Evidence is just coming out. Experts on Police use of force and medical care haven't testified yet. I think the order of events is defense doesn't get to call witnesses until after prosecution is done calling theirs?
Hopefully the jury can take all this in before deciding either way.
Could be. Manslaughter 2 and 3 are specifically charged, but any lesser charge is automatically on the table in MN. I don't know what lesser charges that might include.
4 days of expert testimony later, lots of facts established now. I think murder can maybe be beat, but unintentional or negligent manslaughter may be hard. Did you see the testimony?
Defense hasn't had their turn to call any witnesses yet, we'll see ...
Defense established some really important things today though. Also, prosecution made no attempt to determine how much time GF's face was straight down vs off to the side. The side being vulnerable to airway blockage from knee

No way murder charges stick.

Today was a smashing success for the prosecution! I can't wait for the defense. Prosecution looked like shit until today!
