Chauvin didn’t render or summon aid when Floyd was clearly in distress. He may not have applied the mechanism to kill Floyd, but his willful failure to properly react just as surely caused Floyd to die.

Yeah, but what can get him off is the murder charge they're trying to prosecute him on. I don't think the murder charge will stick.  I agree He should be charged and do time for his negligence, I just think the D.A. is outkicking his coverage with a politically motivated murder charge. A simple aggravated manslaughter charge would probably be a open and shut case. Some jurors might be hesitant to convict on murder though. Especially if the defense's drug ingestion evidence is strong. The burden of proof is on the prosecution, all the defense has to do is present reasonable doubt and get one juror to agree with them.
