    OK, So you didn't read the bit of the autopsy where it stated his height and weight, instead claiming that he was over a stone heavier.
    Do you not consider the autopsy report to be a reliable source for his height and weight?

      as usual you are wrong

      GIANT | meaning in the Cambridge English Dictionary

      vgiantnoun [ C ]

      UK /ˈdʒaɪ.ənt/ US /ˈdʒaɪ.ənt/


      giant noun [C] (VERY TALL PERSON)


      B1
      an imaginary creature like a man but extremely tall, strong, and usually very cruel, appearing especially in children's stories









      someone who is taller or larger than usual


      So - someone who is taller or larger than usual is the definition to satisfy.

      https://www.healthline.com/health/av...inches%20tall.


      According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted Source, the average age-adjusted height for American men 20 years old and up is 69.1 inches (175.4 centimeters). That’s about 5 feet 9 inches tall.
      So he was 7 inches / 10% taller than average. He qualifies as a giant by definition or do you / old smeg want to argue the dictionary definition as usual because you know better? Sneering optional.

        Violent non-white person aren't you. Interesting values system as well.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            It's your interpretation of the dictionary that is open to question, as is so often the case.

            How have you decided that 10% taller than the average height is taller than usual? You can make a case that it is. You can make a case that 2% taller than the average height is taller than usual. But neither of these is a clear-cut definition. Because "usual" is not quantified in the definition you provide.

            You probably need to find a medical dictionary definition of "giant" if you want a definition you can stand over with certainty.

              The autopsy is part of the Deep State conspiracy to wipe out the white race.

                  A Crash Course in the American Grand Jury System

                  Unlike the determination that is made by a trial jury, the evaluation performed by a grand jury is not whether the accused committed the crime in question, but whether there is probable cause to bring charges. Additionally, unlike in a criminal trial on the merits, a prosecution is not required to prove the case "beyond a reasonable doubt," but typically must convince the grand jury only that a trial on the merits of the charges alleged is reasonable (although some jurisdictions require that the prosecution prove probable cause by a "preponderance of the evidence" [i.e., more likely than not] standard).

                  That is how the US system works, instead of our CPS they have a Jury trial to decide if there is a case to answer. We only see the bit after the CPS as a prosecution.

                  Interestingly he quotes

                  Based on the influence of the prosecutor, who (other than the court reporter) is the only non-juror present and who selects the evidence to present, various studies have suggested that the rate of indictment by a grand jury ranges from approximately 95% to approximately 99%.
                  so no indictment is quite unusual as the bar is so low.

                      No that is Gigantism, a different definition altogether.

                      The dictionary definition is acceptable for normal people. 10% does seem to be significant in a value across an entire population.
