in march's days 7 did with expert testimony you summarize some of it right there you did have jodi steiger that los angeles police department sergeant who said that there was excessive force and b. he said that at the same time as derek children was kneeling on the neck of george floyd he was also using what they called a pain compliance technique and that is they showed a close up of. crushing the fingers of george floyd as he was doing that the idea behind that as steiger said was to release the pain as the subject complies and he was asked what if the subject is not resisting and he said ben it's just pain we also had a bit of excitement when a prosecution witness named special agent james ryerson of the state of minnesota was saying that he was asked by the defense if he had heard george floyd say something they played it very hard to understand and the defense lawyer said did you understand george floyd to say there i ate too many drugs and said yes then the prosecution back that tape up again played it for me again and asked him if that's really what he heard and he said no now what

sergeant jodi steiger described us when the apparent attempts to get him into custody were futile and wrote his quote. the futility of their efforts became apparent they were able to get him into the car 3 minneapolis police officers were not able to get mr ford into the car they themselves are experiencing that that surge of adrenaline a reasonable police officer will be experiencing that surgeon or drug. and again balancing all of the evidence against each other. let's look at 3 different angles of this struck. this is officer king's body here. are. the hours oh oh i'm about to about what i gave the squad where they all are for a memory. that are right for the room all right are i was the hour was. up i would not go ok you believe they see me. as you go to jail you could be under arrest right now for $400.00. are the ones who want to know what was where we were. going to come out you bet you how they got that everyone on the ground would be. so your arrest for forgery or do you feel much. this is about the video of the same time period from officer wait for. our our our our over the

ultimately, the two experts the state has presented jody steiger and another to disagree and they disagreed with each other. as you myriads of inconsistent complicated uses of force opinions that really demonstrated the difficulty of establishing beyond a reasonable doubt the use of force objectively and reasonable which is the standard under greyhound versus connor. and ultimately that been the object reasonable at some point. the question is when did become and we have again six or seven different opinions on that and in addition your honor, medical evidence and again as the court is aware the cause of death needs to be proven beyond reasonable doubt that you have the testimony of doctor tobin, doctor rich and another who ultimately testified as to also doctor lindsay thomas, this for doctors ultimately concluded it that it was a fictional death however, likewise they presented doctor baker's testimony which was in large part while he declared in a homicide for medical purposes, which is not a statement of criminal obligations, or criminal standard. but doctor baker suggested something mu

we've just been hearing witness testimony by sergeant jody steiger patrol officer with the l.a. the los angeles police a consultant for use of force and i think. for the past 20 minutes or so we've really heard from the prosecution laying out sergeant steiger's credentials when it comes to the use of force presumably before asking him for comment all in the events that led to george floyd's death the actions of both officer derek chauvinist former officer now and his 3 colleagues let's go back to the trial . you have. conducted in this case and these upon your own experience and training in law enforcement have you reach an opinion as to the degree in amount of force used by the defendant mr chavez on george would use. can i ask you to explain to the jury a little bit about what process or methodology you go through to render such an opinion. there's a few steps the main step is going through the objective reasonable a standard which is based off the ground versus connor looking at the seriousness of the seriousness of the crime looking at the person's actions things that nature

use of force his name is jody steiger he said i felt the force was excessive he went on to say that at the beginning they were trying to hobble george floyd that's where you essentially hog tie hands and feet and said in the end they did not do that and bat suggests that floyd wasn't that much of a threat to them and that they had made that assessment so all in all it was a day with victories for both sides but because it is the prosecution that has to prove its case now the defense has a couple openings to argue for reasonable doubt that derek yoven committed murder which is what he's accused of so what can we expect tomorrow and in the next year weeks. interestingly the day ended and our early with the l.a.p.d. officer jodi steiger midway through his chest of money the prosecution hadn't even physically finished questioning him and then of course there will be a cross-examination for the defense so that's how the day starts tomorrow with more expert testimony and interestingly the los angeles police department is known for the rodney king beating 30 years ago so when you're being acc

of the most exciting moments right there that was when los angeles police department sergeant jody steiger said that the use of force that derek shows and carried out on george floyd was unjustified and he also did something else that we didn't know before they showed us a freeze frame and it had children holding george floyd's hand in a way that the officer said represented and what i'm talking about the officer i'm talking about jodi steiger the expert testifying said that was that's a police hold designed to cause pain and the idea is that you release the pain you diminish the pain as that subject cooperates with you and he was asked well what happens if the subject is not resisting and he said well then it's just pain the implication from that is that in his eyes it seemed like children was simply causing pain to george floyd in 2 different ways one with his knee on the neck one by crimping his hand long after he was no longer resisting arrest at all and then you had a series of witnesses you had a special agent james ryerson of the bureau of criminal apprehension a state agency and he
