Frank: What Floyd's blood pressure was in 2019 - how do we make that probative to May 2020 and what was going on that day? What I relevant is what the officers perceive of Mr. Floyd @LawCrimeNetwork
Frank: This is the classic eggshell skull. These officers are responsible and all of the training they receive show they are responsible for this person (someone in their custody) @LawCrimeNetwork
Judge Cahill: as I understand, they are offering this as proof of cause of death. It's the whole point of he ingested drugs in May 2019 that led to a hypertensive incident then on May 2020 he ingests drugs - could that have caused the death? @LawCrimeNetwork
Frank argues this evidence is prejudicial which you can see in the arguments being made about sheer propensity. He uses drugs, uses a lot of drugs. Judge Cahill: You don't just dirty up someone who died - that would be improper. But to some extent...
that there is a difference between a naive user of opiates and a chronic addictive user of opiate in regard to how opiates will impact you or how much it takes to kill you
Frank: the probative value of brining in this other arrest when there's already other evidence of causation - this arrest shouldn't be allowed @LawCrimeNetwork
Judge Cahill: This can be limited to what his probative. I can keep out what would be prejudicial. Nelson: I do think the interview of this witness with the FBI is potentially probative. The state seems to be conflating cause of death and use of forth - 2 separate issues
Judge Cahill is taking this under advisement and will review new FBI document the State provided to defense in discovery earlier this month @LawCrimeNetwork
