My question is pertinent to the case. I know you don't want to hear that, but your theory of law is wrong and it's leading you to see relavent things as irrelevant.
If you believe your question was pertinent to the case, then my answer stands.

Based on the shoulder cam footage, under cross examination it was admitted that Chauvin's knee was primarily on the shoulder, not the neck. Based on the original footage we all saw the day of, Floyd could lift his head and adjust for "comfort" and was clearly able to both breath and speak.
The prosecution did not prove one way or another that there was any impact at all of Floyd being held in the prone position, regarding the timing of his death.
Once again, the defense does not have to prove innocence. It is the duty of the prosecution to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. I have reasonable doubt regarding your question, based on all evidence and testimony provided in the trial.
The cases have been made. There is nothing left but deliberation and verdict. Past that point, it's down to appeals and sentencing, or a retrial if hung jury, unless there is a complete acquittal, in which case the case will be completely finished.
We're past the point where hypothetical questions matter. As of this time, everything I believe about the case is formed around the evidence, testimony, and cross examination in the case itself. And based on the case made, my answer is my answer.
You're not a child, Thor, stop acting like one. If someone answers a question in a way you don't like, either rephrase the question, or accept that other people can have other viewpoints. You don't dictate what others think.

I also think they should have tested the knee on the neck theory in court.
If I was on a jury, I'd like to know if chauvin's knee placement could actually cut off my breathing. Then it would be binary at that point, but nope, they didn't do that all, and just made it more confusing by bringing in and wasting time with doctors on both sides.
The prosecution would not have allowed it. Steven Crowder tested it. It was fine. It's also been utilized hundreds of times by Minnesota Law Enforcement with no detrimental effects. The only time it ever becomes a problem is when a suspect is overdosed on drugs. Sadly, that's also the time when the prone position is the most necessary to subdue a suspect without the use of a taser or bullet.
