he would have survived that day of course is talking about the needling of the police officer derrick chauvin who's on trial over the death of george floor 8 the doctor has been cross-examined by the defense by eric nelson and the defense has been focusing on george floyd's medical history as well as his drug use so the main focus of this day today day levon in the 3rd week of the derrick show vein trial has been on this doctor's testimony we want to bring in now john hendren who's in minneapolis who's been listening into the trial so john the doctor the cardiologist has been cross-examined by the defense stopped his testimony and again the focus of the defense seems to be on the medical records of george floyd and on his use of drugs. that's right the defense is searching for another reason that george floyd could have died other than derrick chauvinism the on his neck and they've got a theory that he died of a drug overdose they've also thrown out there that he had narrowed arteries and then they even offered the possibility there in cross-examination that he had a tumor in his pelvis calle

police officer accused of murdering george floyd the minneapolis police chief has testified that derrick chauvin violated department policy when he kneeled on floyd's neck the police chief said sjogren's actions were counter to his training and that he also failed to give 1st aid before an ambulance arrived because derek chopin is facing charges of 2nd degree murder and other counts after a video of floyd's jebus set off protests against racial injustice and police brutality and with let's have a listen to part of the police chief's testimony when mr floyd was no longer responsive and even motionless to continue to apply. that level of force. to a person. pronoun. handcuffed behind their back. that in no way shape or form is anything that. is by policy it's not her training and it is certainly not her about we're joined now by our washington correspondent stephanie simons who has been a following in this trial for us definitely welcome back we just heard there from the minneapolis police chief what is the significance of his testimony. or use the 4th senior police officer testifying on behalf of

george floyd supervisor on the day i'm sorry derrick chauvinism supervisor on the day george floyd died he had made it in testimony that the use of force a tactic that derrick show in was using was inappropriate that he. that you only put a needle on a suspects neck until they are handcuffed and until they are fully restrained and then you do no longer use that tactic well george ford was handcuffed even before he was put on that face down on the cement and he was clearly several minutes into the 9 minute. video. he was clearly fully restrained in fact he was. dead and had no pulse for multiple minutes and derek children still had his knee in george floyd's neck and the fact that the police commander admitted that that was not following police proper protocols was certainly an important take away from today's testimony as well. and we also heard a lot of testimony from george floyd's girlfriend about drug use and how they both use drugs and that is undoubtedly going to play a huge part in the evidence of the trial especially the fence. yet is there are 2 things that the defense is reall

use of force expert has testified that former police officer derrick chauvin was justified in pinning george floyd to the ground in the us city of minneapolis broods said that's because of what he describes as frantic resistance it contradicts the testimonies of several top minneapolis police officials including the city's police chief who said trayvon used excessive unjustified force chauvin knelt on floyd's neck for more than 9 minutes during an arrest last may i felt that derek chauvin was justified and was acting with objective reasonable ness following minneapolis police department policy in current standards of law enforcement and his interactions with mr floyd so the judge in an office and after his conduct it's more of a challenge to again put yourself in the officer shoes to try to make an evaluation through what they're feeling what they're sensing the fear they have and then make a determination well john hendren is following the trial in minneapolis. it was a dramatic reversal today on day 12 that's because the prosecution rested its case and the defense began calling its

who of course fired derrick chauvin after the death of george foid he was being questioned and asked for his assessment on the use of force specifically by a police officer and he referred to the minneapolis police department's our own manual their own instructions on this matter which is very important he focused at one point on. on the use of restraints and chief confirmed that it shouldn't be used against someone who is passively resisting he said that the treatment of george floyd specifically the neck restraint was a violation of the department's own policy. important he said this while looking at an image of the facial expression on george floyd's face as he was being held down on the street by show than he was pressing his knee into his neck he said that when i look at exhibit 17 facial expression mr ford that does not appear in any way shape or form that it is a lie that is light to moderate pressure i agree it violates our policy i think alan fisher is standing by for us and obvious sees listening to all of this and joins us now and really we have from the prosecution alan a

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 believe the jury listened to every word of this testimony and they know what killed george floyd. the only thing we all doubt, anderson, is -- the only thing we all wonder still is can we get equal justice in america as a marginalized minority when a police officer uses excessive force against us? >> do you think derek chauvin will take the stand in his own defense? >> i think it's going to be a very desperate attempt to salvage his defense of him taking the stand and the more strategic the prosecution is and building this very compelling case, it may necessitate that derrick chauvin take the stand. most lawyers would never let their cl

minneapolis was already running high before this latest incident as a white former police officer derrick chauvin is currently on trial they're charged with the murder of george floyd the president is appealing for peace. the last moments of don't have rights life be courted by the body come of the police officer who fatally shot him. 22 year old reuters arrested during a traffic stop. he struggles free and gets back in the car then. police say the footage shows that the officer used her gun by mistake. as i watched the video and listen to the officers commands is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their taser but instead shot mr wright with a single bullet. this appears to me from what i view and the officers reaction in distress immediately after that this was an accidental discharge the resulted in the tragic death of mr wright. angus spilled out onto the streets hours after rights killing. a dusk to dawn curfew was imposed to stop further on rest that protesters gathered for a 2nd night in the suburbs of minneapolis outraged by yet another death of a black man at the hands

in your mind, is there something that makes the case against derrick chauvin different? >> well, i think -- i understand completely the history, the difficulty of prosecuting and convicting a police officer for killing a black person unjustly in america. i've been black all my life and we've lived this experience. this isn't something that we watch on television, this is something we lived our entire lives but i do believe this is unique, this chauvin trial because never in my professional career have i seen our police chief and the police leadership in a department come and testify against their police officer in their department and say that what he did was not our policy. we cannot condone this. we were not in any way trying to justify this unjustifiable action of this officer. that's completely different than what we've ever seen because normally, they will hide behind the blue wall of silence, but i pray with this jury's verdict there will be a precedent set no longer will officers not tell the truth. they will tell the truth just like they want everybody in our com

. >> yeah, this tragedy obviously happened not far from the courthouse where derrick chauvin is on trial for the murder e of george floyd. what do you say to those who wonder if there is some essential problem or inherent problem of police training in minnesota or at large? >> so, you know, in minneapolis and in the minnesota area, we actually have highly trained officers. we are all very versed in best practices and very progressive in training and i think it goes beyond training. it goes beyond the classroom. it is what is happening from the time we train our officers to when they're out on the street? when there is a police culture, i think there is something to be said about that. there is always this kind of conversation of well, you know, that's the classroom. this is real life. this is where things happen swiftly and i think we need to look at what does transpired on the street versus training because we have incredible training in the state of minnesota. >> this mayor of brooklyn center says that none of the officers who work in that community actually live in the community. we'v

trial in minnesota where a cardiologist giving evidence has said the former officer derrick chauvin restrained george floyd in a life threatening manner dr jonathan rich says for died of low oxygen levels because of the way he was held chauvin is on trial after he handcuffed and now turn for its neck for more than 9 minutes after reviewing all of the facts and evidence of the case i can state with a high degree of medical certainty that george for he did not die from a primary cardiac event and he did not die from a drug overdose had he not been restrained in the way. in which he was i think he would have survived that day i think he would have gone home or wherever he was going to go had he not been subjected to the prone position restraint that he was alive to on just here's john hendren who's outside the court in minneapolis john before we talk about the the doctor's testimony and the questions he was asked i want to ask you 1st how what's happened in brooklyn center in the shooting of another black man there has played into to the trial and and what we've heard there today. well

effective witness so far and that is dr martin tobin he spoke earlier essentially saying that derrick chauvin directly caused the death of george floyd by cutting off his hair there's been some talk about whether carbon monoxide from the vehicle might have been involved we'll probably hear a little more on that but the judge said that he's going to limit what can be said about that because in his view both sides knew that this was going to be an issue so they shouldn't be introducing new information at this point in the trial and tell them some of what we've had from the defense this week because they have made their case in about 2 days after the prosecution took about 2 weeks. better the prosecution for 2 weeks essentially said 2 things they brought out the police experts including the chief with police who fired derrick chauvin the day after all of this happened and they said this was not an approved procedure you don't put someone prone down on the ground without being able to lift them back particularly if you're putting weight on their body and especially if you're putting weight on the

lieutenant richard zimmerman veteran officer of 30 years who gave the most damaging testimony against derrick chauvin of course the former officer who is charged with george floyd's murder have a listen to this. in all the years you've been working for the minneapolis police department. been trained to kneel on the neck of someone who is handcuffed behind their back proposition no i haven't. is that if that were done would that be considered force absolutely what level of force might that be. that would be the top tier the deadly force why because of. the fact that. if you need is on a person's neck that can kill a. person as a coughed. you need to turn them on their side or have them set up. you need to get them off their chest wife because of. as i mentioned earlier your muscles are pulling back when your hand cuffed and if you're laying on your chest that's constricting your breathing even more. gabriel elizondo our correspondent covering today's events in minneapolis i'll read it again i'm sorry i've done this before but i will again if your name is on a person's net it can kill them that seems t

now reaction has been pouring into the guilty verdict the case for minneapolis police officer derrick chauvin could now face of the food is in prison on 2 counts of murder one count of manslaughter after the death of george floyd last night crowd celebrated the verdict outside the court on tuesday evening. this is. quite right. but while some celebrated others took to the streets to demand tougher action over police killings of african-americans some protestors new york were calling for the abolition of the city's entire police department saying that the system's fundamentally racist. tempers were so fired up around the trial that at one point the presiding judge warned the entire process could be derailed that was after congresswoman maxine waters and courage grounds to get more compensation to show he was acquitted but the mainstream media was happy to embrace those comments. not. know. that. i don't think what she said and in any way should we should criticize her for of course we should be more confrontational do you really think she's calling for violence and most people know that that's

today and that was very broad the man you saw a little bit earlier saying that he believed that derrick chauvin was using inappropriate holding that he essentially did nothing wrong in kneeling on george floyd's neck for 9 and a half minutes on the prosecution pushed back on that pointing out that long after george floyd had stopped any kind of resistance to that arrest and after he had even stopped having a polson officer actually checked him derek show of and continued to kneel on george floyd so that might not have gone particularly well for the jury but the theory of the defense is that george floyd did not die because derek show of an old on his neck and that he died in fact from a combination of heart problems and drugs that he had in his system so that's going to be the tact the defense continues to take and so we expect to hear a number of witnesses probably some medical witnesses coming up so what we can expect and cool to the next few days what can we expect. well 1st of all i think we can expect quieter streets around the court at night because last night we had a curfew that ended a

expert for the defense and he was really their other star witness he was the guy who said that derrick chauvinism actually did nothing wrong in holding george floyd down for 9 and a half minutes in cross-examination of that medical expert fowler he acknowledged that at some point when george floyd stopped moving that jared chauvin and others should have given him medical aid the trial might actually stop at least in terms of the defense testimony today that the judge has wanted to have a 3 day weekend he wants to have arguments on monday so it is conceivable that we could see the defense rests as soon as today and the big question is are they going to put derek chauvin on the stand to defend himself. stay there for me but i may well come back to you we just want to go inside the courthouse where derek show than he has invoked his 5th amendment privilege and chose not to testify but he's justifying that to the judge at the moment he's speaking for the 1st time in his trial let's listen in defense right not to testify the state must convince you by evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the defend

department again speaking to the issue of use of force that has been the push today on day 8 of the derrick chauvin trial the use of force was that too much using experts opinion in the earlier case of a police officer not from minneapolis but who was brought in as an expert witness so let's go through some of that with alan fischer our correspondent reporting from minneapolis today. rewind a bit 1st of all the testimony along testimony that we had from sergeant jody steger from the los angeles police department adding weight initially certainly to the prosecution argument that this was quite simply a use of force which is not in the book. and that's the key takeaway from the that he said that the force that don't show the news to restrain your george floyd for the defense this shouldn't have needed someone to be held in that position was not only excessive it was lethal and that's very important because that's the case that the prosecution are trying to me that although there may be an argument that george floyd needed to be restrained for a period of time at some point it went beyond just restrai

garland the attorney general announced a probe into minneapolis police just after former officer derrick chauvin was convicted of murder in the killing of george floyd last may there is a separate civil rights criminal civil rights investigation underway into the brianna taylor death that will not be affected by this larger probe into the city and the police department i think that it's from what america arlen said it looks like. the focus will be on the practice of executing these so-called no knock warrants and what happened in the case of brianna taylor was that the police did not really announce themselves they burst into her home and had guns drawn and. did not really identify themselves according to some witnesses and then the boyfriend of brianna taylor believing that armed men were you know breaking into the home fired a warning shot he had a gun that he was legally entitled to carry and the police responded with a fuse a lot of bullets some of which killed ms taylor. cities that are under investigations of this kind often do try to cooperate or negotiate with the justice department to a
