Jury is gone till Monday until closing arguments then they deliberate.
The Judge warned the state of a mistrial because they with held evidence from the defense and the state recalled their "expert" witness (some potato eating IRA faggot) to ask about CO2 levels.
They just about hit that mistrial line, but the Judge bitched out. He should have declared a mistrial though. The with holding evidence thing is bullshit.
The prosecution wants a mistrial because they know they botched the prosecution.
The defense does NOT want a mistrial at this point. They're going to take their chances with this jury (conviction on manslaughter only or outright acquittal or hung jury), and hope there are enough mistakes that a conviction could be overturned on appeal (fat chance of a judge having the balls to do that).
From my understanding, they are saying "98% ox sat" sometimes referred to as (O2 sats) thus, means, there is only 2% Carbon dioxide (CO2).
The prosecution wanted to prove that it was a nonfatal/normal range of .05%-2% (CO2)
Today Tobin testified that Floyd's oxygen saturation levels were 98 percent when he died, prosecution asked "does that tell us anything whatsoever about what the carbon monoxide content could have been at a maximum?"
"Yes it does, it tells us that if the hemoglobin is saturated at 98 percent, it tells you all there was for everything else is 2 percent, and so the maximum amount of carbon, carbon monoxide, would be 2 percent," Tobin said.
"It tells you the maximum amount of carboxyhemoglobin, that was what was mentioned yesterday, the maximum amount is 2 percent. It doesn't even tell you that it is 2 percent, it could be something else, but 2 percent of carboxyhemoglobin is within the normal range," Tobin continued.
Prosecution did exactly what they were told not to do.
The prior defense "expert" witness said you have to do a carbon monoxide blood test for the carboxyhemoglobin level because the test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood that has bonded with carbon monoxide.
“We have a heart that's vulnerable because it’s too big. It demands lots of oxygen. It has very narrow vessels. There are certain drugs that are present in your system that make it, put it at risk of any arrhythmia, methamphetamine. ... We've got the carbon monoxide, which has the potential to rob some of that additional oxygen-carrying capacity,” Fowler stated.
"Are you able to tell this jury whether or not Mr. Floyd at the time that he was being subdued on May 25 was being exposed to carbon monoxide above the limit or level that was set by the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] of nine parts per million?"
"No, no testing was done," Fowler said.
Prosecutors said they had been contacted by Dr. Andrew Baker, the Hennepin County chief medical examiner who performed the autopsy on Floyd, to disclose previously unpublished test results that showed normal carbon monoxide levels in Floyd's blood.
The judge said prosecutors had been notified by the defense earlier this year that Chauvin would advance a theory of carbon monoxide poisoning. And so he denied the request to admit the new evidence, saying it was too last-minute in a way that was prejudicial to Chauvin. Cahill warned prosecutors that if Tobin even mentioned the existence of the results, he would declare a mistrial.
CO2 molecules can attach to a person's hemoglobin and successfully imitate oxygen molecules. Some tests can't tell the difference between these molecules, meaning you'll receive a combined carbon dioxide/oxygen saturation reading rather than just measuring oxygen.
When you inhale carbon monoxide, it replaces the oxygen that is normally carried by the hemoglobin in your red blood cells. As a result, your brain and other tissues get less oxygen. This can cause serious symptoms or death.
Carbon monoxide (CO) binds to hemoglobin in a similar way that oxygen does. Unfortunately, hemoglobin has about 230 times the affinity for CO than it does for oxygen, so even a small amount of inhaled carbon monoxide will bind to hemoglobin and block out oxygen from the equation. We call hemoglobin that is attached to CO "carboxyhemoglobin," and that is the measure we use to determine the severity of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, and odorless gas made by combustion. Breathing in CO can be fatal because it doesn't allow oxygen to get to your heart and other organs.
Five basic gases are emitted from the tailpipe of an internal combustion engine—carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and oxygen (O2).
Carbon monoxide results from burned fuel. It’s an odorless, colorless, tasteless poisonous gas that consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. CO is produced when HC and O2 combine during the combustion of any fuel that contains carbon.
Our atmosphere is made up of 21% oxygen, and only about 2% of exhaust emissions are oxygen. ok I'll stop.
No it's not.
Both the state and defense rested.

why would the prosecution want it known that floyd died with 98% ox sat? that queers their entire narrative of hypoxia / asphyxia.
