It reminds me of the trope...if you have 2 QBs, you don’t have one...

The laundry list of attempted defenses was really confusing

Nelson started with the angry mob trope in his opening
Then we saw the footage of the bystanders at the curb...and he moved on...
The drugs...which are similar to dui levels
...for whatever reason (‘cism) the judge allowed GF’s 2019 arrest to be admitted into evidence...
GF was reportedly eating Percs like m&ms, had a +200BP, and he didn’t die...
The paraganglioma
The narrowing arteries
Carbon monoxide
...trying to remember if that’s all of them...
and then in closing, Nelson said GF died of a cardiac arrhythmia, which would be the result of cardiopulmonary arrest = that’s how everyone dies.

I didn’t watch every second...but it was difficult and confusing following the defense through all these hoops

IMO, the defense would have been better served supporting A theory
and he had it by claiming it wasn’t excessive force
That would have negated all 3 charges
If it wasn’t an illegal restraint...you never meet the threshold of assault

Obviously, $hitty case given the abundance of evidence

But I was left scratching my head on exactly what the defense was claiming killed GF
Sure, they can theorize 6 million ways to die...but they never chose 1

I can’t understand why Nelson leaned on the videos so heavily in his close
Everytime that footage is played, it strengthens the prosecution’s case
