Re: No Indictment in Chokehold Death
You lie through omission. You conveniently left out his asthma, his diabetes and his advanced heart disease.
In the end, Gardener was amazing frail and literally near death and his 6'3" 360LB frame gave the exact opposite impression. It was that false impression that led to the officer's choices on how to detain Gardener. Had he been a relatively healthy then a combative 6'3" 360LB Gardener would probably be more than the officers could handle.
According to the autopsy, Garner died of compression to the neck, compressions to his chest, and being held prone by the officers caused his death.
That's why the coroner's office ruled it a homicide, and it went before a grand jury.
