So I have not paid any attention to the trial for a couple weeks what is the unbiased take on will the cop get off or is he gonna get hung in the town square? Is it looking good for the cop or bad?
 
I could be totally off here, but there could be a difference between asphyxiating because there's not enough oxygen in your blood and asphyxiating because there's not enough oxygen going to your brain.

The former automatically means the latter, but the converse doesn't necessarily hold.

If the arteries to the brain were blocked, then you could have the one without the other, but the latter isn't called asphyxia, it would be the "blood choke" that the MMA guy was sperging about.
 
A mistrial might actually be the worst possible outcome here.

The prosecution looks like a bunch of absolute fuckups, and there could well be extrajudicial bullshit carried out by angry people against the people involved.

Never mind that neither side is actually vindicated in any sense here, a mistrial potentially turns what was already a powder keg into a fucking nuclear bomb.
 
Any idea what George Floyd's brother is eating recently?

So have we confirmed one way or another that we won't wake up tomorrow to a Mistrial announcement? Because it's not gonna happben but christ it'd be funny if it did.
The prosecution won't ask for a mistrial on their own error, and defense may try to get a not-guilty and then if they don't get it request a mistrial on appeal? I have no idea how this stuff works.
 
I feel like the 98% levels or whatever don't mean much in this case because of the ventilation he received on the way to the hospital. I tried looking at journal articles on asphyxiation's effects on oxygen levels in the blood, but I found nothing on levels after attempted resuscitation and whether or not it even matters.

It matters in regards to reasonable doubt, and at this point nobody can even agree on what killed him.
