    We can agree! Can we agree on the definition of "Homicide"?

    hom·i·cide

    /ˈhäməˌsīd/
    Learn to pronounce

    noun
    • the deliberate and unlawful killing of one person by another; murder.
    Now the charge against Chauvin is 2nd Degree Murder. The medical examiner has declared Floyd's death a homicide. The defense is certainly going to try and cast doubt on the medical examiner's findings but that is an uphill battle... They know they are screwed. They've already tried to plea bargain...unsuccessfully...

    Failed plea bargain agreement

    On May 28, state and federal prosecutors held a press conference at a regional FBI office in Brooklyn Center, a Minneapolis suburb, in what was anticipated to be a major development to the case against the officers who were at the scene of Floyd's death.[115] However, Hennepin County Attorney Michael O. Freeman, the local official with jurisdiction to bring forth criminal charges for police misconduct, said his office needed more time to investigate.[116] In explaining the anticipation of the media briefing and its two-hour delayed start, U.S. AttorneyErica MacDonald said, "I thought we would have another development to talk to you about, but we don’t". Weeks later, on June 9, it was revealed that state and federal prosecutors were negotiating a plea deal with former officer Derek Chauvin that would have included state murder charges and federal civil rights charges, but the deal fell apart for reasons that were not fully explained.[115]

    The defense has a losing case. They know it...the prosecution knows it...just about everyone who is taking a genuine and honest look at this case knows it...

    The lack of Welfare State which is responsible for most of the 70,230 drug overdose deaths is another issue. Most of these people lacked help they needed, thus they turned to drugs.
    Too much Fentanyl kills. Even George Floyd.

    The defense is going to call as witnesses the follow on medical examiners to explain the fentanyl angle. That is reasonable doubt. And we know what that means.

    Riots.

    They are not screwed. There is no way that a jury convicts. It is not the best interest of the state to have a trial right now because they are afraid of the verdict. They are going to make this last for a couple of years so they do not stir up the anarchists.

    There is a speedy trial act at the federal level, and I assume all states have them too.
