[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

I think the pills are relevant to some of the defense arguments because they contained meth (not at super high levels though) and [b]were ingested or attempted to be ingested at the scene[/b]. Which the defense is insinuating counteracted the opioids and might be why Floyd wasn’t nodding off. Again not saying this is a super strong argument but the implications of “speedballs” have definitely come up. The meth levels in the pills and the meth levels in the toxicology report are not very high. One of the experts testified the meth level in tox report is consistent with a therapeutic dose of methamphetamine.

I guess that another aspect of bringing up the pills is that it might slightly discredit the state in the eyes of the jury, but I’m not sure that effect is super strong here since it’s a former police officer at trial. I guess it has some effect but I’m really not sure. I thought the BCA witness handled the explanation pretty well of how they were originally processing the car for the swabs on the plexiglass divider, then they sealed the car and reprocessed it when the request to process for the pills came in. I’m not sure why the pills wouldn’t have been seized for evidence the first time. I suppose it could be as simple as that explanation, but it is still problematic. [/quote]
