Derek Chauvin's defence team was evidently relying heavily on the testimony of retired medical examiner Dr David Fowler to persuade the jurors of the former police officer's innocence. He was the only witness called to give evidence on day 13 of the trial. The forensic pathologist, serving as an expert witness, outlined to the jury his reading of all of the evidence in the case and his conclusion that officer Chauvin's knee was not responsible for George Floyd's death. He told the court that Mr Floyd's heart disease and drug use were the primary cause. He added that the stress of his arrest and the release of adrenaline from a tumour in his abdomen contributed, as did possible carbon monoxide from the police car exhaust as he was restrained nearby. It was a very different conclusion from that of the medical examiner who performed the post-mortem examination on Mr Floyd. Dr Andrew Baker told the court on Friday that the restraint of Mr Floyd was his cause of death. … [Read more...] about George Floyd killing: Retired doctor’s testimony key to Derek Chauvin’s defence

Karl May Museum returns Native American human scalp
Back in 2014, the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians from the US state of Michigan sent a letter of complaint to the Karl May Museum in the eastern German state of Saxony. A US visitor to the museum had alerted the tribe to an item on display there: a human scalp. The museum, which is dedicated to the works of legendary German "Wild West" writer Karl May , initially refused to return it , saying the staff could not ascertain its origins. "This individual was taken without the authority to do so and placed in a museum to be shown like a picture on the wall," stated a 2015 report from the tribe, which set in motion a series of changes: a specially commissioned study, a new ethnographic specialist at the museum and mediation by the US State Department, which is now the custodian of the human remains on behalf of the Chippewa Indians. Native American exhibits feature at the museum on account of May's Winnetou books On Monday, the museum returned the human … [Read more...] about Karl May Museum returns Native American human scalp

Ben Montemayor, 29, filed a lawsuit on Monday against the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) for using excessive force when breaking up protests, according to the Los Angeles Times . The lawsuit alleged that Montemayor was shot in the testicle with a projectile that caused it to swell to the size of a “grapefruit” and explode. Doctors had to piece his testicle together after he was rushed to a hospital. The defendants in the lawsuit include LAPD Chief Michel Moore. The lawsuit alleged that Montemayor was attacked by two officers who shoved him backward and ripped a sign he was holding that called for defunding the LAPD.
