Sure, that's fine, makes sense. But how did 3x the amount of fentanyl not unsaturate his blood? IM GOING TO MISS "FENTANYL FLOYD". Heart Failure Floyd is a shitty shitty nickname.

Opioid tolerance?

I am not a doctor, but one probably knows. It makes sense to me that resuscitation efforts like CPR/blowing oxygen into his lungs might increase the oxygenation of his blood if it was done for a while.

There does seem to be some weird unresolved technical stuff here. Was there CO? How much? Does the 98% O2 saturation blow the hypoxia-as-CoD hypothesis out of the water? How does that work? Seems really hard to die from oxygen related issues at 98% saturation.

But what do I know? Not enough to interpret this nonsense.

Are you saying that you have reasonable doubt!?

This. The prosecution needs time to fix their case after a massive rebuttal failure (98% blood O2). They have no time. Their entire close has to argue why you can asphyxiate with 98% O2 blood beyond a reasonable doubt. I don't think it's possible. Nelson can say over and over 60% O2 asphyxia one frame, 98% O2 next frame--the witness tobin (the best witness for the state case) contradicts himself to suit his own argument and his theory on cause of death (positional asphyxia) barely can survive scrutiny. How can a cop in the moment tell what is even happening to GF? GF most likely died from his heart stopping which looks like it happened before GF even goes to the ground. The cops are not guilty of anything because GF was going to die that day despite anything the cops did besides respond to a forgery call.

Once he poped that extra fentanyl or whatever in his mouth, I too think he was done.

He died from his heart attack before the oral dose even really set in. That’s why it wasn’t metabolized into norfentanyl too
