He has to commit a felony that is separate and independent of the act that killed Floyd. If the jury convicts of 2nd degree it will get tossed eventually because the felony that killed Floyd was not independent but was the act that killed Floyd.
Incorrect. Give me a moment to link examples. Recent precedent (which has Been met with outrage)
Allows the felony to be after the fact. They get around that by not including state of mind. So they can, and are saying Derek restraining an “overdosing and dying” suspect is indeed a felony.
I understand Minnesota has some funny precedent but it flies in the face of the us Supreme Court and those precedents are less egregious than the Chauvin case. Basically if allowed to stand all murder in the state of Minnesota would be second degree murder except for drive bys and sex assaults that result in death. Not going to stand.

We shall see. But if you were correct there wouldn’t even be a trial..
Manslaughter is still a viable charge.
