Derek Chauvin Trial - Day 9 - Livestream

I’m not sure what jurors think. I would be put off by that. The LAPD witness was actually a fair expert witness.

Here we go. Nelson on cross.

small amounts of drugs.

11 ng/ml fentanyl
86 ng/ml morphine
19 ng/ml meth
42 ng/ ml d9c-thc

I do not expect that amount of those drugs in that combination to cause respiratory failure.

Especially since he was having problems breathing before being on the floor.

He was having a panic attack.

That alone is enough to kill.

Correct, Back in November my wife had a panic attack that caused one of her lungs to collapse, she was in ICU for 5 days and an additional two weeks in the hospital.

going by the symptoms

i'd say he was asthmatic.

had a panic attack which caused his asthma to kick in.

he may or not known he was asthmatic, as it can develop in response to viral respiratory disease.

i've seen people almost die due to not being able to breath due to panic attacks.

i doubt this trial will find this outcome.

I've had a few panic attacks. The first few I totally thought I was going to die and that I was having a heart attack and couldn't breathe. After I learned how to manage them, the rest went better, but I could totally see how someone with jammed up arteries, multi-drug cocktail having a panic attack could trigger a heart attack.

Panic attacks are scary stuff.

Lord yes. Especially if you don't know what they are and what's happening.

Nelson seems to be back in the saddle

You should watch police videos on you tube of other people dying from a fentanyl overdosis during arrest. They're not calm at all. Just Google cops arrests naked man on fentanyl. When the cops come he is busy trashing his house. The cops restrain him. If I'm not mistaken, he passes out and dies later.

90% blockage of Carotid Artery in the heart.

Yes. But he doesn’t seem as sharp today. I wondered earlier if he had allergies or was getting a little sick. It’s a long, tough trial and I hope he can hold up.

Yes. His voice sounds a bit better this afternoon vs this morning

It will find an outcome, reasonable doubt an acquittal.

Damn, son.

When we first found out I had hypertension years ago the feeling of that sent me into anxiety attacks several times and it last weeks before we got on the right medicine, and yes there were times I almost blacked out because I couldn't breathe. So this to me seems just as plausible.

i understand mega doses or resistance to it's effects can induce an adverse reaction. he was probably on day 5 of his speed run and took a dose that cause him to have pyschosis. usually happens around the 5th day with speed addicts. this led to panic attacks.

I would say that was certainly a contributing factor to how that day ended for "big Floyd"!

yeh. that isn't something that happens because you're hooping or having a panic attack.. 90% blockage takes some time to develop.

he was a ticking time bomb. chauvin draw the short straw.

Keep in mind Courteney Ross testified they had been clean for a few months.
