That's a lie, he had no lethal amounts of fentanyl in his system. If that's the case, why didn't his lawyer find a doctor to say so on the stand? Let's make a deal, you stop telling outright lies and i'll "troll" elsewhere?

He had a large amount of fentanyl in his system, whether or not it was lethal can not be determined but it is not outside of reason to assume that it played a large part in his death. People die every day from small amounts of fentanyl.

    Floyd had a history of swallowing his drug stash when confronted by police. The time works pretty well. He also had methamphetamine in his system and a 90% blocked coronary artery to his heart. He was a ticking time bomb. You can't possibly hold a cop responsible for that even if the restraint is what put him over the edge, there is no way a cop could be reasonably assumed to treat every person as if they could die of a heart attack or overdose at any moment.

    Floyd had a history of swallowing his drug stash when confronted by police.

    And yet, there was no evidence he swallowed his "drug stash" when he was stopped by the cop.

    A cop does not have to act like that, all he has to do is not put his knee on a guy's neck and back for over 8 minutes when he's already in handcuffs.

    While Floyd's toxicology report did reveal fentanyl present, expert witnesses at his murder trial have stated there was not enough to be considered fatal or impact his breathing and oxygen levels. Floyd died due to lack of oxygen from the force of Chauvin's knee on his neck.

    Too bad the cop's lawyer did not bring up the fact that he "has a history of swallowing his drug stash".

    "Mr. Floyd died from a low level of oxygen, and this caused damage to his brain that we see. And it also caused a PEA (pulseless electrical activity) arrhythmia that caused his heart to stop," he told the court. He explained Floyd's body position on the street, handcuffs pulling his arms back and a knee on his neck, back and sides, led to his low oxygen levels.

    No evidence besides him saying "I ate too many drugs man."

    The defense attorney for the former Minneapolis police officer on trial in the death of George Floyd tried Wednesday to show that Floyd yelled "I ate too many drugs” as three officers pinned him to the ground.

    Attorney Eric Nelson didn't get the clear confirmation he was seeking, but he may have planted a seed in jurors' minds anyway as he seeks to sow reasonable doubt about the prosecution's case against Derek Chauvin.

    “Does it sound like he says, ‘I ate too many drugs?’” Nelson asked.

    “I can’t make that out,” Stiger replied. Nelson let the subject drop with Stiger, but replayed the clip and posed the question again for the lead investigator from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Senior Special Agent James Reyerson.

    Stiger is the defendant's own expert witness and even she cant say with certainty that Floyd said he ate his drugs. Lemme guess, you hear "what he really said" where as the defendant's expert witness can not say with certainty that Floyd mentioned eating his drugs?

    But prosecutor Matthew Frank wasn't going to let that stand. He got Reyerson to say he had not closely listened to that passage before. After a break to regroup, Frank replayed a longer clip from the same body cam video,

    “Having heard it in context, you’re able to tell what Mr. Floyd is saying there?” Frank asked.

    “I believe Mr. Floyd was saying, ‘I ain’t do no drugs,’" Reyerson replied.

    Floyd said, "I aint do no drugs".

    Of course, everyone knows if they say anything that could break the case for the defense their life is over. That's one of biggest reasons why this was a kangaroo court and this society is a joke. You know it's the truth. You're just agree with it.

    Too bad the cop did not hire a Jewish lawyer, he would have won his case if he did being that Floyd had meth in his system. Jews make the best lawyers just like they make the best doctors.

    He had a large amount of fentanyl in his system,

    That's a lie.

    fentanyl isn't what killed Floyd, and the amount in his system was similar to that found in people who took the drug and were arrested for DUI, but didn't die.

    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.

    He stated because fentanyl typically slows down a person's breathing, the drug was not a contributing factor based on his calculations of Floyd's breathing rate based on witness video, which at the time appeared about the same as a healthy individual.

    Your biggest mistake is relying on USAToday to "fact check" for you. 11 nanograms per milliliter is definitely enough to kill people. Here are some fentanyl overdose deaths recorded at the UCSF, two of which were measured at 11 ng/ml. Patients hospitalized for OD typically had 0.5–9.5 ng/mL. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/wr/mm6604a4.htm

      We know he took a dose of fentanyl that was large enough to kill a normal person outright, and also had a meth in his system as well as heart disease. There is zero reason to believe his trachia was somehow compressed which caused him to choke to death when the autopsy showed nothing that would indicate that and pressure was applied from the back of the neck.

      [–]EuropeanAwakening14 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

      Really, so how much fentanyl would it take to kill Floyd? Plus the meth?

        So, speedballs don't kill people? It matters because he had an amount of fentanyl in his system that regularly kills people, shitbird.

        So, we can't know how much fentanyl it would take to kill him, but we know for a fact that what he did have wouldn't have any effect on him at all? Do you think it is unreasonable to have doubts about the motivations of these "expert" witnesses?

          It's not that simple.

          https://www.healthline.com/health/speedball-drug#risks Increased chance of overdose For starters, most fatal overdoses result from using more than one substance at a time.

          According to a 2018 National Vital Statistic ReportTrusted Source, cocaine and heroin are in the top 10 drugs most frequently involved in overdose deaths in the United States.

          Plus, since the effects of each substance might be muted when you speedball, you might not feel like you’re that high.

          That false sense of relative sobriety may lead to frequent re-dosing and, eventually, overdosing.

          Respiratory failure Respiratory failure is another risk when you speedball.

          The stimulating effects of cocaine cause your body to use more oxygen, while the depressant effects of heroin slow your breathing rate.

          This combo significantly increases your chance of experiencing respiratory depression or respiratory failure. In other words, it can cause fatally slow breathing.

          Fentanyl contamination Coke and heroin aren’t always pure and can contain other substances, including fentanyl.

          Fentanyl is a powerful, synthetic opioid. It’s similar to morphine but 100 times more potent. This means it takes very little of it to produce a high, so it’s added to certain substances to reduce costs.

          Most people associate fentanyl contamination with opioids, but it’s making its way into other substances.

          A 2019 reportTrusted Source by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) highlights several cases of unintentional fentanyl overdoses by people who thought they were just snorting coke.

          Other factors There are a few other risks to consider when it comes to speedballing:

          Cocaine affects the heart and cardiovascular system. It may increase your chance of a heart attack. Both drugs have a high potential for addiction and can lead to tolerance and withdrawal.

          lol! Take a second look on that chart, those who died of fentanyl overdoses in the link you provided also had other drugs in their system when they overdosed and died.

          Your very own link shows that the person who died from 9.5 ng/mL of fentalyl in their system, that very same person had BE, cocaine, levamisole, naloxone, norfentanyl, THC-COOH in their system.

          The person who died at the .5 range you referenced, well, that person did not only have fentalyn in their system. That person also had BE, cocaethylene, cocaine, cotinine, EME, levamisole, lidocaine, naloxone, nicotine and norcocaine in their system.

          Right, like George Floyd who had meth in his system, a bad heart and probably nicotine and THC.

          The autopsy results have been known since before the trial even began. You are definitely trolling, not even Reddit leftists have this much tunnel vision.

          The autopsy results have been known since before the trial even began.

          Shown what? The fact that he did not have enough fentanyl in his blood to be considered fatal?

          You are definitely trolling, not even Reddit leftists have this much tunnel vision.

          Talk about projecting, you're just upset about the verdict and don't want to accept the fact that fentanyl did not kill Floyd.

          The autopsy results showed that he had lethal concentrations of fentanyl in his system.

          [–]AngryBannedRedditor 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

          If you're going to reference the CDC link again, please be sure to include the other drugs reported in the system of people who died of a fentanyl overdose.
