This week an appellate brief was filed on behalf of political prisoner Derek Chauvin.
As you no doubt recall, Derek Chauvin was sent to prison for 20+years for not clairvoyantly discerning that career criminal, 5 time loser, George Floyd was dying from drug overdose combined with Covid and overall bad health. Reading the 82 page brief, the one thing I’d love to hear would be the TRUE reasons why the Minnesota State Coroner changed his autopsy findings.
Incredibly this politburo fascist show trial took place in a court house venue surrounded by hostile maniacs demanding blood. A change of venue motion even more incredibly was denied…
The chief piece of evidence exonerating Chauvin, the page from the Minneapolis Police Manual showing an illustration of the proper method of restraining an intractable subject, that is, with a knee applied to the upper back, was denied entry into evidence by the judge.
Chauvin was publicly declared guilty by the President, the Governor, the Mayor, the Senators and every other Democrat office holders BEFORE a single item of evidence was put out to challenge in court.
Justice is a fleeting concept in Minnesota. The state actually refused to provide a public defender to represent Chauvin on appeal. With no attorney, Chauvin would have been denied an appeal. Then, William F. Mohrmon stepped forward that this legal travesty be contested. Kudos to this attorney whom I am sure is not a very popular guy right now in Minnesota.
Mohrmon’s appeal is an artfully drafted brief. This time around Chauvin has a talented attorney, and I predict that some of the charges will be summarily tossed, and/or his remand for a new non-Kremlin-like trial will so ordered.

George Floyd died of cardiac arrest likely caused by having four times the lethal limit of fentanyl in his blood together with severely occluded arteries. Speaking of reasonable doubt. Any fair appellate court will vacate the judgment and order a new trial. Read the appellate brief, and you might find yourself agreeing. The trial was fraught by legal mistakes which include time and venue.
Did any of you read the brief? So you are certain, Chauvin’s knee killed Floyd? Isn’t there reasonable doubt that his heart could have given out after vigorously resisting arrest as well as his body being under the stress of four times the lethal limit of fentanyl. That however is not the main argument in the appellate grief. There were grievous errors of procedure which contravened Chauvin’s right to due process. Chauvin may get a new trial.
And a pathologist testified that Floyd died under the weight of Chauvin. There was no reason to have your knee (and all of your weight) on top of a cuffed man laying prone. He wasn’t going anywhere.
If the cops had him on the ground prone without a knee on his neck and he went unconscious and died, or left him in the car and died, that’d be one thing.
Chauvin weighs how much do we think? 200 lbs let’s say? You think a knee on your neck with that much weight for over 9 minutes wouldn’t kill you?
Just stop Bikki. You’re defending a white cop who broke the law. You’re defending him because the guy he killed was black and had a prior record. Doesn’t mean he deserved the death penalty.
The standard for conviction was reasonable doubt. That he had ingested four times the legal limit of fentanyl easily establishes reasonable doubt. Additionallly, he had severe occlusions in his heart. He fought with the police resisting arrest, and Chauvin’s knee on his back was a legal form of restraint. Chauvin broke no laws whatsoever.
First, the autopsy proved your entire premise incorrect.
Fake statement. What is the “legal limit of fentanyl”? It’s a schedule 2 narcotic. There is no “legal limit.” Be definition, it’s illegal without a prescription. If you possess it without a prescription in any amount, you’re breaking the law. As little as 2 mg can be fatal in a smaller person. " The recommended serum concentration for analgesia is 1–2 ng/ml and for anaesthesia it is 10–20 ng/ml.
" Blood tests conducted as part of Floyd’s post-mortem autopsy revealed 11 nanograms per milliliter, or ng/ml, of fentanyl present. According to expert witnesses, this wasn’t enough to be considered fatal"
Chauvin broke no laws. He applied a restraint mode that was legal as pictured in his police handbook.
Dr. Baker changed his autopsy findings after meeting with prosecutors.
Argument from Appellate Brief:
Baker issued his findings on Mary 26, 2020. In his autopsy, Baker found In
addition, Floyd’s lungs were two to three times their normal weight. Id. Floyd had
cannaboids, fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system. Id. Floyd had recently been ill
with COVID-19 and tested positive in his autopsy. TT-4879. Floyd had arteriosclerotic and
hypertensive heart disease, hypertension, and sickle cell trait. TT-4880. Floyd’s had an
enlarged heart due to high blood pressure and 90% and 75% constriction of his right and
left coronary arteries–all of which Baker admitted could cause sudden death. TT-4904-
05. Floyd had no neck injuries. TT-4919-4920. The fentanyl amount in Floyd (11.3
nonograms) was three times the amount considered fatal. TT-4926-4929. Baker admitted
the methamphetamine in Floyd’s toxicology report caused Floyd’s heart to work harder
thereby increasing risk of heart failure. TT-4909. Baker admitted Floyd had no evidence
of asphyxia and no neck or back injuries at all–i.e., no strangulation. TT-4818-20;4929.
Despite these admissions, Baker concluded the cause of Floyd’s death was
cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck
compression”–i.e., Floyd’s heart stopped due to the officers arresting him including
compressing his neck even though there was no evidence Floyd suffered any neck
injuries. TT-4888.
Poor Chauvin broke no laws, has no money, no retirement, and must live what possibly will be the remainder of his life in prison due to a Kremlin Show Trial. Liberals turning decent Americans into political prisoners. Same thing is happening with regard to the the minor political riot of Jan 6. Meanwhile, the BLMers walk Scot free
