The defense is expected to start making its case to jurors this week as testimony resumes in the #ChauvinTrial. mprnews.org/story/2021/04/…
In cross-examining prosecution witnesses the past two weeks, defense attorney Eric Nelson has posited that George Floyd’s underlying medical problems and the drugs in his system were responsible for his death. Prosecutors say Chauvin’s actions to subdue Floyd killed him.
The prosecution’s argument got a boost Friday when Hennepin County Medical Examiner Andrew Baker told jurors the actions by Chauvin and other officers to subdue Floyd as they arrested him tipped the man from life to death.
