I got up-voted by LLWood and Sidney Powell on Parler for this response to Poso Pric.

 

"Seems like you and Dershopedo are stoking fires. You are just as bad as the left and approve of white supremacy. The evidence was overwhelming regardless if the jury watched the news – hard to prove. You're not a lawyer. Quit playing like one. I am not amused by Poso Pric!"

Dr. Daniel Isenschmid, a toxicologist at NMS Labs in Pennsylvania, presented data at trial from more than 2,300 blood samples in fentanyl DUI cases from the last year. He showed that while the average fentanyl blood level was close to 9.6 ng/ml, a quarter of people tested had 11 ng/ml or higher. (Important to note: Blood samples were taken from drivers who tested positive for fentanyl and were alive at the time of collection.)

 

Isenschmid also showed that Floyd's blood ratio of fentanyl to norfentanyl, the molecule fentanyl is broken down to once in the body, was lower than the average ratio both for people who died of overdoses and those arrested for DUI who lived.

 

Overdose victims who die rarely have norfentanyl in their blood, since death often occurs before the body can break the drug down, he said.

 

Isenschmid's testimony was supported by pulmonologist and critical care specialist Dr. Martin Tobin of Loyola University Medical Center.

 

"Mr. Floyd died from a low level of oxygen, and this caused damage to his brain that we see. And it also caused a PEA (pulseless electrical activity) arrhythmia that caused his heart to stop," he told the court. He explained Floyd's body position on the street, handcuffs pulling his arms back and a knee on his neck, back and sides, led to his low oxygen levels.

 

"All of these four forces are ultimately going to result in the low tidal volume, which gives you the shallow breaths" that can't effectively bring oxygen into the lungs, Tobin said.

 

He stated because fentanyl typically slows down a person's breathing, the drug was not a contributing factor based on his calculations of Floyd's breathing rate based on witness video, which at the time appeared about the same as a healthy individual.

 

Our ruling: False

We rate the claim Floyd had enough fentanyl in his system to kill three grown men FALSE, based on our research. While Floyd's toxicology report did reveal fentanyl present, expert witnesses at his murder trial have stated there was not enough to be considered fatal or impact his breathing and oxygen levels. Floyd died due to lack of oxygen from the force of Chauvin's knee on his neck.

You must not be human. He didn't deserve to die. The coroner said it was homicide - death at the hands of another. That would be Derek Dick Chauvin and you, if you were him. Are you a murderer too? Would you have killed him just because you could, like Derek, your hero Chauvin the convicted murderer.
