joining me now on the ground in minneapolis to tell us more, ali velshi, msnbc correspondent, host ofy beginning. ali, thank beginning. thank you very much for being here. what are you looking for at the start of this trial? >> reporter: a couple of things. i've been speaking to people in minneapolis who think the trial should lead to a conviction, which would be some form of just nice the death of george floyd and larger reflection on policing in america. others look at this and say it's difficult to convict a police officer of the killing of a person, in particular, a black person. it typically hasn't happened in america. what the defense is going to point out is that the -- along with his preexisting heart condition could have contributed to his preexisting condition rather than derek chauvin being on neck. the issues are george floitd was seen on camera pleading for his life. asking them not to kill him and saying "i can't breathe" there were onlookers of videos of people asking to check his pulse. derek chauvin did not rise up from being on his neck after it seemed george floyd w
