prosecutors said george floyd did not die because his heart was too big but derrek chauvin' was too small. they delivered a verdict that speaks powerfully. the floyd family reacting to it. the verdict speaks, as well, to the witnesses and the guilt they said of being unable to stop a killinging taking place before their eyes and the jury helped the sum of the burden, the verdict also lifted the doom we've been conditioned each time a jury dell liiberates. president biden and vice president harris, prosecutor and state attorney general spoke to the significance of this day and moment. >> today, we feel a sigh of relief so it cannot take away the pain. a measure of justice isn't the same as equal justice. this verdict brings us a step closer and the fact is we still have work to do. >> we can never be any safe harbor for hate in america. i said it many times, the battle for the soul of this nation has been a constant push and pull for more than 240 years. a tug-of-war between the american idea we're all created equal and the harsh reality that racism is long torn us apart. at our best, the

we must dismantle the systems that allow and have allowed the derrek chauvins to thorive we must evolve as a people and society. our greatest failure will be to do nothing knowing what we know. thank you. >> thank you, john. >> the crowds, actually right now rs 15 another interview i'd like you to hear. >> this is not a silver bullet this is not it but this is a step to right from wrong and communities justlike this all over america this is a pivot point for us we came here to support our teachers and public schools and students and everybody in this community because this is a lesson, a lesson that was learned and taught the lesson that was learned today was that we have a judicial system that says no one is above the law, and, you know, the lesson taught from all of us that just says, you know, do the right thing and you'll be okay no matter your color, no matter your economic background the american idea you can still have and this country is still the best place in the world. >> from the streets in minneapolis also listening to local coverage on care 11. their 5:00 news has just beg

refer back to the pulmountil gist and yesterday he clearly said george floyd died as a result of derrek chauvin ad the other police officers causing him not to be able to breathe. >> do you have a sense of how long the prosecution may continue to present their case? >> well, it is my understanding that they're nearing the end and i know that floyd family members are scheduled to testify early next week. >> and do you -- i'm wondering what you think of what the defense has been doing. >> well, i honestly think the defense has done exactly what we thought they would do. they would try to distract us. they would try to have us look over here, look over there and not focus on the video they blame everybody and everything except derrick chauvin. they blame the crowd. this angry black people who were begging for georgia's life as a reason why derek chauvin kept his knee on george floyd's neck 9 minutes and 29 seconds. they try to blame the paramedics. they tried to blame trace amounts of drugs, but anderson, we all know when we watch that video on may 25th, 2020, what killed george floyd and i believ

this program last night, we noted that between the police killing of doaunte wrigh, the trial of derrek chauvin and the police shooting of a seventh grader, it was a lot and late last night a gunman opened fire at a fedex facility in india indianapolis. eight people were killed by a 19-year-old former employee and several wounded or hurt. countless more tonight are living the nightmare of losing someone close and the toll extends beyond the victims and next of kin. this we know from experience. the shock waves they ripple out over time and distance. 14 years ago tonight the country was reeling from the loss of 32 lives at virginia tech university. do you remember that shooting? a month ago we watched the horrible images from two mass shootings in and around atlanta. seems along time ago, doesn't it? mass shootings are so common it may be soon hard for one not to fall on the anniversary of another. this is a map of mass shootings in just the last month, which were defining as four or more people shot, wounded or killed excludeing the gunman. one other thing to note, there is only room on the map

weeks of testimony from dozens of witnesses and hours of video evidence as they decide whether derrek chauvin is guilty of the three charges, second degree unintentional murder, third degree murder, second degree manslaughter. the jury just -- the jury must reach unanimous verdict on each charge to convict or acquit. and with chauvin's future in the hands of the jury, minneapolis is preparing for more protests and possibly more violence. you can see right there, businesses near the courthouse, they boarded up. national guard troops have been deployed to the downtown area and razor wire and barricades have also been put up. and it's not just minneapolis now. other cities across the country are preparing as well, stepping up security ahead of the eventual verdict. let's start in minneapolis. sara sidner is live outside the courthouse. it is now watch and wait. what you are hearing about jury deliberations so far? >> the jury has been deliberating -- they deliberated four hours yesterday from 4:00 to can and started deliberations today at 9:00 p.m. new york time, 8:00 p.m. local time here in min

>> i believe the prosecution made a very clear case today that derrek chauvin is guilty o second degree murder. their story that they told in a very analytical, methodical very graphic process, they really tied together all the elements for second degree murder and they showed the jury how they can reach it. now, we are hopeful of that conviction and that they all concur that there was a crime at that second degree murder level. >> chauvin's defense attorney eric nelson, you heard him argue that this case is about much more than those 9 minutes and 29 seconds, that jurors need to look at the resistance leading up to that point. how do you respond to that? >> i can only respond that is such a gross distortion of what this case is about. you know, eric nelson wants you to believe that this case started the day before, you know, when george floyd went to sleep. no. this case is about the event when derek chauvin was kneeling on his neck. it's a horrible distortion to try and walk the jury back 16 minutes when whatever force was used in order to subdue him or put the handcuffs on him has no

. >>> coming up, key developments in the derrek chauvin murder trial today as the medical examiner who george floyd's autopsy today by his conclusion it was a homicide. >>> we're also waiting for public remarks by matt gaetz as he fends off a sex trafficking probe and a new house ethics committee investigation. do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy, even a term policy, for an immediate cash payment. we thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. but we quickly realized that we needed a way to supplement our income. if you have one hundred thousand dollars or more of life insurance you may qualify to sell your policy. don't cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what it's worth. visit conventrydirect.com to find out if you policy qualifies. or call the number on your screen. coventry direct, redefining insurance. a lot of people think dealing with copd is a walk in the park. if i have something to help me breathe better, everything will be fun and nice. but i still have bad days flare-ups (coughs), which can permanentl

ahead tonight a revealing and surprising look how the derrek chauvin trial is being seen by people watching at cub foods, the corner store outside which george floyd died with chauvin's knee on his neck. the trial itself, more expert testimony on the use of that knee today and though there were inconsistencies at times, the thrust appeared damaging to the defense. some came out under cross-examination and chauvin's instructor saying quote, we tell officers to stay away from the neck when possible. details now from cnn's josh campbell. >> reporter: one by one veteran members of the minneapolis police department took the stand. >> thank you. >> reporter: each part of the department's training force. today's testimony added to the chorous of police department witnesses who said derek chauvin's knee on the neck was not part of their training. >> would bit appropriate and within training to hold a subject with the prone position with a knee on the neck and a knee on the back for an ex end theed period of time after the subject stopped offering any resistance? >> no, sir. >> or has lost their pul

former members of the minneapolis police department, have testified against their former colleague derrek chauvin. you and your colleague write in the post, a dangerous code of silence is crumb blling. >> what we've seen in testimony with chief arradarradondo, this testimony i've never seen in all the years i've been hand hling these types of cases. you have the top of the department coming out speaking against one of their own. why is this so unusual? because typically you only get these sorts of admissions maybe on cross examination. chief arradondo came out and spoke directly to the public, to the attorneys about what derek chauvin did, that he act ed illegally and against policy, that he acted without humanity, without dignity. he didn't give george the medical treatment that he wanted. what ben and i are seeing here is that this is what we need, the leadership that chief arradondo showed is what we need in order to break this thin blue line, the code of silence, and have officers with courage to come out and speak up when they see misconduct, when they see bad deeds. that's what we're asking
