Following a struggle to get Floyd into the back of a police cruiser, viral video shows that\u00a0Chauvin knelt on Floyd\u2019s neck and back for nearly nine minutes to detain Floyd while awaiting paramedics.<\/p>\n<p>Chauvin\u2019s attorney Eric Nelson argued during the trial that Floyd\u2019s drug use and bad heart were crucial factors in his death, and that Chauvin used reasonable force through an authorized prone hold. The Hennepin County <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/medical-examiner-concluded-george-floyd-likely-died-of-fentanyl-overdose-court-docs-reveal\">medical examiner<\/a>\u00a0revealed that Floyd\u2019s autopsy showed the deceased had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/george-floyds-girlfriend-floyd-hospitalized-for-overdose-months-earlier-drug-dealer-with-him-during-arrest\">potentially lethal<\/a>\u00a0levels of drugs in his system.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s expected that Chauvin\u2019s defense team will appeal the verdict.<\/p>\n<p>Chauvin attorney Eric Nelson on Monday unsuccessfully asked\u00a0Judge Peter Cahill for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/judge-gives-weak-response-after-chauvin-attorney-complains-jury-not-sequestered\">mistrial<\/a>. But during his discussion with the judge,\u00a0Nelson referenced recent comments made by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) that seemingly encouraged violence if Chauvin is not convicted. With regard to a mistrial,\u00a0Judge Cahill dismissed the argument from the defense attorney, but he did blast the congresswoman and told Nelson she could have given him a lane for an appeal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/7-year-old-black-girl-shot-and-killed-in-mcdonalds-drive-thru-black-lives-matter-silent\">7-Year-Old Black Girl Shot And Killed In McDonald\u2019s\u00a0Drive-Thru.
