As Americans are about to discover, the contemptible appetite for mob justice will extend beyond a defendant being tried for a crime. Despite former police officer Derek Chauvinâs conviction, the mob has turned its attention toward Dr. David Fowler, an internationally renowned forensic pathologist who served as the state of Marylandâs chief medical examiner from 2002 to 2019. Why? Because Fowler offered his services as an expert witness for the defense, and he had the âtemerityâ to offer a somewhat differing opinion on the cause of George Floydâs death than that of other experts. Fowler testified that the primary cause of Floydâs death was a sudden heart rhythm disturbance occurring while he was restrained by police precipitated by an underlying heart disease. He also testified that the fentanyl and methamphetamine in Floydâs system, along with possible carbon monoxide poisoning from auto exhaust, were contributing factors.
