Below is a common error. Here are the facts: Dr. Andrew Baker, the Chief Medical Examiner for Hennepin County (who was the only person that conducted the autopsy of George Floyd) did not agree with the prosecution’s evolving theories of the cause of Floyd’s death. He did not find that Floyd died from a vascular restraint (blood choke), which was the prosecution’s theory at the beginning of trial. And he did not agree that Floyd died of positional asphyxia, which became the prosecution’s fall back theory when, in the middle of trial and to prosecutors’ utter surprise, their blood choke theory imploded in real time (due to it being physiologically impossible to kill somebody by compressing only one of their carotid arteries). Baker’s autopsy provided zero evidentiary support for everything the prosecutors wanted the jury to believe. But it’s worse than that. Baker also found a lack of evidence where one would expect to find evidence had the prosecution’s theories been correct. Baker called this absence of evidence the “pertinent negatives,” and they all - ALL - worked against the prosecution.
