Hey, Catherine.

Hey, you're doing okay?

Yeah, yeah, I just watched the report of the second autopsy. the

independent autopsy of George Floyd that his family initiated.

What are the stakes of the autopsy

what are the stakes of the autopsy report?

There are legal stakes here and obviously political stakes and obviously the country is writing for what looked very clearly like a murder, homicide, the person is being charged with homicide.

Then there was this odd brief four sentence, a summary of preliminary medical examiner findings,

which loosely implicated the possibility of chronic diseases and possible intoxicants or potential intoxicants without actually saying that the

person, you know, so it's not likely at all obviously, but in a court of law, obviously, if someone, if it turned out that he had a, there's no reason to think this, but a lethal dose of some poison or you know or some drug or that he

had happened to have a heart attack at that exact moment. Right right

right yes there's no reason to think that but you don't you

don't convict a person of homicide until you have you know an autopsy report that

says yeah the thing that you clearly thought was the cause is indeed the cause.

And so just throwing these other potential possibilities out there made, you know, it was just confusing.

It's like, did they know something we don't did they find ricin in his blood or something why if

they did why would they not say that and it said there was no physical evidence of asphyxia.

And it attribute the first autopsy attributed his death to what?

It said likely due to a combination of the physical force that was put on his neck in combination with underlying

hypertensive heart disease and potential are possible in toxins.

So it was very, very vague,

but it only added to the feeling
