Beware of a new tactic by the prosecution

[Sarge7402]

Seems as though the ME in the George Floyd case was coerced into changing his findings by an outsider. That allowed the prosecutor to charge Officer Chauvin with 2 degree murder. If they can get away with it for him it's only a matter of time when it happens to one of us.

Hardly a new tactic....

They are not above shopping for a compliant examiner or having multiple autopsies done until They get a report that fits Their narrative either.

If They want you bad enough, They will get you.

Several years ago I was a government employee that responded to a suicide. I did as I was trained and performed CPR trying to save this person's life. In the months long investigation that followed, I was informed by state and federal agencies that if a trial followed (such as wrongful death, or even homicide) that my CPR may be used against me. It is very typical while performing CPR to crack or break rib bones. And the family or some interested third party may try to bring up broken ribs in court to prove a wrongful death claim. Long and vague story short is

Fortunately for me, nothing came of the death. It was ruled a suicide. I did everything I could reasonably do. And the family has enough of their own legal troubles to muddy the court system with a death lawsuit.

Every time I have to get re certified in CPR we are told there is a Fed law that exempts you from doing harm by doing CPR for just that reason. That you can end up doing some damage. Hope they are not lying to us every couple years when they make us all re certify.

Criminally, perhaps, but not a civil suit.

The Good Samaritan law will exempt you to a degree from criminal liability if you are acting as a private person. Being a government employee at any level (county/parish, state, federal) gives you less protection being a civil servant involved in a death. Civil suit is a whole nother can of vicious, venomous snakes.

Nope

Good Samaritan laws are state, not federal (with the exception of aviation)

BTW, not exactly a THR scope.
