I think any defense police practices or use of force expert has a tough row to hoe with Chauvin keeping the knee on after there is no pulse. I'll be interested to see if there is a defense medical expert. I presume there will be. Can't imagine them conceding that issue with so many questions as to what actually caused death. As far as Chauvin testifying, I guess it depends on their assessment of where they stand with the jury. Frankly, at this point, I'd like to hear what he has to say. Does he have anything to lose?
