Reply To: Do our eyes tell us what happened to GEORGE FLOYD

@n0mesorah
Your would be correct. To think someone dying while in a choke-hold actually died from other causes is not the most logically conclusive implication*.
The point I make though, is that it is reasonable to assume, I believe, that he WAS NOT IN A CHOKEHOLD ALTOGETHER.

(*I word it specifically that way, being cognizant of the halacha that a BD would not give a death penalty to someone in exactly the case you mention. Because if there is a possibility then a BD wont be dan L’misah. However that is due to V’hitzilu ha’eida, and that definitely isnt the law in our case).
