Agent Chauvin and the municipal police. We recall that it was this event that triggered demonstrations, including violent ones in numerous US cities, with the emergence of the BLM movement.

Dr Andrew Baker, chief medical examiner of Hennepin County, said Floyd's "severe heart disease" along with his "toxicological situation" contributed to his death when Chauvin knelt on his neck for nearly 10 minutes. Floyd was arrested after police were told that he had tried to deal with a counterfeit $ 20 bill and would resist arrest.

"He has a heart that already needs more oxygen than a normal heart by virtue of its size," Baker said during the trial, arguing that "law enforcement subdural containment and neck compression was just more than Mr. Floyd could bear ".

This wasn't the only revelation that shattered the process.

It was found that Floyd had significant amounts of the narcotic Fentanyl in his system after his death and had apparently also ingested methamphetamine prior to the accident. He was basically stuffed with psychiatric drugs.

All this comes to lighten the position of Chauvin who was unfamiliar with Floyd's health and drug problems. His eventual acquittal, however, would cause a new wave of riots in the USA:
