The state’s outside medical expert, Dr. Martin Tobin, a pulmonary and critical care medicine with 45 yrs of experience, testifies that his opinion is George Floyd died from a low level of oxygen that caused brain damage and caused an arrhythmia that made his heart stop.
Dr. Martin Tobin testifies that 4 forces combined to cause George Floyd to have shallow breathing that led him to have a low level of oxygen:
1)Prone on the ground
2)Handcuffed
3)Knee on his neck
4)Knee on his back
