John Hinderaker of Power Line links to a George Parry article at The American Spectator, Parry in turn has reproduced an official document from Hennepin County Attorney's Office. If reproduced accurately, it documents to the prosecution file of State v. Derek Chauvin the results of the findings of the County's Chief Medical Examiner, a Dr. Andrew Baker.
Chauvin was the police officer who knelt on the neck of George Floyd, triggering the Minneapolis riots and secondary riots across the country. The report, dated June 1, says Floyd had a fatal level of fentanyl in his blood. But the report wasn't released until August 25. Here is the money quote:
AB (the medical examiner) said that if Mr. Floyd had been found dead in his home (or anywhere else) and there were no other contributing factors he would conclude that it was an overdose death.
Given this, negligent homicide is probably the most they'll be able to charge Chauvin with. If they play to the mob and go for murder one, Chauvin will walk.
Whoever sat on this document for nearly 3 months is responsible for much misery and death.
