Well yes, the video is what I'm referring to and the emotive reaction to it. It doesn't take 9 minutes to lose consciousness if you actually can't breathe, people who go into cardiac arrest also stop breathing. Note again he was complaining about not being able to breathe well before he was put onto the ground that he continued to do so when on the ground doesn't mean that being on the ground was the cause - they'd already tried to put him in a patrol car once and he started those complaints, started dropping to the floor himself etc..
Part of the outcry is that only select bits were initially released and without context - the conclusion being that it was solely the restraint causing his outcry and his eventual death when that isn't necessarily the correct conclusion here - it might well have contributed but the point here, re the trial, is that there is obviously reasonable doubt given that we now know about the presence of drugs, we know that the "I can't breathe" cries were made before he was even on the ground - those things aren't really as clear cut as they might have initially appeared in people's minds when viewing the first selected clips available.
