Earlier today, the defense rested in the murder trial of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, charged in connection with the in-custody death of George Floyd.

Chauvin waived his right to testify on his own behalf, asserting his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent during the course of the trial. That was not a surprising development.

But what came next was quite surprising, and potentially a critical moment in the case for the prosecution.

The prosecution advised the Court that it would have one rebuttal witness. A rebuttal witness can be called to present testimony in response to evidence heard for the first time during the defense case. As is very common, the rebuttal testimony would come from one expert witness who previously testified, Dr. Martin Tobin, and the testimony would be in response to testimony given by a defense expert.

But the surprising part of the prosecution’s announcement was that it intended to have Dr. Tobin testify about newly discovered evidence — a Hennepin County Medical Examiner report on the level of carbon monoxide (CO) in the blood gas testing of arterial blood drawn from Floyd at the hospital.

The standard panel of blood gas readings sent at the request of the ER physicians would not normally have included this test result. The machine that tests the blood does measure the CO content, and it is reflected in the master report that is produced by the machine, but that reading is not normally sent to the ER where the patient is being treated. The Medical Examiner didn’t ask for that particular test reading because he didn’t deem it relevant upon examination. So the test reading was reflected in the hospital records all along, but it had never been noted by anyone until the Medical Examiner, Dr. Baker, went back to the records after hearing some of the earlier expert testimony in the case.

  • Who cares?  George Floyd died by his own hand.  His dumb@ss black life didn't matter and never will.  So when the rioting starts again, I'll just sit back and laugh at the stupidity.

  • Any riots, looting, physical assaults, and arson associated with the Floyd fiasco is the direct result of the MSM's incitement and race-baiting.  The Minneapolis city and County Officials have also been negligent in their dealing with the problems.. .failing to use sufficient law enforcement tactics to isolate and detain the leaders of the riot and in many cases abdicating their duty to maintain order by withdrawing police from areas of civil unrest and acts of sedition.

    The Judge should be disbarred and or removed from the Bench for failure to approve a change of venue... this trial needed to be held in a remote wilderness town in Minnesota, one with very limited hotel accommodations.  The Judge should have restricted the amount and type of media coverage, to dampen the expected civil unrest and violence brewing in the streets and media outlets.  The City of Minneapolis needs to martial all of its LEO's and ask the Government for National Guard Units to be present n force upon the announcement of the verdict... it also needed to wage a public information campaign to inform the public that any potential violence will immediately be put down using ALL the necessary force available... including deadly force where life and property are under attack or threatened.

  • Chauvin was one half the world wide propaganda skit and as such he must be protected and honered for is work for the deep state.

  • No matter what happens with this trial, the officer's life is ruined, and the cities will burn.  Blacks will rampage, do early Christmas shopping and destroy everything in their sight.  After all, most of them have never owned anything, living in government housing with Mom on welfare and food stamps and no father in the picture.  If you think this is from a racist, you are right.

  •  Mistrial,Acquital, Innocent....you can be sure whichever has Already been decided, the "The Powers that Never should have been and have No Right to even be in America as the Organized Clicque "'They"' are since at least 1913" I'm pretty sure are going to Watch the USA BURN!! This is more than likely when 'IT' Will begin and the possibility of Chinese Troops ACTING as "UN Peacekeepers" Will Invade America as pre-arranged and signed (though I Honestly Can't prove that) by Our First Impostor Ex-Presidente B'crack "Alinsky" Obama on his way out the door in 2016. Would Anyone Really be Surprised?

    • I agree. BUt I have put this om this site before b ut the readers are too lazy to follow through with it because they do not want to tkae the time to research anything. The 1985 TV mini series, Amerika, is a good place to start. It was a TV mini series that lasted for 5 days, 2 hours a night. What is displayed in that mini series is exactly what is happening right now. Go to you trube and in the search bar put in these exact terms, "Amerika TV mini series". If you are not too damned lazy, go watch this and you will be amaze. Everything that is in that series is exactly what is happening right now.

    • The apparent lack of concern and effective response by the Public to our rouge government is the result of ineffective MORAL LEADERSHIP by our community leaders and political parties. The lack of public and private leadership needed to organize and resource an effective resistance has crippled the public response.  Reform movements don't magically appear nor do they prevail when the Public is not MOTIVATED sufficiently to engage the tasks necessary to deliver the reforms sought.  Basically, we lack a William Wallace to unite the tribes.

      Historically, individuals require motivated leadership to organize an effective reform movement... Even when confronted with grave personal loss most individuals will wait until they can bolster their numbers and organize an effective GROUP response. The Public simply lacks the initiative to self-muster; too, resist their enemies until they are rallied by recognized leadership.  The Public generally waits until the last moment before resorting to violence as a means to their ends,  hoping someone other than themselves will step up and save the day.  Don't look for Mom or Pop to suddenly become RAMBO. In fact, RAMBO is exactly what we need, a Bull in the China Closet, willing to take on the world.  We need a  Donald Trump on steroids.

    • Well said Col Ron.
