anyone watching the Chauvin trial live?

the prosecutor seems to be a good job of pre-emptively shooting down the likely defense tactic of creating reasonable doubt that Floyd may have died from alternative causes. Drugs in his system, heart arrhythmia, high blood pressure, etc. Seems well prepared.

Nah, I'll be sitting this one out ...

Growing up, and Living in the greater Los Angeles Area and witnessing the Watts Riots as a child, the Rodney King/OJ Simpson Trials as an adult, I've had my share of "Trials of the centuries" for a while, plus the results of some these trials of the century where police basically smiled and walked free, was enough to last me a lifetime. I'll read cliff notes and gain what I know will be wonderful insight from you kind, intelligent folks here and on other sites that I trust and go to regularly for excellent analyses

If I run over a man with my car and he has a heart condition, can I just argue that he died of a heart attack and evade responsibility?
