chinigz posted:riddle me this, as a non american law knower. The standard of proof in a criminal trial is fairly high, if defense can raise the possibility that Floyd died of an overdose and point to the autopsy that shows fentanyl in the blood - doesn't that prevent them reaching 'beyond reasonable doubt' and Chauvin could get off some or all of the charges? If you shoot at somebody and have really terrible aim; the guy isn't even bothering to doge your bullets; and he gets hit by a car and dies, it's murder on your part. The defense has two avenues of attack: that knee-on-neck-9-minutes is an appropriate and usually safe maneuver, or Hail Mary and hope that the jury ignores instructions and decides that killing a black druggie is fine.
