Derek Chauvin Files State Appeal to Overturn Conviction

espite his obvious innocence, it’s a race against time, as the prosecutors seem determined to ensure that he is murdered in prison.

Conservatives do not doubt that Derek Chauvin was railroaded, a sacrifice at the BLM altar. However, his martyrdom—which almost ended with his death in prison—may finally end. Chauvin has appealed the judgment against him, and, in an excellent turn of events, he’s just been granted an order by Federal Judge Magnuson to be given blood for testing and heart tissue for examination from George Floyd’s autopsy. The blood tests and tissue examinations may help establish Floyd’s actual cause of death. But of course, the appeal is about much more than a single piece of evidence.

As a reminder of the events surrounding George Floyd’s death and the abuse prosecution that followed, Alpha News, a conservative internet news agency in deep blue Minneapolis, created two excellent films to show the basis for their condemnation, The Fall of Minneapolis and Minnesota v We the People.

I’ve written frequently about the fact that both the medical examiner and the prosecutor were wrong in their contentions about George Floyd’s cause of death. (See, e.g., here and here.) I have even done a video demonstration to show that there is no way that Chauvin’s way of restraining Floyd could have killed him and gone on the record stating that Chauvin is innocent of wrongdoing.

Based on my medical experience, the available autopsy information, and an experiment replicating the last minutes of Floyd’s life, I’ve asserted since the beginning that the reasonable cause of Floyd’s death was sudden death from cardiac arrest brought on by excitement, agitation, exertion, and severe heart disease, all of which were aggravated by intoxication with fentanyl and methamphetamine.

I don’t know why anyone would be a police officer in a blue city.

Unless one wanted to shuffle around and ignore crime, show up late and back 500 feet from anything serious, work 20 and retire with a generous pension. Blue cities are filling their police ranks with affirmative hires doing just that.

Awhile back I watched a YouTube video of some guy on a New York City sidewalk talking to two young NYPD cops.

The conversation was polite. But both of the cops sounded like they were mentally challenged. It really surprised me. Perhaps that’s all New York can get to sign up these days.

I don't recall all the details of the medical examiner's report. I do recall that it listed fentanyl and meth having been found in his blood.I also recall that it was noted that there was evidence of heart disease...presumably caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and/or bad genes.

Did the cop's lawyer focus on the autopsy report to any degree? And if so what did he say about it?
