That's the claim. His Sargeant testified between 3:30 and 4:15 today that "positional asphyxiation" is a thing, and everyone in the force has been trained on it for 10 or 15 years. This means that if you've got somebody in a prone position, you get them into "the recovery position" once they stop resisting.

The recovery position hasn't been defined, but it's on your side to assist breathing. We don't know if the tilt GF was held at counts as "the recovery position."

Chauvin's Sargeant also said that "positional asphyxiation" could occur with NO pressure applied while in the prone position. It was not followed up yet to establish if adding pressure might accelerate asphyxiation. Either way, this does away with the autopsy finding no damage to the windpipe being a slam dunk that Police activity made no contribution to GF's death.

The Sargeant testified that after GF stopped resisting in the maximal restraint, all restraint could have ceased. The hearing did not establish if restraint SHOULD have ceased.

Lots of tense moments, determining what questions would be allowed.

Everybody seems to think guilt or innocence is a foregone conclusion, which makes a mockery of the very concept of justice. Medical experts may or may not be able to establish cause of death or how much drugs contributed, medical conditions, or Police use of force. That's always what this case has been about.

The idea that "the trial is over" has no merit. The verdict will be up to 15 Jurors; hopefully they want to hear all the evidence and use good judgment. They can override political theater, or perpetuate it. Either way, this is NOT under the control of the elites.
