I didn't manage to catch all of the defence's opening statement but what is the obsession with referring to supposed pre-existing heart issues? Unless I'm interpreting this whole thing wrong, are they trying to claim that cause of death was from something other than the officer's knee on George's neck?

Anyway, in the UK, we have something called the 'thin skull' rule, where you ought to take the victim as you find him. In other words, if he has pre-existing conditions that makes him more likely to die in a certain predicament than the average person, that does NOT absolve the perpetrator from escaping justice. You should have "known" he had that condition.

i mean....that's the point of the defense.

off rip tho, the prosecution's opening statement was far better. but i know there's some racists on that jury and/or folks who claim to not know what white privilege is :comeon:
Not only was the prosecution statement better the visual the video in it’s entirety pretty but buried any defense of that cop... the defense attorney will do his best juelzing for the next 2-3 weeks
