Who Killed George Floyd.

      The trial of the century is over and Derick Chauvin was convicted on all counts, but the question has never really been answered as to who killed George Floyd. There were several piece of testimony that didn't seem to coincide with the verdict, and one ruling by the judge that had a huge influence on the verdict.

      The coroner testified that his autopsy found that Floyd had a lethal dose of Fentanyl on board amount other drugs.  When he was been arrested he fought back, and before he was dropped to the ground he said, "I can't breath," something he mentioned later on when pinned to the ground with Chauvin's knee on his neck.  A lethal dose of narcotics can cause paralysis of the respiratory muscles and lead to death. This begs the question, Was it the lethal dose of narcotics that interfered with Chauvin's breathing, was it the knee on his neck for almost 8 minutes, or both?  This questio hass never really been answered as the man with Floyd at the time was Morrise Hall, a know drug dealer.  The judge allowed him to avoid giving testimony, because Hall claimed his 5th Amendment rights.  What should have happened months earlier, once the coroners report was available, was that Hall should have been arrested as a possible coconspirator and tried for murder or as an assessors to murder as well.  Instead, because he may be at lerast if not more responsible for Floyd's death.  

      If I were Chauvin's attorney, I would make use of the above as part of any appeal.  The alternate witness commented after the trial that he feared for the community of a not guilty verdict arose from the trial.  Chauvin's attorney has asked for a change of venue  but that wasn't granted by the judge. President Biden and "Mad" Maxine Waters interference didn't help Chauvin either, nor did Minneapolis citizens giving Floyd's family $27 million before the trial.  That seems like an outrageous sum, for what was essentially the estranged family of a career criminal with a serious drug addiction.  The money could have been better spent on helping business that had been burned an looted who had little or no insurance.

      It is also strange to me that Black Lies Matter is not being investigated for its role in causing the riots with their massive damages, holding their leadership responsible. They have extorted millions and so should be an excellent source for Minneapolis' recovery as well as other cities where they lead riots, looting, and arson. Instead they have been used to accumulate a real estate portfolio for one of its founders Patrisse Cullors.
