and it remains to be seen whether there's enough doubt in those jurors minds not to convict eric chauvet. 12 jurors have to decide either way either he all 12 say he has to be convicted then they've got to name one of those 3 charges or more or all of them have to agree that he is not guilty if that doesn't happen and we have some division where there's even one juror who doesn't agree with the other 11 if they can't resolve that difference and they if that happens they will retry repeatedly to do that if they can't resolve that difference then it's a hung jury and they get to do it all over again the prosecution would have to decide whether to pursue the case in this case it's almost unthinkable that they would not do so but right now we're waiting to see if that jury comes up with a unanimous decision but before that we have closing arguments from each side offering their most aggressive summary of this case on monday and johnny you've been that day in day out what is your failing what are you hearing about how the defense has full its because. at the end of the day they do have histor

up for debate or what is being debated in the courtroom is was this reasonable force used by derek chauvet the answer according to the most senior police officer with the most experience in minneapolis is absolutely not and it just left very little to the imagination just devastating testimony for the defense you know why don't we actually polls gabriel and have a listen to richard zimmerman in his own words as you said minneapolis is longest serving police officer he believed the level of force used was not justified. what is your. you know your view of that use of force during that time totally unnecessary what do you mean. well 1st of all. pulling him down to the ground face down and putting your nguyen a neck for that amount of that amount of time. is just. uncalled for. i saw no reason why the officers felt they were in danger if the what they felt. and that's what they would have to feel to be able to use a kind of force. so in your opinion should that restraint have stopped once he was handcuffed and prone on the ground absolutely so they sent the defense on the cross-examination we

lawyers we look at this as something that is systemic this police violence is not just about derrick chauvet and so regardless of the verdict you know we've been doing this work for the past 50 years addressing systemic police violence looking fundamentally at how this affects black liberation and human rights and we know that it's not just about one cop it's not just about one police department or when city that this is systemic violence that anti-black violence that needs to be addressed at its core and the goal of our commission of inquiry and of this report is to help folks to see how bad can happen what are the findings that this international commission made what are the recommendations and to bring this issue of the police violence in the united states against black people to the international arena and as families and organizations attempted to do less june and by bringing it to the united nations thank you for that james you and i have known each other for a couple of decades and i have been reading your writings and your thoughts and concerns on exactly what we're talking about tod

the police chief testified today in the murder trial of former officer derek chauvet. the chief said that he vehemently disagrees with show van's use of force that day. and that show vin not only violated de escalation policy by placing his knee on george floyd's neck but also violated the department's policy by not giving aid to floyd after he said 30 times that he couldn't breathe in no way she performs anything that. is by policy is not part of our training and it is certainly not part of our ethics or values. in cross examination, the chief did agree with the defense that recent changes in police policy encouraged officers to use their body weight and ju jitsu style moves and noted that neck were stained restraints were legal. when floyd died, the city of san francisco was reportedly discussing a ban on city contracts and travel to georgia in response to the state's new controversial voting. laws the effort follows major league baseball's decision to relocate their all star game from atlanta to denver because of the new voting laws. but fox news lauren blanchard te
