So why did Chauvin continue holding his knee on Floyd’s neck after he became unresponsive?

And that is the key question. There was a lot of distortion and Floyd was no innocent, but this part is much harder to overcome in defense.

It is the duration of time that the knee is on the neck that will cost the officer prison time.

“excited delirium”. The manual says keep the knee on the neck when they go quiet due to excited delirium.

I think I read that correctly.
