Trial in Floyd's death expected to turn to ex-cop's training

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The trial of a former Minneapolis police officer in George Floyd’s death is expected to turn toward the officer’s training on Monday after a first week that was dominated by emotional testimony from eyewitnesses and devastating video of Floyd’s arrest.

Derek Chauvin, 45, is charged with murder and manslaughter in the May 25 death of Floyd. Chauvin, who is white, is accused of pinning his knee on the 46-year-old Black man’s neck for 9 minutes, 29 seconds as Floyd lay face-down in handcuffs outside of a corner market.

#3 Chauvin attorney Eric Nelson questioned Langenfeld about whether some drugs can cause hypoxia, or insufficient oxygen. The doctor acknowledged that fentanyl and methamphetamine, both of which were found in Floyd’s body, can do so.

Case should be closed at this point. Defendant is not guilty. Everybody go home.

#6 Yes, grom. They should all go home and ponder the error of their ways. Yes, I know it won't happen.

#9 Prosecutors are asking the jury to set aside the autopsy and believe the family's version of asphyxiation. Utterly unbelievable!

#10 A couple of years ago all the cool kids were saying that convictions by non-unanimous juries were raysiss. So it's going to be interesting to see the reaction if the Floyd jury is hung 10-2 or 11-1. And from what I'm loosely reading a hung jury is the way to bet.

#11 Hung jury during deliberations until the juror who is hanging things up gets hanged.
