, what are your thoughts, we have another autopsy coming, doctor michael, what are your thoughts about the charges in this case of george floyd and look at what's playing out on the streets. >> if you look at minnesota law, they have brought the appropriate charges, i was a little bit surprised to hear some of my colleagues say otherwise, prosecutors have to prove stuff beyond a reasonable doubt including intent and in most cases murder one is not even available for even premeditated murders in less you have certain categories of victims like police officers. in minnesota, you have to prove premeditation which so far as we know they don't have proof of that at the moment, for murder to you would have to prove that they intended to cause death which is a very difficult proof under these circumstances, they brought this under in minnesota which is murder three which is depraved indifference which means a murder that is because not necessarily because you're intending to cause death or with any premeditation, but you do something that has such a depraved reckless indifference to human lives and then it causes death. from w
