I think the prosecutor in the Chauvin case just destroyed the defense's entire questioning [View all]

of the witness who is a MMA fighter. The defense tried to tie in the MMA fighting situations to what was done to George Floyd. As in does someone you've subdued ever come back up to fight, when you let the pressure off from a 'hold'. Obviously he was trying to say Chauvin couldn't risk letting up on Mr. Floyd. The witness said yes.

On re-direct, the prosecutor asked if anyone involved in MMA ever has their hands handcuffed behind their back. Or, is it ever a 3 to 1 situation in a match. Of course, the answer was No.

Boom.
