Yes, it was a power trip for Chauvin. How can he sleep at night.

Does anyone know if there are toxicology reports for Chauvin? Was he high on drugs at the time he killed Floyd?

There is one chair in the court for Chauvin’s family member or representative. So far it’s been empty but today someone is seated in that chair.

When this first came out I was in the fence about it because I have a very difficult time understanding how one person can be so cruel to another person. But after reading and listening to the trial my only conclusion as that it was a power trip for him. Flat out murder.

Has his wife been there at all?

His wife divorced him.

He isn’t married anymore, she divorced him immediately after he killed George Floyd.

All these doctors see the same things in the video - that Floyd had a normal respiratory rate right up to the point he stopped breathing (which rules out a Fentanyl overdose). And that Chauvin and the other officers continued to hold him down for several minutes after he stopped breathing.

It's going to be really interesting this afternoon when the medical examiner has to defend his findings in light of the video.

This is the part I found most compelling. The amount of weight on his neck alone as evidenced by Chauvin's body and foot position. Truly riveting testimony and I hope this along with the medical examiner's testimony today seals the deal for him being found guilty.

I think maybe Nelson is laying the foundation that the half eaten pills later found in the police cruiser, could have changed the original autopsy reports, information the experts did not have when they wrote their findings.

and if you go thru the video you see Chauvin at times shift his weight to add even more pressure to the neck. All of this while George Floyd was motionless. I also read Chauvin at one point was crushing Floyd's hand. Chauvin is evil personified. Evil.

Mr. Nelson also sought to portray the medical care that Mr. Floyd received from paramedics as lacking, saying they had not inserted a tube down Mr. Floyd’s throat until nine minutes after they arrived.

Pfft. They couldn't get that creep Chauvin off of George Floyd when they first appeared. That's in the video. Chauvin stopped them from rending aid at first. Wasn't he dead by the time they got to him?

I think a guilty verdict (if there is one) will result in mixed feelings for many.

1. Finally, justice for a murderous cop.

2. We need full-length video of a murder/torture to get that justice. That's a high bar.
