Abc news zombie thinks blood pressure of 200/167

[The Magistrate]

20. Some Experts Are More Expert Than Others, Sir

I am inclined to give the former greater weight.

The man's blood-pressure while under the murderer's knee is unknown, no one having taken it. What his blood pressure was a year before is immaterial, even if the circumstances were broadly similar. Prior to Chauvin's murderous assault, he could have had blood pressure in a normal range, and there is in fact no particular reason to suspect he did not.

Nor does a one in eight possibility of death over a period of several days afflicted with such extreme hypertension say anything at all about the likelihood he might just have keeled over that day without the murderer's knee on his neck for nigh on ten minutes. Nor does it matter if, with the murderer's knee on his neck, he had a sudden episode of extreme hypertension and died --- that is just how the murder came to kill him. Murderers take their victims as they find them, and if a health condition afflicting the murderer's victim chooses the moment of the murderous assault to do its worst, that does not exonerate the murderer in the slightest.
