Today’s final use of force expert witness really makes me wonder if Chauvin will get murder. Probably third degree. I had thought for a while that manslaughter was appropriate, but third degree unintentional murder seems like a possible outcome. He walked through each clip and you get to the clip where Chauvin is telling a fellow officer “no, he’s staying like this,” when asked if they should reposition him onto his side. Another officer telling him towards the end, that Floyd had no pulse.
To me, that’s game over. Defense is doing its job trying to pick it apart but those videos are what they are. A reasonable officer wouldn’t have caused or let a suspect die.
