On Friday, testimony continues in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. On Thursday, experts analyzed George Floyd s breathing in the case, coming to a conclusion a lack of oxygen, not drugs, caused his death.
Three experts took the stand, Dr. Martin Tobin volunteered his time as a witness. He is a lung and critical care doctor. Dr. Daniel Isenschmid, a forensic toxicologist, tested a blood sample from Floyd at the request of the Hennepin County Medical Examiner. He said meth and fentanyl were found in Floyd s system but the meth level was similar to a single-prescribed dose. The final medical expert, Dr. William Smock, an emergency medical doctor took the stand. He was the state s first paid witness.

It was May 2015, and Roberto Grant had pleaded guilty to taking part in a series of luxury watch store heists. He was awaiting sentencing at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, the federal jail in lower Manhattan, when he died a violent death. An autopsy released a year and a half later listed his cause of death as “undetermined.”
Grant’s family says MCC administrators and their superiors at the federal Bureau of Prisons misled them about what really happened the night he died. And they are demanding answers.
