It's been months since I've watched the video and I don't particularly care to rewatch it.
I could have sworn GF denied being on drugs? Are you certain he admitted it beyond the very common prison/criminal slang 'hooping'?
I would think GF admitting to being on drugs would help the prosecution.
I don't think Chauvin is guilty regardless of how GF possibly admitting being high effects the case, but I think GF used "hooping" as slang was as close as GF came to admitting to being high.
Before the toxicology reports came out I suggested (from years of working with guys in the drug and alcohol recovery community, many ex cons... ) that by saying he'd been "hooping", GF was telling Chauvin he had stuffed his drugs. Ktown and a few other knuckleheads lambasted me......
