On July 29, District Court Judge Peter Cahill, the presiding judge in the trials of the four Minneapolis police officers indicted for the death of George Floyd, ordered the release of an exhibit memorandum that reveals a miscarriage of justice and criminal coercion of a witness.
Dr. Roger Mitchell, the former deputy mayor and medical examiner of the District of Columbia and now the Chief of Pathology at Howard University Medical School, a traditional Black medical school, boldly intimidated and coerced Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker into changing critical conclusory language in his autopsy report on the death of George Floyd.
The exhibit is a written summary of Mitchell’s commentary and some admissions of coercion that he volunteered to Minnesota Attorney General Office prosecutors in November 2020. Mitchell’s perfidious conduct is discussed in this excellent article by Jack Cashill.
Dr. Andrew Baker, an experienced and well-regarded Chief Medical Examiner for Hennepin County, conducted an autopsy on Mr. Floyd on May 26, 2020, the day after his death, and reported later that day, “The autopsy revealed no physical evidence suggesting that Mr. Floyd died of asphyxiation or that excessive force was used in the restraint performed by the officers led by Officer Chauvin.
Three days later, on Friday, May 29, prosecutors elaborated on the cause of death in posting their initial complaint against Derek Chauvin. According to the complaint, “The full report of the [medical examiner] is pending but the [medical examiner] has made the following preliminary findings. The autopsy revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.”
It is written: better that one cop goes to jail than for the whole city to perish.
Who needs a justice system when we have an infestation of kangaroos running our courts?
We should see federal charges of civil rights violations, but we won’t.
Facts and truth don’t matter when you get in the crosshairs of a BLM social justice narrative. What also was covered up was the 911 call center responder failed to follow protocol. Several times they requested medical back-up, the fire station was a few blocks away, she never fulfilled that request. Furthermore her training required her to send fire/medical when an individual has a head injury, which Floyd did, without the request of the officers. Had the fire department shown up in the first moments this would not have ended the way it did – Floyd probably would have had a heart attack in an ambulance.
Hmmm…I wonder if Derek Chauvin will live long enough to attend his appeal hearing.
Derek Chauvin is innocent, and a hero. Regardless of how many angel wings you paint behind George Floyd’s ugly face, he’s burning in hell.
