Restricting air flow doesn't require injury to the neck or lungs. Remember last time you tried to point that out, and I asked if you ever got choked out and you had to go out of your way to insist how badass you are? I do because it was cringe, but I genuinely don't know if you remember. Anyway, I've been put out several times, and not once would it have left enough of an injury to be identified on an autopsy.
Gonna blow your mind real quick. Chauvin can still be guilty of manslaughter even if we know for a fact that Floyd was going to die of an overdose with no assistance. So no, it wouldn't have blown a hole in any case, because all Chauvin has to do to be guilty is make it more difficult to breathe for somebody who is overdosing. You have a poor understanding of the relavent law and refuse to listen when you are corrected on it, so you assume you have some slam dunk opinion on why he's innocent.
There was no proof that the air flow was restricted. None. Zero. Right up to the point where Floyd lost consciousness, he was speaking, breathing, hell, even yelling.
And I asked YOU if YOU had ever been choked out. You've got it backwards, Thor. When somebody is choking you out by restricting airflow, you aren't chatting it up. Further, go back and watch the video. Seriously. He was able to move around, readjust himself, etc.
Once again, he was complaining that he couldn't breath BEFORE he was put on the ground. He DEMANDED to be put on the ground. Manslaughter requires negligence that CONTRIBUTED to the death. That's what the prosecution had to prove. The defense did NOT have to prove his innocence. Merely doubt regarding both negligence and/or contribution to the death.
Now, given the prone position is officially trained by the MPD, crowd threats do constitute a viable reason NOT to render aid to an unconscious suspect, and the prosecution failed to present any viable evidence that Chauvin directly contributed to the death, there's DOUBT. That's all that is required.
It is the duty of the Prosecution to PROVE beyond all reasonable doubt that a crime has been committed. The prosecution failed to do so. You attempts to do so are pathetic.
And I did not say he's innocent. I'm saying based on the cases presented, there's doubt. That doesn't mean he's innocent. It does mean that to my mind, he's not guilty. There's a difference. OJ was acquitted. Did that make him innocent?

I'm attempting to make a comparison and show the differences :(
There will always be slight differences. As I said before, go back, now, and watch the Floyd bystander video. Analyze it without emotion. Watch Chauvin shift, watch Floyd shift, just view it with an unbiased mind, knowing what you know from the case as it has been presented over the last couple weeks.
