Derek Chauvin Appeal

Over at ChicagoBoyz is a summary of the arguments involved in Derek Chauvin's appeal.

Briefly, 

1. Government witnesses perturbed themselves about restraint method not being an approved MPD method.

2. Expert medical witnesses included doctors who never examined the deceased.

3. Expert medical witnesses who could have presented other explanations of St. Floyd's death were not allowed to testify.

In one sense, it really does not matter if Chauvin caused St. Floyd's death.  St. Floyd was a member of a designated victim group; Chauvin was white; there was video that looked bad.  The whole proof beyond a reasonable doubt idea therefore does not apply.
