That's Absolutely Catastrophic.

Yesterday the prosecution called two experts. Who testified that Floyd died of positional asphyxiation.

Today the prosecution called the expert who performed the autopsy. Who testified that Floyd died of cardiopulmonary arrest.

An entirely different biological process.

You cannot prove that someone has committed any sort of murder. Beyond all reasonable doubt.

If you cannot even agree on the cause of death.

I appreciate that an almost ridiculous amount of leeway is being granted. Due to the strength of feeling within the community.

However, normally.

The defence would now not be called upon to put forward an argument.

The prosecution has failed to meet the required threshold. To even question the presumed innocence.
