medical staff kneeling during the vigil, including Systrom. A picture was published in the hospital's newspaper. Everyone took a knee for 8 mins and 46 seconds, Systrom said.

Defense's Thomas Plunkett (J Alexander Kueng's attorney) now up for cross-examination. Running through Kueng's positioning on #GeorgeFloyd's body during the prone position.

Plunkett contends that Kueng's knee was further down on Floyd, in the area of his upper thigh, whereas Dr. Systrom's diagram showed it was on the buttocks. Systrom says either spot would still factor in Floyd being obstructed from adjusting to a better position for breathing.

Plunkett's line of questioning is now going through the videos/evidence that Dr. Systrom reviewed that Kueng didn't have access to during the incident.

Dr. Systrom said J Alexander Kueng had a "front row" seat to the events that happened, but agreed it is a high stress environment.

Defense atty Earl Gray (Thomas Lane's attorney) now up.

Gray done with brief questioning.

Court is now in recess.

Court back with US atty Manda Sertich up for redirect of Dr. Systrom.

Systrom says he didn't review any evidence of the incident prior to the June 5, 2020 vigil for #GeorgeFloyd outside his hospital. Said his attendance didn't affect his medical opinion in the case.

Dr. David Systrom is excused from the stand.

Asst. U.S. Attorney Allen Slaughter calls MPD Officer Nicole MacKenzie to the stand.

Part of Officer MacKenzie's testimony from the state trial focused on medical training. She trains in medical support, including CPR.

In the state trial, she said part of the training is, if the subject doesn’t have a pulse, that CPR should begin immediately.

In defense cross examination during the #DerekChauvin trial, Mackenzie said rendering aid to a person can be distracting/difficult if there are environmental concerns. “If you don’t feel safe… it’s very difficult to focus.”

MPD Officer MacKenzie running prosecution through training officers receive for providing medical care, including putting someone in the side recovery position, or "rescue" position.

Officer MacKenzie knows Kueng and Lane from training at the police academy.

Court is in recess until Tuesday morning.

Now as some might know - I am leaving on a Holiday tomorrow - so I won't be able to post these tweets. I shall be gone for 2 whole weeks!

So I believe @Kristin Esq. - you get your "job" back - if you want it. Can I make a suggestion if you do the tweets - can you put the "date" of the tweets - that way I can scan them really quick when I get back.

I'll try & pop in once in awhile - hopefully - to post updates. The trial might even be over by the time I get back on here on Feb. 24th.

Before I head for bed - I'll try & collect the rest of the tweets for today - at least up to their lunch hour.

 

[Kristin Esq.]

@Niner - I'll do my best. I'm currently watching and posting on the Crumbley Parents. Their prelim exam is today, so typing up the examination as it happens. Thankfully it's live streamed!

Okay - that's great that you can do it. Not following that case - Crumbley.

You don't have to wait for the tweets to start - maybe like 2 or 3 hours in - you can start posting the tweets - and then the rest after lunch. I know you'll do a great job!

In defense cross examination during the #DerekChauvin trial, Mackenzie said rendering aid to a person can be distracting/difficult if there are environmental concerns. “If you don’t feel safe… it’s very difficult to focus.”

MPD Officer MacKenzie running prosecution through training officers receive for providing medical care, including putting someone in the side recovery position, or "rescue" position.

Officer MacKenzie said in excited delirium cases, it's important to get the patient on their side (recovery position) after being handcuffed, and get EMS to the scene.

MacKenzie said the recovery position is a common theme throughout medical training classes.

On excited delirium, MacKenzie said it's not seen often -- she's seen it maybe once in her career -- but says it's trained because cops need to know the potential signs and that it will likely lead to a medical situation.

MPD Officer Nicole Mackenzie on stand in trial of 3 former officers accused in #GeogeFloyd death. She is head of medical training for MPD. She says Kueng & Lane were both trained “if you cant detect a pulse in ten seconds you should begin CPR”.Training included “excited delirium”

Notably, the defense objected several times during the direct, saying that the prosecution's showing of segments of the #GeorgeFloyd video was cumulative and repetitious. It's something that has been a theme throughout the trial.

Defense atty Robert Paule (Tou Thao's attorney) now up for a "lengthy" cross-examination of Officer MacKenzie, he said.

MPD Officer Nicole Mackenzie, who is head of MPD medical training says the actions of former Officers , Thao, Lane and Kueng and their failure to aid George Floyd were “inconsistent” with the police medical training they had received

Judge Paul Magnuson sustained some of these objections and overruled others. Judge also gave prosecution warning of leading questions.

Paule points out that one of the pictures in an excited delirium training powerpoint shows an officer kneeling on the upper shoulder/neck of a person in a prone position. Paule is asking MacKenzie about what she said about the position during a past interview.

Court resumes. Officer MacKenzie couldn’t tell if there was any force used in the presentation photo of the officer kneeling on a subject’s shoulders/neck.

She says she wasn’t trained to put her knee on someone’s neck.

Paule asks for a lunch break for Officer MacKenzie to review the interview transcript. Judge agrees.

Court is in a break until 2 p.m.

Plunkett asks if officers would have done what Kueng suggested, use an MRT, it would end with #GeorgeFloyd being put into the side recovery position. MacKenzie agrees.

Defense atty Earl Gray is now up for continued cross-examination of MacKenzie.

Gray is noting Thomas Lane call EMS, asking to “hobble” #GeorgeFloyd, upgrading the EMS call, asking to roll Floyd on his side – to attend to Floyd’s medical needs. Officer MacKenzie agrees Chauvin refused rolling Floyd over.

Gray’s line of questioning is clearly meant to show Lane’s concern for Floyd during the incident, and Lane's attempts to aid Floyd.

Asst. U.S. Attorney Allen Slaughter back up for redirect.

MacKenzie said that Lane was making the “right suggestions” during the incident, but it wasn’t enough because suggesting and actually rendering aid are two different things.

Redirect over.

Re-cross now with defense atty Robert Paule (Tou Thao's attorney).

Paule asks if Thao went to grab the hobble for #GeorgeFloyd but was refused by #DerekChauvin, MacKenzie agrees.

Plunkett asks if Kueng could see things from the perspective of those on the sidewalk, MacKenzie says he could not. That's the only question from Plunkett.

MacKenzie is excused from the stand after a grueling day and a half of testimony. #GeorgeFloyd

POLICE TRIAL: Week 3 testimony continues Wednesday in the federal trial of 3 ex-officers charged with violating #GeorgeFloyd’s constitutional rights.

Notably, before the first witness was brought up, the judge says one of the jurors, Juror No. 47, has been excused. The juror's son has a medical situation that needs attention. The judge wishes both the best.

The first witness on the stand is Dr. Vik Bebarta, will be discussing emergency medicine and toxicology in relation to this case. Prosecution running through his background. He's a professor at the University of Colorado and an Air Force colonel.

Prosecution asks Dr. Bebarta if he's ever had to refuse an order in the military. Before any answer was given, the defense objects. Judge sustains.

When asked about his expert opinion on #GeorgeFloyd’s cause of death, Dr. Bebarta says he died from a lack of oxygen to his brain. Bebarta says Floyd suffocated, because his airway was closed and he couldn’t breathe.

Dr. Bebarta said #GeorgeFloyd had an increased tolerance of opioids and the level of fentanyl was low in his system.

Furthermore, Dr. Bebarta said that #GeorgeFloyd did not die of a drug overdose.

Dr. Bebarta says the officers did not provide any medical aid before #GeorgeFloyd was loaded into the ambulance.

Before a morning break, Dr. Bebarta said that Floyd did not die of a heart attack.

[Kristin Esq.]

After the morning break on 2/9/2022

Dr. Bebarta running through possible symptoms of excited delirium, including pain tolerance. Bebarta says #GeorgeFloyd demonstrated he had pain. Other symptoms include rapid breathing, sweating, agitation, unusual strength.

Dr. Bebarta said it appears #GeorgeFloyd did not show signs of excited delirium. Later, Bebarta said Floyd did not suffer a sudden death, but gradual.

Dr. Bebarta says #GeorgeFloyd would have lived if he was placed in a recovery position before he stopped breathing.

Dr. Bebarta says in his professional opinion, #GeorgeFloyd could have survived if he was given CPR when he had cardiac arrest, and the officers were in the best position to do that. Defense atty Robert Paule (Tou Thao's atty) now up for cross-examination.

On cross, Dr. Bebarta says he's spoken with the government about 10 times and started working on the case in July of 2020. The gov't reached out to him.

Defense atty Robert Paule asks Dr. Bebarta how many times he's seen people in agitated states similar to excited delirium. He says a thousand times.

I think they broke for lunch after this because there hasn't been another Tweet for over 45 minutes.

Defense atty Paule continuing cross-examination of Dr. Vik Bebarta, who earlier said fmr officers Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J Alexander Kueng could have saved #GeorgeFloyd's life multiple times during the arrest.

Here's a court sketch of Dr. Vik Bebarta (credit: Cedric Hohnstadt)



Note: The court sketch portrays the prosecution's direct. The doctor is being cross-examined by defense right now.

Defense’s Paule is asking Dr. Bebarta about a White Paper Report on Excited Delirium Syndrome, which is from the American College of Emergency Physicians, published in 2009. Bebarta is a member of ACEP, but wasn’t involved in the report.

Dr. Vik Bebarta is excused from the stand.

Prosecution's next witness is McKenzie Anderson, forensic scientist for the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

She testified in the #DerekChauvin trial. Here's the report from that day.



Prosecution is running McKenzie Anderson through multiple pictures she took of evidence at the scene, including the SUV Floyd was inside prior to his arrest and the squad vehicle they attempted to put him inside.

Anderson said she initially missed seeing a white pill in the back seat, which is seen in photos from the first processing. She said she didn’t give it any forensic significance and the focus was on the blood in the back seat.

The pill, and other pill fragments, were recovered in January only after the defense asked for re-examination of the squad car.

Prosecution ends direct.

Court is in recess until Thursday morning.
