The evidence very clearly shows that Floyd had been taking fentanyl that morning before the encounter, hence his happy dancing in the story and nodding off in the car. Everyone said he was visibly high. Hence, metabolizing fentanyl. Then when he was arrested, he ingested some unknown quantity of fentanyl, enough that he was spitting some back up while in the squad car handcuffed, and yet rest of the drugs weren't recovered, indicating he swallowed all of them. Hence, a large dose of unmetabolized fentanyl in his system when he died.
The amount in his system was far higher than the lethal dose floor, enough to kill a horse, let alone a healthy human, let alone someone with extreme risk factors. But if we were going to try to explain the ratio of unmetabolized::metabolized fentanyl in his blood by saying he had only taken it earlier in the day and that singular dose was only partially metabolized, then the original dose would have to be far higher amount. Fentanyl at 11 ng/ml, Norfentanyl at 5.6 ng/ml. The metabolic ratio of Fentanyl/Norfentanyl is around 1:2.5 or 1:3 and is excreted around 0.4-6% as fentanyl and 26-55% as norfentanyl, taking around 3-4 days for 85% to eliminate. We're probably looking at 20+ ng/ml fentanyl when introduced on a conservative estimate. Pretty sure in terms of raw weight we're upgrading from "would kill a horse" to "would kill a blue whale".
At that point we're talking about a medical impossibility.
Dude, Chauvin committed murder. The Jury who was exposed to all of this evidence accounted for it. Chauvin was always gonna get murder, just a matter of what degree, so drop the theatrics.
