This whole thing is a farce. Even if you concede to the idea that Chavin had his knee improperly placed so it was on his neck and not his shoulder and even if you concede he held that for too long so it is POSSIBLE that he caused Floyd's death it doesn't change anything. The fact that there is at LEAST a 50% or better chance Floyd died purely from a drug overdose that had nothing to do with Chauvin's knee is the very definition of reasonable doubt. Its impossible to prove that Chauvin killed him. Thus you can't convict him on anything based on facts. Any conviction is purely political and the judge should set it aside. This is freaking stupid.
