George Floyd could have been saved if Minneapolis police officers had moved him into a position to breathe more easily, a lung specialist testified Monday at the trial of three former officers charged with violating Floyd’s civil rights.
are accused of depriving Floyd, 46, of his rights when they failed to give him medical aid as Chauvin knelt on the Black man’s neck for 9 1/2 minutes. Kueng and Thao are also accused of failing to intervene in Kueng knelt on Floyd’s back and Lane held his legs while Thao kept bystanders back.
He said Lane’s restriction of Floyd’s legs also would have prevented Floyd from getting into a position to breathe properly. When asked about Floyd’s chances of survival if officers had immediately begun CPR after his cardiac arrest, Systrom replied: “They would have been doubled or tripled.”Dr. Andrew Baker, Hennepin County’s chief medical examiner, testified last week that Floyd died after police “subdual, restraint and neck compression” caused his heart and lungs to stop. He said heart disease and drug use were factors but not the “top line” causes.
While Baker did not rule asphyxiation as a cause of Floyd’s death, Systrom agreed under cross-examination by Thao’s attorney, Robert Paule, that his opinion was “entirely different.” He noted that Baker has said he would defer to a pulmonologist and other experts on some issues.
