Every single comment I've seen has been that the facts are clear.
The question is simply whether there are laws that made this horrific act unlawful by a police officer.
I think the defense is going to shoot to add ANY doubt that this was a murder to get that charge removed. If the defense can call a single medical professional raising question whether anything in Floyd's system could have contributed to his death, murder seems out to me.
But I cannot believe the manslaughter charge is going to be easy to avoid.
