I dont think the jury is going to see much of a difference between where the knee was and I think if the prosecution spent a lot of time trying to explain things out it would have helped very little and probably would have been too in the weeds for the jury to care.
Good job out of the defense, but I don't think it scored that many points because of the end result. If Floyd had lived, that would have been enough for a jury to probably say the cop wasn't "excessive" but in a case where even fellow cops are saying he went to far I dont see it much mattering.

That’s fair. I’ll readily admit I have no idea how the jury will receive it.

It does give a juror who wants to acquit a peg to hang it on, though. Some people are just looking for a rationalization.
My evidence prof in law school learned long ago from his days as an AUSA that you never want to know why the jury decided the way they did. He lost a case that should've been a slam dunk. He got a call the next day from one of the juror's who wanted to tell him why they decided the way they did. He begged off and said that's ok, I'm sure you had your reasons. Juror insisted, he begged off again, juror kept pounding away at it so finally he said fine. Juror said "We just didn't think it was fair that you got to put on all your evidence and the other side didn't."
That's right, the defense's choice to not put on evidence earned them the acquittal.
A family friend was on a jury 40 or 50 years ago for some minor civil case as a 20-something recent college grad. She voted for the side with the better looking attorney.Last edited by unofan; 04-07-2021, 01:16 PM.

And the prosecution just scored a major goal.
The use of force expert from the LAPD said that it's not necessarily the knee to the neck, it's the fact that he was using downward force on the upper torso. That alone is what can cause someone to suffocate.
By the way, the other day when they were asking about the specifics of the prone position with handcuffs, they said that putting hands behinds someone's back can cause their breathing to become difficult. I encourage everyone to try this. Put your wrists tightly together behind your back and try breathing even sitting up straight. It's markedly more difficult. Now try it on the floor face down. Now imagine a 170+ lb person kneeling on your back.
If any of the jurors did even the wrists behind the back thing, I don't see how they do anything but vote to convict. It's shocking. Especially when followed by several days of top cops saying "YOU NEED TO GET THEM ON THEIR SIDE ASAP!!!"Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

You’re underselling the weight factor. He’s 170+ and then add in the weight of all his paramilitary gear that cops equip these days. That’s a solid 15+ pounds. It may not sound like much, but when you’re at your limit it means the world.
100% agree. It's a lot.
