Not really.

Just my opinion, but from what I have seen it appears that the most likely outcome is going to be "not guilty" on the murder charges while the "manslaughter" charge might go either way.  If you watch the footage from the officer's body cameras involved it was pretty clear that he was "on something" and the "I can't breathe" claims came well before he was on the ground and being restrained.

It appears to me that he died of an overdose/bad health NOT because he was "choked to death".  At the VERY MOST the officer(s) involved might be guilty of not getting aide in a more timely fashiion.

There is a reason why barricades and a "plan" is in place in Minneapolis.
