Summary

The killing of George Floyd has rocked the US and sparked protests around the world. Police officers are rarely charged with Murder in discharging their duties and there is no disagreeing that what Derek Chauvin did was a crime and not policing.  There was outrage at the charges filed, third-degree Murder and Second Degree Manslaughter. Breaking down what these changes mean, what the murder and manslaughter statues look like in Minnesota, and how they apply to this case will hopefully be a helpful step in understanding what is happening. When dealing with the prosecution of a Police Officer who was acting in the line of duty there are additional defenses available to them when they are prosecuted, I talk about those too.

Well, a quick aside before we even jump into the intro for today's episode.

0:07.0

I say it in the episode that information was going to continue to come out and it has. In this episode we are

0:15.6

talking about the killing of George Floyd, the criminal charges, the

complaint, and the autopsies. As you will hear later in the episode I talk about the private

autopsy that the family had done and the autopsy done by the medical

examiner of Hennepin County. The final Hnepin County Medical Examiners autopsy has come out since I recorded.

0:38.4

It does list the cause of death as a homicide, meaning at the hands of another, and states that George Floyd

by law enforcement officers.

0:54.6

They also listed other significant conditions, including heart disease,

0:58.3

hypertension, and listed fentanyl intoxication and recent methamphetamine use in their final findings.

This is different from what you're going to hear me talk about later in the episode because this

Just keep that in mind when I talk about the autopsy later in the episode
