It can cause high Carbon Dioxide levels because it depresses the ventilation or the breathing so when someone ingests fentanyl it can cause them to feel sleepy because of an increased Carbon Dioxide level, agreed . Correct. And thats one of the reasons why fentanyl is so dangerous because it suppresses the respiratory system, agreed . The primary reason it is so dangerous. Yeah. Now you testified that when the paramedics gave their report to you they did not give you any reference as to potential drug use, correct . Correct.

Could put your former prosecutor hat on and tell us where we are in this point of the Closing Arguments. Watching this reminds me of what it felt to sit at the table and listen to defense lawyers make their close and you just being so anxious to stand back up and rebut and thats what the prosecutors going to do now. The prosecutors going to walk this jury back through the law and the evidence. I got to tell you from my perspective this defense attorney, i dont think he did his client a lot of favors. He rambled and went on and on and on and on rather than just focusing on his most powerful arguments, briefly and strongly. It is almost like he kept trying to throw stuff up against the wall to see if anything would stick and jurors sense that. He only has to get one jury to make it be a hung jury with no result but i didnt think he was particularly effective because he just talked too long and reminded me of senators talking too long. Michael eric tyson, everything you have written on th
Years. The city of minneapolis and the entire country is on edge, depending on the result. President biden finally weighing in earlier today, calling the evidence in the case overwhelming, strongly suggesting that hes hoping for a guilty verdict, but calling for calm, no matter the outcome. Here were his remarks on the case and on the grief that the floyd family is still enduring. Ive come to know George Floyds family, and so i can only imagine the pressure and anxiety theyre feeling. Theyre a good family. Theyre calling for peace and tranquility, no matter what that verdict is. Im praying the verdict is the right verdict, which i think is overwhelming in my view. I wouldnt say that unless the jury was sequestered now, not hearing me say that. The Biden Administration already has been gearing up for any response when the verdict comes down. That preparation includes reaching out to National Guards, minneapolis officials and civil Rights Groups on the ground and all across the country.
Call, we know there is a risk factor, we just dont know what level depending on the severity of the call. Stiger went on to say that you can hear on the video Derek Chauvin responding to what george floyd was saying which could indicate he was not distracted by the crowd. The defense also argued that use of force policies can differ among police departments. Not everything is in the training manual when you arrive on a scene. And sometimes he got stiger to agree that Police Actions caught on camera are, quote, awful but lawful, that it looked bad but officers couldnt control george floyd when they tried to put him in the police car. The defense attorney also played a body cam video in which he says george floyd is heard saying, i ate too many drugs. Listen for yourself. Did you hear what he said . No, i couldnt make it out. Does it sound like he says, i ate too many drugs . Listen again. More on that moment ahead with our panel. Heres what George Floyds brother told my colleague, gabe
Sorry, you were there the entire time until he was loaded into the ambulance, correct . Correct. At some point you made i guess the question is there. You made that video available to them, correct . Correct. And, you know, why did you think it was important to record that . Because memories of witnesses are never going to be as good as a video. So you wanted to have it to preserve. It wasnt conscious, but im sure thats why anybody takes a video. Yeah. Just bear with me a second while i try to read my own handwriting. After recording that video you stopped recording at some point, correct . I dont remember. Obviously you did stop at some point. Yeah. And and and eventually the ambulance took mr. Floyd away. Correct. And then earlier i said wed come back to the moment in the previous video in exhibit 11 when the ambulance left and you were Still Standing on the sidewalk. Umhum is that yes . Yes. And we saw you just standing there. Whats going through your mind as youre standing there .
