Clinton Jaws - Derek Chauvin Might Be Found Not Guilty

Episode Date: April 13, 2021

My initial thoughts of the George Floyd, Derek Chauvin incident that occurred in May 2020 had me convinced a jury would find Derek Chauvin guilty. After watching the trial I am surprised of what I have learned about the investigation and evidence that has been founded by the defense. I find myself learning new evidence each day as the trial lingers that switches my opinion back and forth. Were the police officers actions unreasonable? Possibly. But there is a chance that Derek Chauvin might be found not guilty. Clinton Jaws explains why. #GeorgeFloyd #Chauvin #ChauvinTrial https://www.clintonjaws.com/

Clinton Jaws here, guys. I haven't been around lately. I took a little bit of a break. I rested the mind a bit because I've been, I've been, you know, when I watch everything that I watch, I feel like I need to take a break from it. And when I relive another cop's experience and what they're going through,

I'm not complaining about it, but it's nice to take a break from it. And I know a lot of people are trying to get a hold of me. Thank you. I want you to. And I say I'm going to get back to you and I haven't gotten back to you. It's just taking a little bit of break from a breather. And I've been focused on the biggest case.

The biggest case that's going on right now. And that's the George Floyd trial. This thing is interesting. I can't stop watching it. I watch it all day long. Yeah, so I'm not really taking much of a break. I. When it happened back in May, I didn't watch the video. I didn't want to watch the video because I didn't want to see a man murdered by a police officer. So I didn't watch the video.

I tried to watch the video. I watched about 10 seconds of it. I watched what most people watched and I shut it off after 10 seconds. When I seen the knee on the neck, that's all I needed to see, I didn't want to see anymore. I formed the opinion that everybody else formed in the opinion in the entire world. That the cop messed up and murdered George Floyd.

The reason why we're here right now with that trial. The reason why there were protests for close to a year. The reason why there was murders. Black people getting murdered, white people getting murdered, black officers getting murdered, white officers getting murdered,

businesses destroyed, people dying, billions of billions of dollars worth of protest was because of the knee on the neck. And I'm watching this trial. And I don't know. It's interesting to me because I used to be a cop. So I find it interesting. I can't take my eyes off of it because I'm finding out things that I didn't know before.

The prosecution has been talking about knee on the neck. The entire world has been talking about knee on the neck. We're going to ask at the end of this case that you find Mr. Chauvin guilty for his excessive use of force against George Floyd that was an assault that contributed to taking this light and for engaging in an eminently dangerous behavior of putting a knee on the neck. Knee on the neck, right? That's what they opened up with. That's what they've been saying the whole time. This is just a video about what I didn't know. Okay? You form your own opinion. But it's amazing what I'm finding out. It's just it's interesting. Here you can see down in that area the leg placement of the officer, correct? Yes, sir. And based on your observation of this photograph, it appears that the shin is coming from the top of the shoulder

across the shoulder plate, correct? Yes, sir. Did you know about that? The defense cross-examined their use of force expert, and the use of force expert admits where the knee is on the back. It's kind of a big deal, isn't it? Would it have made a difference? Probably not.

If I had known, if people in Minneapolis would have known that the knee was on the back below the neck. Maybe at one point was on the neck, but a large portion of the time that they had floyd down that police officer's knee was on his back and all the pro- I don't even think the chief knew that I don't think he even really looked at the video he just looked at the 10 seconds that I watched I'm just guessing I don't know but isn't that it's interesting isn't it what you're learning from this trial is interesting you can form your own opinion at the end I haven't formed an opinion.

I'm just a little bit surprised to hear what I'm hearing. The police chief came out and said his behavior was unacceptable. Fired him, arrested him, charge him with murder, second degree, third degree manslaughter, and said that he breached policy. Because they're not trained that way, guys. Those police officers there are not trained that way. He breached policy, he broke policy, everything he did was wrong.

I'm going to show you a clip, okay? But understand that the chief of police came out and said he breached policy. They aren't trained that way. The officers were holding Floyd in what attached MPD training materials call maximal restraint technique. The training materials include a photograph of an officer with his knee on the suspect's neck. This comes despite MPD chief Madera Eradondo repeatedly saying after the death of George Floyd that officers are not trained to put their knee on a suspect's neck. Lane's body camera transcript also reveals paramedics were confused,

leading to a delay in response. One says to Lane, they thought they were responding to a non-emergency mouth injury and couldn't find the victim. Quote, and then one of your officers was like, hey, hey, ding-dongs, you're at the wrong spot. Lou Braguse, Carol Levin News. Well, the Minneapolis Police Department would not comment on the training material, saying they've been asked not to comment on the open case.

The chief said they're not trained that way, but they're trained that way. The chief said that he breached every policy. The chief said that. But they're trained that way. Those police officers are trained that way. So now when you watch the video, you're watching a cop following his training. Possibly. The trial's not over.

Maybe there's more to it, of course. But possibly. he was falling and it was his training. Why wouldn't the police, why wouldn't the chief just come out and say that to begin with? Because he didn't know. Even the chief didn't know. That his officers were trained that way. He could have came out and said, hey, nah, it doesn't even matter.

He could have said, we're trained that way and we need to change it. I don't like the knee around the neck area or the back area. But the point is, I didn't know about this. that the cop was following doing what he was trained to do. And the biggest, the most amazing part is the chief saying that he breached policy. This is the most interesting trial, guys. You got to watch it. And when cross-examined, the chief was cross-examined,

he had a hard time to admit that Chauvin's knee was on his back. Watch this. I say that from the perspective of Officer King's body camera, it appears that Officer Chauvin's knee was more on Mr. Floyd's shoulder blade. Um, yes. And I should have looked at that earlier. Another thing I didn't know about was drugs. Is it possible that Floyd ate too many drugs? See if you can tell me what Mr. Floyd says in this instance. I hate it was a lot of his drugs.

Please. Ah, ha. I hate him. I'm sorry. Please. You hear what he said? No, I couldn't make it out. Does it sound like he says,

I ate too many drugs, listening again? I cut it off too short, but his reply was, yes. Yes, it sounds like that. I ate too many drugs. It's pretty amazing, isn't it?

He ate too many drugs. after that happened and this is defense cross-examining the prosecution's witness they have a recess and when you have a recess in court what happens is that witness goes back to the prosecution they sit down because they're on the same side and he goes you know it's possible that he said I ain't do any drugs so then they recalled them back and prosecution interviewed him and he said, yeah, it sounds like I ain't doing any drugs. But it's possible that he said, I ate too many drugs. And this is why.

Six months later, after the incident, and this is amazing, they go back, and I don't know if it's because they reviewed the video with him saying I ate too many drugs. Six months later, they examined the rear of the police vehicle because George Floyd was in that vehicle at one point. he was in the rear of the vehicle he said he couldn't breathe so they took him out and they placed him on the ground so they examined the rear of the vehicle six months later and find out chewed up bits of pills with George Floyd's DNA

that contained meth and fentanyl and I'm going to talk about fentanyl in a second it's going to blow your mind I think it is it blew my mind and that's why I find this case really interesting I might have this wrong but in the past George Floyd was arrested and he popped the pills in his mouth and he started chewing them.

He overdosed. He has a history of overdosing. He spent a long time in the hospital after his overdose. This is his girlfriend, admitting that he overdosed. Feeling good. His stomach really hurt. He was doubled over in pain. Just wasn't feeling well and he said he had to go to the hospital.

learned that that was due to an overdose? Yes. I didn't know that. Kind of interesting. The biggest case in history right now is this case, and they don't even search the rear of the vehicle. Everything that the defense is doing, everything that the defense has done, they put doubt in, all you have to do is put doubt into their arguments, into the prosecution. It is hard for a prosecution.

It's supposed to be hard for a prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. But every time they present one of their witnesses, this defense guy, Nelson, he puts doubt in every single thing. And it's pretty big doubt. And why am I talking this way? I assume that this cop is going to be convicted of something, not second degree or third degree murder. It'll be manslaughter, if anything. But if he's not, and he might not be, because of what the defense has shown, it's really the defense that has investigated this case, not even the chief.

But what the defense has shown puts doubt into everything that the prosecution is trying to do. And what does that mean? If he's found not guilty, the riots, they're going to carry on for another year. Minneapolis is going to burn. And it'll probably burn anyways. even if he's found guilty, it'll probably burn. Did you know about the man in the car when they went to arrest George Floyd? They took him out of a vehicle.

They took him out of a vehicle. There was another guy in the car. His so-called drug dealer. That's the rumor. It's his drug dealer. It's the guy that supplied him the drugs. The rumor is that this bad guy gave George two percocets. Not being percissets because they were tainted with meth and fentanyl.

he wants to plead the fifth apparently this guy he might not even testify because he doesn't want to go to jail for murder if you're a drug dealer and you give a guy fentanyl cocaine and there's fentanyl in it and they die the drug dealer can face a murder charge so he doesn't want to testify and i'm thinking is it possible that this case you're not even going to hear all the evidence and isn't it weird that he might not testify? I'll get into that another day, maybe if I do another video, but it's almost like, because they could give him immunity, but it's almost like the prosecution doesn't want to hear what he has to say. Also, when they, they also said, they also said those guys in the car that were with George Floyd,

said they had difficulty waking George up. Did you know that George Floyd was tweaking in the business where he tried to pass the fake 20? He was tweaking about like he was on meth. There's video of it. I don't got a copy of it. But he's tweaking. He's in a car. They're having trouble.

Waking him up. He's on meth. Fentanyl. Is it possible that he was in the midst of an overdose? It's very possible. What I also learned was George Floyd. had an enlarged heart. He had an unhealthy heart.

He had blocked arteries, narrowing of the artery. One was 75% and one was 90%. I didn't know that. Does it matter? I don't know. It's interesting. He had high blood pressure through the roof. Let's talk about the fentanyl.

I don't know a whole lot about it, what it takes to get overdosed. Well, actually, I do. I know the numbers. But I don't know what they're measured in. Nanograms? I don't know. let's just pretend it's nanograms. If you have fentanyl in your system, you could overdose at three.

If you have a number three, if they measure it and it's three, you can overdose from fentanyl. Guess what George Floyd had? He had 11. Eleven. People dying all over the world from fentanyl overdoses. And George Floyd had in a massive amount. A fentanyl in a sense. system from that drug dealer.

I didn't know that. He had it in a large heart, narrowing the arteries, high blood pressure. You combine all those things, and that's what the defense did, and they go at the medical doctor. They cross-examine the medical doctor, and this is what the medical doctor admits. The theory then for the cause of Mr. Floyd's cardiac arrest, oxygen deficiency. That was one of the more likely possibilities. There are many things that cause hypoxia that would still be considered asphyxiation. Agreed?

Correct. Drug use. Certain drugs can cause hypoxia. Agreed? Specifically fentanyl? That's correct. How about methamphetamine? It can.

Combination of the two? Yes. What's more likely here? That it was a knee on the neck and the backpack killed him? I don't know. or enlarged heart high blood pressure meth, fentanyl

narrowing of the arteries what's more likely, what's more reasonable another expert came on there and said if they didn't watch the video and George Floyd had no police involvement whatsoever that day and they found him at home they said they would have

presumed his death to be an overdose And I don't blame the other bad guy Hall, that guy that was in the car that doesn't want to testify. I mean, could you imagine what defense is going to ask him? Like, what'd you give him? Well, yeah, it had meth and fentanyl in it. What do he do with it? Well, he put it in his mouth.

What do you? Well, that would kill him. If George Floyd put him in his mouth, it would kill him. Yeah, I know. It's possible that if you don't like the knee on the back, some would say you have to blame the police station. their police tactics, the police training. I don't know.

I don't know. It's open my eyes. It's going to be difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that that cop, I think, killed George Floyd, knowing what I know. But then again, like, how can you not convict that police officer after everything that's happened? I just don't see it going his way. In a different time? Possibly.

But I don't... Could you imagine being the jury? And saying that that police officer is not guilty? That'd be a little scary, wouldn't it, for you, as a juror? Anyways, I'm gonna keep on watching. I'm enjoying it. That's weird. But I got nothing else to do.

And I don't know, things that you didn't know about the George Floyd trial. Thanks for watching. Bye, bye. And here you can see down in that area the leg placement of the officer, correct? Yes, sir. And based on your observation of this photograph, it appears that the shin is coming from the top of the shoulder across the shoulder plate, correct? Yeah.
