#DerekChauvinTrial has begun for a second week. Jury selection resumes shortly.

Chauvin’s attorney Eric Nelson told the judge he plans to call a toxicologist to try to argue drugs allegedly found in George Floyd’s system caused his death (they didn’t)

pscp.tv/w/cx4FADFheVFW…
Prosecutors are arguing that the forensic pathologist Nelson hopes to call would essentially be making evaluations that only a psychiatrist would be competent for. They are also disputing various points Nelson referenced re the medical examiner report
Chauvin’s lawyer Eric Nelson is talking more about how he plans to elicit opinions from a medical witness about the implications of fentanyl levels in the bloodstream.

Chauvin’s defense clearly hopes to make use of disproven claims that George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose.

On Feb 19, a family-friendly caravan disrupted traffic at several #Line3 construction routes. During the event, authorities announced a baseless bomb threat via FEMA’s Wireless Emergency Alerts system, which prompted backlash from locals who believed protesters were at fault.
While the caravan was stopped at the 3rd disruption area, authorities sent the “Imminent extreme alert” SMS messages to cell phones in Aitkin, St Louis, Pine, and Carlton Counties. Image
This “potential explosive hazard” turned out to be false, but the psychological effects were real with the ensuing backlash. Carlton County Sheriff's Office published two press releases making unsubstantiated connections between the water protectors and the "hazard." ImageImage

Organized by young women three months after #BreonnaTaylor was killed by police and a month after #GeorgeFloyd, thousands gathered in South Minneapolis to protest Taylor’s death and the lack of accountability for police. 🎥 unicornriot.ninja/2020/minneapol…
