George Floyd took Fatal Dose of Fentanyl DURING Arrest

The lawyer will present his arguments in court tomorrow (Sept. 11th)

The attorney of a former Minneapolis police officer involved in the killing of George Floyd has claimed that Floyd overdosed on fentanyl while resisting arrest, contributing to his own death.

In Monday's filing, Gray pointed to police body cam footage to claim that it appears Floyd swallowed "2 milligrams of fentanyl," calling it "a lethal dose."

Gray claimed that Floyd swallowed the drugs while officers were attempting to take him into custody – pointing to a white spot on Floyd's tongue which, Gray claims, disappeared in the bodycam footage.

Court documents read: “All he had to do is sit in the police car, like every other defendant who is initially arrested. While attempting to avoid his arrest, all by himself, Mr. Floyd overdosed on Fentanyl."

"Given his intoxication level, breathing would have been difficult at best. Mr. Floyd’s intentional failure to obey commands, coupled with his overdosing, contributed to his own death."

Toxicology testing found fentanyl and evidence of recent methamphetamine use in Floyd’s system, according to The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s autopsy report.

Gray is expected to present his arguments for throwing out the charges against Lane at the case's next court hearing, on September 11.
