Wild shots in the dark at reaching jurors. Carbon monoxide??? If they show that kind of desperation, they will turn off jurors.
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin said Thursday that he has declined to testify in his own trial, invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Chauvin’s defense team announced that it intended to rest its case.
This came a day after a medical expert testified that heart disease and drug use was to blame for George Floyd’s death. David Fowler, a former chief medical examiner for the state of Maryland, said many factors contributed to Floyd’s manner of death, which he classified as “undetermined,” not homicide.

Perhaps they need to watch My Cousin Vinny.
That would explain why he couldn't breathe.
Only a couple days of defense was mounted. Only, what, 7 witnesses? One of whom was discredited on the stand?
Typically, defenses that weak and brief never succeed.
But who knows with the jury...I'm sure there's at least one MAGA idiot on the jury who will refuse to consider the evidence.
I think it's more likely that there's a mistrial than a conviction or acquittal.
When I die, turn me into a brick and use me to cave in the skull of a fascist
I hope Chauvin’s lawyey is pro bono, because he sure as shit is getting about that value in his defense.
For the defense -
Use of force expert testifies that Chauvin's knee was never on Floyd's neck.
Forensic expert testifies that Chauvin's knee was on Floyd's neck.
Which defense witness should the jury believe?
"We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid."
"Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do."
