"Prosecutors pounced on testimony made by a former chief medical examiner called by the defense as an expert witness during the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on Wednesday -- David Fowler, speculated that Floyd could have been exposed to carbon monoxide poisoning when he was pressed to the ground under Chauvin’s restraint near a squad car -- Though Fowler later said he had no knowledge of whether Floyd’s blood had even been tested for carbon monoxide.. he pointed to potential carbon monoxide poisoning [as a factor in Floyd's death] -- Other factors also included cardiac arrhythmia, as well as drugs and Floyd's underlying health problems."
Boom! -- That is it in a nutshell.....George Floyd basically died from exhaust fumes from a police vehicle, drugs, a bad heart, triple diabetes, liver failure, fibromyalgia and probably some other stuff...but it definitely wasn't due to Chauvin cutting off his oxygen supply....like many others had said, Floyd was going to die from all the rest of that stuff that day anyway....
Yea, Dr. Fowler is the same guy who resigned as Chief Medical Examiner and decided to become a professional expert witness when in another case of a man dying from prolonged police restraint -- Fowler declared the guy really died from being on drugs and being bipolar, among other things....so ignoring plain evidence in order to obfuscate police culpability is totally in his wheel house... Now the prosecution completely poked holes all thru the testimony and got Fowler to admit that he is basically pulling all of this out of his ass; but what do you expect them to say??
