My dad a forensic pathologist is outraged at the treatment of George Floyd. He talked to me about the position he was in on his stomach and how even without a knee on his neck maintaining that position for even 5 minutes is enough to restrict air and kill someone.
2. He believes this is murder in the first degree because it is known that restricting air for 5 minutes will kill someone and he purposeful maintained his knee on Floyd’s neck in the face down position. Staying there for an additional 3 minutes.
3. Chauvin may likely not face much time even if he is convicted of murder in the 3rd degree. My dad considers this an intended murder. This is not time to lighten up. We need to continue to put pressure on the DA and anyone involved in the conviction of this murderer.
