To make its case, the state says “ignore all of these physical ailments, ignore the drugs, ignore the environment, ignore the procedure book, and the defense is lying to you, any 9 year old knew just from the video that Chauvin was guilty and it’s just that simple.” Its Shook-level prosecution.
The defense says “look at everything and account for the totality of the circumstances. If you can’t say beyond a reasonable doubt Chauvin killed him and not any other factors (that even the defense doctors said would’ve been enough to kill him), then you cannot find him guilty. And oh by the way, if you cannot state beyond a reasonable doubt that Chauvin acted unreasonably given the totality of the circumstances, then you can’t find him guilty either.
