19. If your courtroom experience matches your handle...

... you know that there will be "experts" on both sides. The question is what the jury hears and what they consider to be a reasonable doubt.

It took me 30 seconds to find a medical study documenting a 12.5% short-term mortality rate for hypertensive emergencies... and the reported BP is well above the threshold (180/120). The fact that 87.5% survive at least a few days does not mean that it isn't a deadly emergency.

Add that to video evidence that Floyd was unable to breathe before anyone touched him at all? Doesn't change my conclusions as to the likely cause of death... but causes me to question whether a dozen jurors will unanimously agree with me.
