"The determination in Black’s case was part of a broader pattern of the medical examiner’s office relying on police narratives in cases involving deaths in custody, the complaint on behalf of the Black family argues."
Antwon Black died in eerily similar circumstances to George Floyd. "Both were unarmed. Both were pinned to the ground by multiple officers and said they were afraid of dying at the hands of police. Both cried out for their mothers. And both were ignored until it was too late."
The Chauvin jury didn't hear any evidence of Fowler's questionable past or the pending civil rights and wrongful death lawsuits against him.
This seems problematic, since these issues go to credibility.
