Friday, forensic pathologist Dr. Lindsey Thomas and Chief Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker were the only two witnesses to testify in the trial against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
Baker reaffirmed his determination of the cause of death.
“That’s cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual restraint and neck compression,” Baker said. “That was my top line then and it will stay my top line now.”
Baker also testified he still believes Floyd’s death was a homicide and explained to the jury it’s a medical term that means another person was involved in the death.
