[QUOTE="MartyMcFly, post: 1497183, member: 22678"] When I say 'hit with a nightstick' I don't mean 4 cops hitting him 10 times each. I mean 1-2 hits to bring him down. The medical experts state his main cause of death was not drug overdose. I wonder if he pressed down on the neck too hard. I am not an expert and I guess I am hoping the medical experts can be trusted. Do you think the medical experts were corrupt and the judge and jury was also corrupt? I will say that the trial might have been corrupt. I think holding the trial in Minneapolis was ridiculous. The trial should have been moved. The jurors knew that a not-guilty verdict or a light sentence would put their lives in danger.
