[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a college wrestler.  It would never occur to me that a much smaller wrestler could ever cause a 6’6” man to die by kneeling on top of him face down, even for an hour.  So maybe a juror will have reasonable doubt that Chauvin had any idea that Floyd under him was dead vs. quiet/passed out — he obviously was acting with zero concern for Floyd’s well being, which was hugely stupid of him, and should/will be convicted of a serious felony, but generally this is not a way to kill someone.  I’m just writing this to suggest how reasonable doubt can creep into the jury deliberations, and people should not assume that a murder conviction will emerge.  However you define “murder” legally, it seems that it is a very loaded word (murder most foul, etc,), and a jury member might resist attaching it to a cop for stupidly/recklessly killing a suspect.[/quote]

Seriously? It would never occur to you that kneeling on someone’s neck, where the arteries go that carry blood to the brain, might kill them? For an hour?!

JFC. Common sense is hugely uncommon.[/quote]
