Derek Chauvin Trial - Day 9 - Livestream

I remember seeing that Chauvin and Floyd both worked at the same nightclub and knew each other, was that ever proven true or false?

It hasn't been brought up in the trial yet, but it was mentioned in MSM. BBQ shared earlier about it. :)

Thanks

This is the other leg of Chauvin's the prosecution is alleging suppressed Floyd's ability to breathe in addition to his being in a face-down (prone) position.

Just to clarify for those who don't want to look it up: the reason his other leg is off Floyd's neck is because this is where he was getting up from an almost totally constant position that was blocked or not otherwise in view until this moment. There is no evidence his leg shifted. He is getting up. His right leg hasn't been lifted.

His right leg was largely on Floyd's elbow and slightly off the side of his back. It was not on the center of his torso as implied by the prosecution and reenacted by Steven Crowder. It was did not look like it could conceivably have hindered his ability to inhale. This is the best view we have of his position and I think the defense has failed Chauvin if they haven't countered the claims with this footage yet.

I did post this before, but I've forgotten how this site works so didn't use imgur or the tags so it is not shown for the lazy. I haven't been here for years. Previously posted anonymously, and even then only came by once every 6 months. It confirms what I say. I only posted the picture above as an alternate to the one I already posted as it shows I think the position in the elbow better. But the fact that he is getting up makes it look unreliable. So once again, here is the other camera. The reason why I had to take a snapshot of the other when Chauvin was getting up was because Keung's hand was in the way from his angle.

Show me proof he was ever positioned substantially over Floyd's lungs.

Even though I believe the officer most likely committed manslaughter (even one shot from his own camera before it cut off showing him grip Floyd's neck in a choke when removing him from the cop car), I will never side with deception. Those 'experts' are frauds.

Same exact position of his leg: on the elbow, slightly on the back. Not as they would portray it as compressing his back, substantially hindering the up and down motion of inhalation/exhalation.

Legal Insurrection's recap of Day 9 is up

from the comments: "Something that stood out to me was that the last state witness, Dr. Smock, testified that he was the “police surgeon” for the Louisville, KY Police Department and often accompanied SWAT teams on assignment/responded to police-involved shootings… which made me think of the Breonna Taylor case from Louisville… in which Benjamin Crump was also the family/civil attorney. Does anyone know if/is it possible Dr. Smock was brought onto the Chauvin case via connections to Crump?"

Answer-- YES.
"This article here might help answer your question. Dr. Smock was in fact involved with the Breonna Taylor case."

The comments on Legal Insurrection are good to read too- quite a few doctors, medical professionals and LE in there who raise very good questions. Yesterday's "expert witnesses" threw out a whole lot of speculative BS that they couched as fact. Let's hope none of it sticks with the jury.

You've got to be a really bad police officer if you don't know the employees at the place you are working. Imagine something happened inside the club; you would have no idea who is friend or foe.

I worked security at a point in my life. I knew everyone on the day and night shift. When I worked security for a construction company, I knew the subcontractors. I m shocked they didn't dig deeper into their relationship.

I agree, but they have had no one step forward and say that. You would think one of the Strippers would want their 15 minutes of fame huh?

Chauvin didn't have to prove he was innocent, he is innocent until proven guilty, the prosecution had to prove he was guilty. So technically going by that he shouldn't have had to do any such test, the prosecution should have especially in light of studies which contradict their conclusions.

Just goes to show all this talk about presumption of innocence, reasonable doubt, etc. is all fucking rubbish.
