Struggling to see how any of this helps the prosecution.

So he gave Floyd Tums to treat an upset stomach while his heart wasn't beating?

The kid probably did everything he was trained to do, but he's clearly got no idea "why" he does it. Pretty obvious, really not sure why she continues to press.

No. Bicarb is given via IV. Cardiac/respiratory arrest can lead to acidosis or vice versa. Bicarb helps neutralize the blood pH

Prosecutions witness just testified that he's not an expert. His testimony is confirming it.

Prosecutor needs to sit down.


She asked him a medical diagnosis question and he rightly refused to answer.

I figured there was a better reason, but this EMT didn't know the reason either.

He stated outright that "he's not an expert", his words verbatim. Really clear to me that they've got a lot of training on what to do, not why. And it's really not their job to know why. Just an interesting line of questioning to the witness and his actual skillset/knowledge.

When there's a recess would someone be so kind as to summarize the highlights from this morning? I came into this thread when everyone was freaking out about a particular witness that inadvertently undercut the prosecution, but am not about to ascertain exactly what occurred. Something about the power of the pills and possibly a reference to the name "Mama"?. Anyway, I am not able to follow as closely as many of you and know the news outlets will not hit on the relevant aspects of the day with any reliability.
State called Floyd's GF, Courtney Ross. 45 year old white woman who had dated Floyd of and on since they met at the Salvation Army in August of 2017 shortly after Floyd had moved to Minneapolis. He was a sceurity guard there and her ex was staying at the flop house for the homeless.

Turns out she too was addicted to opioids and they did drugs together for those three years as well as separately.

Sometimes they paid people to give them leftover prescribed medications sometimes they bought them on the street. They weren't always using, they tried rehab a couple of times.

In March of 2020, she went to pick Floyd up and drive him to his job but he was in sever pain (stomach) she took him to the hospital instead. He was admitted and stayed in the hospital for five days. Drug overdose. Heroin.

Also in March, Floyd had obtained some pills from Maurice Hall (the guy with him in the car and the store on May 25, 2020) and they took them together. She said the pills appeared different, were larger, etc. She said the effects of those pills were not the usual pain relief she expected, instead she was so hopped up and jittery she couldn't sleep.

She also stated that Floyd occasionally buy drugs from Shawanda Hill who coincidentally was also in the car with Floyd that day. Son he's sitting there with two of his dealers.

About two weeks before he died, Ross said she noted behavioral changes in Floyd indicating he was using again. And again, pills obtained from Maurice Hall were jointly taken. She had the same reaction to those pills as the ones in March. Quite simply they were speedballing. Fentanyl and meth.

So there is straight line between Floyd's OD in March and his OD in May with the same dealers being present.

The first witness was George Floyd's girlfriend. She cried on the stand a lot during the prosecution's exam, and loved George Floyd. They talked briefly about his drug use. During cross-examination, she had to admit a few key items:

- George Floyd overdosed on heroin in March, complaining that his stomach hurt before she took him to the hospital.
- Floyd had picked up pills that looked like Percocet from a dealer they both knew (who was in the Cup Foods trying to pass a fake bill, and was in the car when the police arrested him), taking them in March and likely again in May when he relapsed. When he took them he became very high energy
- When the witness took the pills, she felt like she was dying
- Floyd had a second person he bought drugs from, that the witness did not like

It wasn't mentioned, but the two drug dealers referenced were the two people in the car with George Floyd during his arrest.

Good, he's talking about ACLS guidelines. It is very much an "if this, do this" algorithm.

Good line of questioning here by the prosecution from an emergency procedure standpoint. Delay in compressions and resuscitation is tissue lost and increases his risk of death. The longer you wait to compress, the less likely it is for a successful outcome.

PEA means there's a cardiac rhythm but there's no pulse. Basically the electricity is working but the plumbing is turned off.

Correct answer on the asystole and PEA a question. Both are pulseless arrhythmias that cannot be shocked. Treat with epinephrine and compressions.

Honestly I think this guy is just nervous and not very well spoken. He knows his stuff. At least the very basic stuff that any EMT should know.

Didn't she also say something about foaming at the mouth during the OD in March.

Also, he called her "mama" and she was in his cell phone contact list as "mama".

Seems like that would be a big deal because he wasn't being "choked out" as the defense would like you to believe. Wouldn't a normal (non-drug induced) person be revived at that point? Assuming no blockage like in a heart attack.

Witness has arrived at scenes where officers are on top of a suspect. Prosecution objected. Judge overruled.

No problem. One other note- during the cross examination, the witness often would respond with "I don't remember", and Nelson would then reference her interview with the FBI or prosecutors where she provided specific details. She was reluctantly forced to do this several times during her testimony.

When people are revived from a drug overdose can they become violent? Yes. Have you witnessed that? Yes. That's why the police respond as well to ODs? Yes?
