He was charged and wanted to plead guilty to lesser charges but they wouldn't let him.
And I still don't know exactly how he died. Floyd was saying he thought he was going to die before he ever went to the ground. Maybe he could tell that his body was breaking down? Why did he think he would die if they put him in the back of the car, without the thought of a neck restraint even entering his mind?
I don't think what Floyd said in slowly dying was any prediction. I do think it was excessive force though.
