Described how those pills made her feel they kept her up all right introduction of the methamphetamine we know from miss ross that in march of 2020 Mr Floyd was seen for a drug overdose. She described how he felt in that instance she said his full body hurt his stomach we know based our d. N. A. From mr haas that he was clean and sober for some time while they were in quarantine. We know that Mr Ross again described Tiki Barber a week before a similar pill that miss ross again described taking the ball a week before a similar pill to the one that they had back in march. Kept her up again and she said she felt like she was going to die. We know again from miss ross those pills were purchased from maurice. She described going to a hotel while Mr Floyd went into the hotel she was on the phone with she heard morrison whose voice. We know. Mr floyd was with Maurice Home on May 25th 22 and. We heard from the Store Clerk Christopher martin he described Mr Floyd as being. His responses were the way. He may have been you know standing around he may have been standing up he may have been able to have communications but Mr Martin clearly described him as being how much. We heard from Shalonda Hell that when they got back into the car right they had a conversation for a few minutes and suddenly Mr Floyd fell asleep all of these things become important hes had trouble they had trouble waking him up she called her daughter for a ride because he couldnt wake her up with Mr Ford up we couldnt keep him away. We heard how Mr Martin described Mr Floyd when he went back to the car and how he was. In he wasnt speaking. He kept putting his head back and shaking his head. We know from peter Chains Body Award camera. Maurice also described that Mr Ford was dozing. We know. That whether Mr Floyd was chewing gum while he was in the court the store. We can also see he was eating a banana. You bought a banana. So we know and we look at this picture. Theres something in Mr Fords. Is it. Is a banana is it drugs. No money. But regardless of whether its drugs bananas or garm in this incident. We know that there were pills in the car we know that there were drugs in the car. We know those pills were later tested to be a combination of methamphetamine and phantom. Thats what was in Mr Fords system its relevant because its what was in his system. Into the pills that were found. We know. At some point Mr Floyd was handcuffed. User about his back. It would have been physically impossible to put anything in his mouth at that. And we know in the Squad Car 320 were pills. We know all those pills were analyzed we know those pills consisted of Fat Known methamphetamine we know that Mr Floyds salad very d. N. A. Was found on those pills. How much fentanyl does it take to kill. This is from the Minneapolis Police departments tree. Approximately 2 to 3 only grams. Smaller than a pack. This is from the squad. You look at these pictures closely during the course of your. Theres a video. Of Mr Floyd. I miss you floyd is is being subdued by and restrained by the police. Mr morris reaches into his bag hes looking through the windows we watched and then throws something that. We know Mr Floyd drugs in his mouth we know that some percentage of that would have been consumed and absorbed into his system we dont know how much he took before. We dont know when he took an earlier dose in relation because fentanyl had actually started to metabolize in his so that knowledge was longer before. For the medical experts to minimize the timing and the amount of illicit drugs that were found in Mr Floyds bloodstream it is just simply incredible to me it is impressive to. Every single doctor testified that relevant to the that the absence of signs of fat no. Overdose were present because he was alert he was talking but it ignores which you want to heal and Maurice Hall says. That he was all of a sudden asleep and difficult to wake up. It ignores the fact that the combination of these 2 Drugs Methamphetamine is a powerful stimulant Fat Know is a powerful sedative they use it for surgery. Every single doctor dismissed outright no. No nothing about this case well it was only point 19 grams then the grams per milliliter its such a small amount of methamphetamine in his system. Its a Visa Constructor it causes the heart arteries to constrict even tighter. Doesnt matter. Every single doctor just brushed it aside. Said it would have no effect. I asked would any of those doctors per scribe elicit math im fat i mean 2 very patients they give it to their children when they give it to their elderly parents with a 90 Percent Blockage of the coronary artery right corner heard or read. A guarantee with the answer is no dr rich is the only one who said i would never recommend to my patients that they take any amount of illicit methamphetamine. It is preposterous. That it is a Preponderance Notion that this did not come into play here. Or a break will of a at a later appear for Argument But Faith in our politics its. Very 30 minutes for logically thank you. And that is the judge calling for a break their search the minutes of while we were hearing the Closing Statement from that the feds hearing from Eric Nelson of course these are the Closing Statements or heard from the prosecution earlier about the trial of derek and the main points that Eric Mileson was bringing up. Really we were just listening to now the issue of drugs so how big a part of the drugs play in the death of George Floyd lets go to aljazeera is John Hendren hes live outside the court in minneapolis certainly quite a lengthy Closing Statement there by Eric Nelson from the defense what did you make of the points that he was raising. Well he made the points that we have expected him to make he said that the cause of death was not Derrick Shoaf in cutting off the windpipe he went through all of the other possibilities what hes trying to do its a create reasonable doubt there is no evidence in this trial that suggests that George Floyd had an overdose but that is what the defense has suggested there they have also suggested that is coronary Artery Disease could have contributed to his direct death although none of the medical experts specifically identified that as related to his death and there was even talk that the Carbon Monoxide from the Police Car that he was with he was prone in front of might have contributed to his death the prosecution really had a a go at each of those assertions almost laughing at the idea of Carbon Monoxide but the defense is doing what its designed to do that is to offer reasonable Doubt And Offer another explanation for why all of these things happened and if they can persuade the jury that Derek Show of and is not the direct cause of the death of George Floyd well then theyve got the reasonable doubt they need in their defense also pointed out that children had to had knowledge that what he was doing would contribute to the death of George Floyd or create the likelihood of that and so they repeatedly hammered on the fact that from show vns perspective being distracted as the defense argued by the crowd things looked very much different than they did from the perspective of the bystanders who were filming it and watching this event so the defense has made a real effort at reasonable doubt trying to battle a way each of these charges in a. I can just quickly run through what those charges are the 2nd Degree Murder Charge is the biggest one of them all it is brings up to 40 years in prison and Thats Death while committing a felony in this case and has salt on George Floyd 3rd Degree Murder would be death caused while performing an intentionally intentional act its imminently dangerous with a reckless disregard for human life. And then 2nd Degree Manslaughter the lesser charge is death caused through negligence within unreasonable risk that with a substantial chance of death or great bodily harm those all sound a lot the same but theyre each a threshold of a crime in this case the prosecution is arguing that all of those apply here that all 3 have been violated so the defense is offering as much reasonable doubt as it can on each of those cases and it remains to be seen whether the jury is convince we were told by the poolers that they were very much paying attention to the prosecutions close we dont have a note on how they were paying attention to the defenses close yet because of the points of the defense makes i mean it really does seem that the factor of drugs that issue is the pivotal watch when it comes to introducing that reasonable doubt as to why it really was the actions of Derek Chauvin that calls that the what that that red coals George Florence that. Thats right and as i say no medical expert has drawn a direct line between the drugs and George Floyds death but what you heard there was Eric Nelsen the Defense Lawyer showing a picture with just how little fentanyl is required to cause death now keep in mind that George Floyds girlfriend testified that he had a high tolerance for these drugs you also had prosecution medical experts who said that they found actually very. Little Fentanyl And Methamphetamine in his system in the case of methamphetamine it was the amount that that would be prescription those rare instances when doctors do prescribe it and in the case of fentanyl it was less than is generally found in the bodies of people who are arrested for being under the influence while driving so the prosecution is going to say that you know all the evidence suggests this had nothing to do with it but remember the defense is only going for reasonable doubt and if they can offer an alternative theory maybe they can persuade some of the jurors to believe that that might have been a contributing factor but as you see theyve really thrown out a number of theories whose Heart Disease it was drugs it was Carbon Monoxide and they can do that because theyre focusing on getting jurors to have just a little bit of doubt it just takes one juror tapped out John Hendren at the stay with us lets just take a listen back now to how the prosecution described the way in which they would show up in continued to kneel on George Floyds thank even as George Floyd became unresponsive he begged George Floyd begged until he could speak no more and the defendant continue. This assault. When he was unable to speak the defendant continued when he was unable to breathe the defendant continued beyond the point that he had a pulse be on the point that he had a pulse the defendant continued this assault 9 minutes and 29 seconds. When the ambulance arrived but ambulance was here. In the defender continued he stayed on top of him sly here for the prosecution there and john of course the defense also made the point that there must have thought you know if you can talk you can breathe when it comes to George Floyd the but here the prosecution really making the point highlighting the fact that there have been kept his knee on George Floyds nick well after George Floyd was responding in any way. Invalid is part of the Prosecution Case what theyre saying is that in addition to a soul king George Floyd in the prosecutions words. The police also had a positive obligation to give him medical aid is soon as they were aware that he was in distress you know what the defense is arguing there is because of the crowd around them that was distracted and they point point out that at the time that George Floyd according to experts drew his last Breath Chauvin was pulling out mace to threaten members of that Bystander Crowd although if you really look at that crowd on the on the sidewalk there are only one maybe 10 people at any given time we dont know how many were on the other side of the street but. The defense is trying to throw everything out there it can in the prosecution is having none of it argument sensually look you can believe your eyes if you watch this video there is a man kneeling on the neck of another man that man eventually dies put 2 and 2 together in the words of Stephen Schweizer he says you know use your common sense believe what you saw and by the way if youre hearing some sawing near me right now thats because these buildings are all boarding up in anticipation of crowds in protest after this trial is over and john i was just about to ask you that because during the Closing Statements by both Prosecution And Defense that was just looking at the screens here in the newsroom and most international news channels not just us channels but most international channels will take it were taking it live so not just the eyes of the states on it but of course the eyes of the world so we can ask you how is that being felt in minneapolis and tell us a little bit more about the security there. Well interestingly we have had protests related to another case not far away in Brooklyn Center where Dante Wright was shot in. Told by a Police Officer this is another an armed black man who apparently seemed to disobeyed police commands climbed back into his car the officer who did that claimed that she intended to use her taser but mistakenly brought out her gun that has sort of rekindled the protests that really werent going on with any force here at the beginning of the trial we have been seeing small protests here in minneapolis where theyve all been peaceful but i think the anticipation it really everyone i talked to here says their concern is for what happens when the verdict comes in the protesters in the streets be happy or will they not youve seen every day civil rights leaders people close to the case like Attorney Benjamin crump the attorney for the floyd family. And reverend Al Sharpton who is here as well holding a News Conference Today those crowds are gathering peacefully for these events but the concern is that this will become far less than peaceful and thats why we have police hundreds of national guard troops here in minneapolis and by the way the same thing is happening in chicago and washington d. C. Downtown chicago is rather boarded up right now all in anticipation of how the crowds will respond to the verdict in this case. 100 with the latest there live outside the course in Minneapolis John for the moment thank you and now the court should resume in about half an hour from now we will go back to minneapolis that starts again.
