I think that the officers' attorney is doing a great job at stating his case. The issue will be that the jury will be targets if they don't convict this guy of something even though I think he is innocent of the charges brought against him. The evidence is pointing to the fact that he did not kneel on his neck, and the autopsy report will reveal that Floyd died of a Fentanyl overdose. but that is just my opinion.
It has been a matter of fact that they are innocent since a few months after. The prosecution has failed to prove its case. It's not a prosecution. It's a lynch mob. Their entire strategy consists of finding more people to take the stand and rattle their pitchfork.
There are a lot of people being armchair superheroes thinking they could have saved his life or they know better than the cops in this case.
The prosecution's arguments are ridiculous. That the cops should stand aside and let random members of the public "save him" or rather resist in his arrest.
Or that Chauvin has some kind of magical Vulcan death grip he can perform with his knee.
The whole case is nonsensical. You're seeing a man being publicly lynched for being white. There's no matter of opinion to it. The facts speak for themselves. The autopsy has been out the months, the videos, the transcripts.
Absolutely nothing untoward has happened other than the foul reaction of the crowd and this travesty of justice. This is a show trial.
He's slurring so it's not easy to hear. From a distance and in the situation it might sound like "I ain't doin' any drugs."
Closer up however it sounds a lot more like "I ate too many drugs."
It's quite possible that it's ambiguous and people at the scene may have heard both statements if they heard at all.
The brain tends to predict and fill in so a lot of people would have heard something conforming to "I didn't do nothing." if they couldn't quite hear it.
Another part of that is if you expect to hear it one way (having been told) or read subtitles or the like, it can turn gibberish or a ambiguous phrase into that. Chalk that towards the "reasonable doubt" column, if that one still exists that is.
Sounded pretty clear to me.

And how many is too many? Enough to kill you probably qualifies.
Too many is > 0.
Great. I think we can all agree it is somewhere between 0 up to and including enough to kill you.
Floyd’s opinion apparently was the upper end of the scale.
"Allegedly." As opposed to saying what? "I hate too many drums!"? He must be very particular about his music selection.

It's only the last one I find really ambiguous.
When approached for any reason by the police, I always scream at them that I ain’t doing no drugs, just to put them at ease.
You might in the context of them asking if you're on drugs.
No, I do it every time, in case they are wondering but are afraid to ask.

I heard "Muffin, Muffin, Muffin"
