#1 The first autopsy was performed by a medical examiner hired by the family, clearly.

This autopsy was performed by a medical examiner who worked for the local establishment of local law enforcement works for, clearly.

After all of this George probably looks like a black frankenstein!

#4 The dueling coroners. The jury will face reasonable doubt. So lets watch to see change of venue and how they pack the jury.

#6 Change of venue won't keep the Hennepin County ME's report out. That's not to say Crump might not find another way to have it excluded, but I think it's unlikely it will be disallowed wherever the case is heard.

#9  So now it's ok to induce a heart attack in a compliant arrestee?

Ignoring the straw man for the moment, I believe a certain lack of compliance was the root of the problem.

#10 Ref #9:. That really is going to leave a mark.

#11 a certain lack of compliance

Classic. Deserves its own acronym: CLOC

If there's ever a remake of Cool Hand Luke, this phrase deserves to be given to the warden character

#15 He was minding his own bidness drinking and taking drugs on the roof of a building. It isn't like he was giving anyone a haircut or anything dangerous like that.

Meth is bad

#17 Meth is bad

For those of you who have not had the pleasure of dealing with such people, there is a meme going about with R2D2 on the left, and an abused roadside trash can on the right. "Meth. Not Even Once."

It is spot. on. Except in this case, the droids will tear your arms off if they lose.

#18 I read the full report; he had:

- enlarged heart
- cardiovascular disease (up to 75% blockage of some arteries)
- fentanyl in his system
- meth in his system
- caffeine in his system
- COVID-19 antibodies

what he didn't have:

- bruising around the neck
- petechial hemorrhage (anywhere)
- any other trauma in the neck area (like a broken hyoid bone)

i'm assuming the truth lies in what happened between the time they approached him and when he ended up on the ground.

but with all that stuff in his system, along with everything else stacked against the guy, unless some new information comes to light, those charges against the cops aren't going to stick.

#19 He wasn't choked in the video, Bob.
One or both arteries delivering blood to the brain were blocked by the knee. See The Carotid Sinus Strike.
