If twenty other things contributed to floyds death, chauvins knee was still one of them - and that's enough for a murder charge. There's no reasonable doubt that chauvins knee was among the things that contributed to the mans death.
Charged with and convicted for extreme recklessness in the process of committing an assault which led to a mans death. AKA, exactly what you, I, and everyone else saw him do for a good ten minutes..... on video.
It's not factual that the knee contributed to the death. We can't be 100 percent sure. Floyd said many times that he couldn't breathe before he was taken to the ground. He said he was dying or going to die before he was taken to the ground. We don't know if he swallowed drugs right before this, and if he did, his friends already said that he was passing out before and they couldn't wake him, so if you add more drugs on top of that if he swallowed any more, then the drugs are going to be affecting him even more. There's a chance his body just gave out from the drugs and his health conditions. Now, you might say there's only a 1 in a million chance of that or 1 in 10 million or 1 in 100 million chance. If we say that maybe there was a 1 in 500 chance of that happening, or 1 in 1000 chance, then that can be argued as reasonable doubt. I don't know if the doubt was reasonable, so I probably would have tried to convince my fellow jurors to settle for manslaughter.
Sure, that makes a lot of sense, or at least it would if we chose to ignore the results of two autopsies and the testimony of six doctors.
