called it george floyd square.e visited that neighborhood a few weeks ago and walked around to see what it was like. the whole place was awful, it was not improved, it was much worse, nothing at that blm has done in the city of minneapolis has improved the lives of the people who live there. on saturday night a man was sho to death in that neighborhood. reporter for the washington examiner tried to get to george floyd square to find out what happened he couldn't, he was informed no white people were allowed in. so that is a snapshot of the equity that george floyd's deat has been used to. this second reason we're going to assess what exactly happened to george floyd is that it's likely that derek chauvin won't receive a fair trial. you not you may not care, but you should care. that should matter to you, ever american deserves a fair trial. that is the whole point of this country, equal justice under th law, there is no other point. but will chauvin have a fair trial? hundreds of activists have been steering down n

but what we don't always know is that george washington had another site to. this is typically missed in history. he could be a visionary at a dreamer and he also could be a political player is not a political chessmaster. by the same token almost all americans have been to our capital city. americans love their capital city. it's spacious grand boulevards, memorials and monuments, the majestic government buildings, the tree-lined mall but very few americans know the story of how the capital city came to be and almost didn't come to be. that's why we're here today to talk about. i swear it against for story begins in newburgh, new york. this is along the edge of the hudson at the end of the revolutionary war. not too far today from fdr's hyde park west point if anybody has been there. the main battle of the revolutionary war was about of yorktown which was september and october 1781. yorktown that would be the last major battle of the war. after yorktown for about two years was what we could call a cold war. the british hunkered down in new york city. washingt

>> i think it continues to humanize george floyd. i think for the last few days, they have done an incredible job of having emotional testimony, pulling the jury toward him. i think this continues this continues in the last few moments before he interacts with the police it shows him to be a person like the rest of us i think that's -- the prosecution is doing a very effective job. >> we will try to get your audio fixed. in the meantime, paul butler, one of the first questions was about -- are we back in trial? i'm sorry. i don't think so paul butler, one of the questions that was first -- was about the demeanor that they saw of george floyd. christopher martin said, it appeared he was high but he was able to hold a conversation with him. he was talking to him about whether he was in sports, that kind of thing. why do you think they started there? >> it's a great strategic move on the part of the prosecution we know the defense is going to say that floyd was high on drugs and that's one reason that the force used against him by chauv

and that is some evidence that george floyd was under the influence. it will center prominently in their defense of causeuaation. >> and i know we're anticipating the trial coming back and what's next, and obviously, we know that there's only a limited amount of eyewitnesss that they plan to go through and we get to expert testimony do we have an idea of what kind of experts they're going to be bringing on? >> we do and we learned from the opening statements that the prosecution in terms of -- the prosecution will be bringing the police chief, for example, to talk about the excessive use of force. they say -- the police chief will say that derek chauvin used excessive force. there are some sergeants that will come up and testify but, chuck, if i may, you mentioned the escalation in this and how did it get to the point that george floyd was on the ground i will say, after watching several minutes of body camera video, at least two different body cameras, more is to come. there are several angles that we haven't seen yet and this cup food surveillance vi

george floyd. that he put his knee on his neck and his back, grinding and crushing him until the very breath, no, ladies and gentlemen, until the very life was squeezed out of him. you will learn that he was well aware that mr. floyd was unarmed and mr. floyd had not threaten anyone. mr. floyd was in handcuffs and in the control of police. he was defenseless. >> telling jurors a dispatcher was so disturbed by what happened that she called the police on the police. >> you will learn that there was a dispatcher, her name was genna scurry. she's going to come and talk to you also. there was a fixed police officer camera that was screened on this particular scene. she could see what was going on. you will see what she saw was so unusual that for her so undisturbing -- sorry, so disturbing that she did something she had never done. she called the police on the police, a 911 dispatcher. she called sergeant david blinker who's going to come to testify. she called him to report what she saw because it was

george floyd. that's what we need to start referring to it as, a torture video. >> as you know, the defense is also going to be allowed to introduce this video from a similar arrest back in 2019, ben, and it's going to show reportedly george floyd being dragged from a car and uttering some of the same things that he uttered in this video. how concerned are you about this new video that's going to be allowed to be introduced to the jurors? >> craig, i want to make it clear, this is not a hard case. everybody keeps trying to say this is a hard, difficult case. if george floyd was a white american citizen, nobody would say this is a hard case. everything they're trying to do is assault his character so they can distract us from what happened in the video. as philonise said, and we all know what killed george floyd was a knee on his neck while he said i can't breathe 28 times. so america, the whole world is watching. do we really have equality and justice for all? >> philonise, this is a trial that cou

i think that george floyd deserves better. and also, what you have to understand as you watch this trial, and i hope everyone will keep in mind that when you and i talk about issues like this, we're speaking at a very high level about the way the law works. that's not the way the law works in a courtroom, though. it's not as though people read the law, then decide what they're going to do. people figure out what they're going to do, then look to a way to justify it by using the law. and that's what you saw with that 2019 arrest video. supposedly it relates to the cause of death in this case and as ridiculous as that sounds, we're going to have an argument in this trial over what caused george floyd's death. underlying health issues or drug use or derek chauvin's knee on his neck for nine minutes. the answer is obvious but that's the justification that judge cahill gave for presenting a video where now the jury will hear that george floyd was arrested before. they're going to see a photograph of drugs in his vehicle when he was
