The last one in Minneapolis when an officer shot a white lady that called police and walked out to the car to tell them what she saw got 12.5 years. Let's see what Chauvin gets for not rendering aid to a drug addict dying of a Fentanyl OD. Chauvin actually got convicted of a worse crime.
Justine Diamond murder.

You're an idiot.

I guess I can say a fire extinguisher killed Sicknick then?

Do you know what Floyd died from?

Quote:The 20-page report also indicates that Floyd had fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death, although the drugs are not listed as the cause.

The autopsy report from Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office concludes the cause of death was "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression." That conclusion, death due to heart failure, differs from the one reached by an independent examiner hired by the Floyd family; that report listed the cause of death as "asphyxiation from sustained pressure."

Exactly. Now, as impartial as you can possibly be, do you believe beyond a reasonable doubt that Chauvin was of a depraved mind when he subdued Floyd?

That's what all 12 jurors had to believe in order to find him guilty of 3rd degree murder which was a prerequisite for 2nd degree murder.

I have no issue with the manslaughter charge, Floyd died while restrained and the officer appeared to be slow to render aid.
