As an aside (or "sidebar"), I also did not understand how and why the attorneys in this case were allowed to ask leading question after leading question after leading question. Like, for example… - Herbert Dyer, Jr. - Medium

…smisses the other two convictions, and maxes out his possible sentence at forty years imprisonment. This is “strange” in my view because in most other states, consecutive sentencing for each and every count for which one is convicted is not merely allowed but vigorously argued and fought for by prosecutors in especially “heinous” cases.

Like, for example, "Dr. Expert Witness, you would agree with me that....". Or, Ms. Onlooking Witness, "You didn't really see my client's full knee on Mr. Floyd's neck, but rather on his back, right?"
I just have to guess that that is how the Rules of Criminal Procedure in Minnesota are "promulgated," right?
