MEDICAL EXAMINER DAVID FOWLER IS PATHETIC: THE KNEELING KILLED GEORGE FLOYD.

ICHEOKU says a tortfeasor takes his victim as he finds him. So it does not matter whether George Floyd would have died an hour later or a day after or even within a month down the line had Derek Chauvin not knelt on his neck. That possibility is totally irrelevant in the criminal prosecution against former police officer Derek Chauvin going on in Minneapolis Minnesota. The only relevant thing is that the kneeling deprived George Floyd's lungs of life sustaining oxygen by asphyxiated him and it ended his life. 

So, it does not matter whether George Floyd's "heart condition and drug use" played a "significant role" or the "traces of fentanyl and methamphetamines in his blood", as well as "possible carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust fumes of the police vehicle outside Cup Foods" contributed to his death. None of these killed George Floyd at the exact time he took his last breath due to lack of oxygen, from not being able to breathe due to the act of Officer Derek Chauvin's kneeling on his neck. Also, the "carbon monoxide poisoning" was caused by Officer Derek Chauvin who put him in the additional predicament. 

The only issue for the jury to determine is whether George Floyd would have died at exactly when he died if not for the "I can't breathe" incident? As we know, so many Americans have heart conditions and many also use drugs including fentanyl and methamphetamines and they all have not died. So, what caused George Floyd's death was whatever facilitated and quickened his death, which in this case was the deprivation of oxygen to his lungs through knee asphyxiation by Derek Chauvin. The defense argument is comparable to somebody shooting a person with a gun and arguing that the victim died of other inherent conditions which the victim  was suffering and not as a result of the gun shot. It is a very silly argument, admitted the defense lawyer has a very difficult case and is therefore throwing anything to see what could possibly create a reasonable doubt in at least one juror and result in a hung jury. 

Therefore it appears that defense witness, former Maryland medical examiner David Fowler, sold his conscience when he testified that the kneeling by Derek Chauvin did not kill George Floyd. It was such a pitiful sight to behold, watching him mouth off that statement and he should have been asked whether himself or even Derek Chauvin could have survived if placed in similar situation and for that length of time. Anyway, all these pontifications are to a large extent somewhat moot already because Derek Chauvin is as good as convicted and he will be convicted. Only a formal constitutional due process prosecution is going on with his prosecution; and only his conviction will save Minneapolis from being engulfed in a huge bonfire and possibly the rest of the country, if otherwise. 

The video alone is more than enough evidence and practically the only evidence that actually matters in the case; and it is sufficient on itself to secure a guilty verdict. ICHEOKU says that the fate of Derek Chauvin is literally sealed, he will be convicted and he will do time in the big house for the killing of George Floyd. He did it and it is beyond reasonable doubt. It is only the degree of homicide for which he will be convicted and the length of time he will serve in prison as a result that are the only two variables yet to be decided. It is possibly what the defense lawyer is working on to see if he could somewhat mitigate both by lowering them and in that way, somehow help his client with a lesser conviction and in doing a lesser time in prison. ICHEOKU says a plea deal would have been the best practice here; but hey, who knows what forced the trial to go on.
