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.
