I'm the only one on this forum who has been arrested for assaulting a Chinese national. I put my money where my mouth is. #BuyBangladesh

This isn't a medical expert they found to testify as an expert witness or hold an academic debate. This is a guy who approached Baker and told him to either change his result or he'd personally crucify Baker in the media. And then after the defense did find their own medical expert to testify as an expert witness, this same guy wrote to his former office and accused him of misconduct and demanded they revisit all his old cases and destroy his legacy- a threat for every ME who is even dreaming of defending the other three officers.

It definitely did save Baker's career though. Baker found zero physical evidence of neck compression, and if he had made his topline of the report actually reflect the contents of the report instead of magically drawing it out of thin air, Baker would be out of a job right now- something he didn't really need Mitchell to tell him. That board review for Baker's confirmation renewal as HCME was just a few weeks after the riots, doesn't take Nostradamus to know how that would have turned out if Baker had taken the honest route.

The sad thing though is that Chauvin's fate is likely sealed.

And why is that a bad thing? Like... yeah, perhaps the case is not as clear cut from a purely legal point of view, and we can imagine a scenario where the prosecution would barely not have been able to get him convicted for 2nd degree murder without the outside pressure. But from a moral point of view, the case is crystal clear, isn't it? This is not a situation where a good man was done wrong - Chauvin is an incompetent piece of shit who killed a man in egregious violation of his duty of care and with blatant disregard for human life. He deserves to rot in prison, and it truly baffles me when anyone is 'sad' that he will.
