unless it can be proven that the death had nothing to do with the kneeling (proof whose burden lies on those attempting to make such a claim), I would consider it reasonable to convict the kneeler of murder
you have that backwards. the burden of proof is on the prosecution. why do I even need to say that? and there's all kinds of things you have to show in between, like motive, intent, actual cause of death, actual order of events, potential lethality of the action, actual lethality of what actually happened, etc.etc.etc.

additionally, this is an argument from ignorance; your explanation doesn't "win" by default, you have to meet standards of evidence, burden of proof, etc.

applying enough pressure to the carotid sinus can stop the heart
ok, finally more information than you originally said was sufficient for conviction of murder. I don't know if that's true or not (I see some controversy over the degree to which that is the case), but at least you've potentially established a connection between applying pressure to a neck and stopping a heart. you'd still have to show that that actually occurred though.

Without clear proof to the contrary, there's no reason to even suspect that kneeling on Floyd's neck didn't play a major role in his death.
argument from ignorance. I have no idea if kneeling on his neck contributed or to what degree it contributed, or was directly responsible, or was purely coincidental. I would like to actually know though, without making huge jumps in logic like you're doing.
