Dominatior 2: “Is it possible that the supposed "hypoxia" was caused by hyperventilation due to anxiety. Was AH over-breathing and thus filling his lungs with Carbon Dioxide?”
Hyperventilation will not, cannot fill anybody’s lungs with carbon dioxide. There is damn all carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, even in these climate warming times. Hyperventilation leads to a reduction of arterial CO2, which in turn leads to a decrease in cerebral blood flow. That’s why you start feeling a bit dizzy when you blow up an air bed. So if AH was hyperventilating, it might contribute to cerebral hypoxia but nothing to do with CO2.

Bob Viking - what a sensible balanced post.

Legalapproach - keep trying! You are doing a good job. BTW is it possible, can I get a transcript of the judge’s and prosecution’s summing up? For my interest and education. Thanks.

Airsound: you were there, you know what a load of cobblers the press coverage was, and I agree totally with your comments.
