the 1st few days of the trial over the death of george floyd have been packed with emotional testimony and harrowing footage the court has just wrapped up thursday's proceedings were floyd's girlfriend was among those who spoke for the 1st time courtney ross told the court about their struggles with drug addiction prosecutors hope her testimony will humanize floyd and portray him as more than a crime statistic but the lawyers defending derrick show ven the former police officer on trial for murder one to suggest drug use could have been a factor in the death. it was your belief that mr ford started using again about 2 weeks prior to his death correct i mean does that change in behavior that's when you noticed the changes in his vehicle. and you described some of those changes in his behavior in that time frame right. here do you recall telling the f.b.i. that there would be times that he would just be up in bouncing around and then there would be times he would be. unintelligible. i don't know if there. would you disagree if i said that in the transcript about the. 2 of floyd's girlfri

george floyd's family receives justice. but, they still lost george floyd. and so on the one hand, we see guilty verdicts, activists getting what they've called for in this case, something that looks like accountability. on the other hand, george floyd was still killed. he was still underneath former officer derek chauvin's knee for more than nine minutes. and the verdicts today don't change that. >> o'donnell: but does it encourage the type of reform that's needed legislatively? >> well, it can cut in both directions. one thing i would note is a lot of the reforms that have been proposed nationally and locally are reforms that would not have saved george floyd's life, that had some of these pieces of legislation been passed, george floyd still would have been killed if the officer chose to do this. i do think this does help build momentum on capitol hill. but there's a secondary question of whether or not the legislation being considered will, in fact, speak to the problems that the folks in the street are talking about. on the other hand, there's also a ch

-- note on the neck of george floyd -- knelt on the neck of george floyd last may.his is a politically explosive murder trial. how is the biden administration, the white house currently thinking? >> president biden has weighed into this issue for the better part of the past year. candidate biden earlier today ahead of a meeting with congressional members, the president waited into it -- the president waded into it further saying the evidence overwhelmingly cited with one verdict. he did not mention which, but he has been sympathetic to the floyd family. joe: in terms of the broader questions allowed police, legal defenses for police, is there a broader white house plan to address this sort of -- go from a single case to a sort of broader policy push? >> no, you're absolutely right. that is something the administration has been talking about for a while. he plans to reform police, looking at immunity, the militarization of police, etc. what is interesting is he had been under fire from activists in the left wing of his party in recent weeks for their perception that

of what derek chauvin did to george floyd.her with mace, darnella frazier held her ground and she kept recording. she then posted her video on facebook, and the police lie instantly began to crumble. >> probably close to midnight a community member had contacted me and said, chief, almost verbatim but said "chief, have you seen the video of your officer choking and killing that man at 30th and chicago?" and so once i heard that statement, i just knew it wasn't the same milestone camera video that i had saw. and eventually within minutes after that i saw for the first time what is now known as the bystander video. >> darnella frazier changed the police chief's mind about what happened on that street, and the next day derek chauvin was fired. when darnella frazier testified in the trial, she said she wished she did more. >> when i look at george floyd, i look at -- i look at my dad. i look at my brothers. i look at my cousins, my uncles. because they are all black. i have a black father. i have a black brother. i have black frie

you see him in george floyd.rs black men have, either you become george floyd or your son becomes george floyd. we've been wrapping our arms around our sons. yesterday there was a young black girl gunned down, 15 years old. the facts are still coming out. but still, it's a life lost. so for kai, this may sound strange to you, kate, and i think i've said it before, i want kai to be able to be like baron trump, to go out and be a teenager and do crazy tiktok dances that i can't keep up be and love songs by lil baby. i sound old right now. >> you do, and you're, like, 12. >> but instead she has to wear a sign that says your life matters. instead she has to protest in the streets. understand when daddy is down it's because he sees himself in george floyd. we have a long way to go with our children. hopefully i'll leave a better world for them than the one i inherited. >> you are, you will. yeah, thank you, buddy. so good to have this conversation with you. it's the beginning, middle and definitely not the end of it.

lasted for about 15 minutes john not very long but did we hear a compelling account there of george floyd's life. yeah it was brief but emotional at one point. fellow news floyd talked about how george floyd was really especially connected to his mother and he recalled how when his mother died george floyd knelt by the casket and kept saying mama mama over and over again and it can't be lost on the jury that in that viral video that we've all watched as the life was leaving his body george floyd shouted out mama i love you mama over and over. the jury is going to make that connection one thinks between. george floyd's love of his mother and what he's said during those last minutes of his life and i think that's what the prosecution was trying to get out here this is called the spark of life testimony because it's not designed to give real information to the jury about the case it's supposed to give them information about the person who died in this case giving life putting a face on george floyd into allowing them to see who he was as a person in their for the price the sacrifice that his f

as to what might have caused the death of george floyd and obviously. the fact that he had drugs in his system is going to be and has started to obviously be one of the main arguments of the fence and we can see the defense prosecutor. the defense attorney there let's go to alan fischer who is following developments for us just outside court in let me ask you this allan what have you made of the past hour or so. this is really just a boat lying the training that police officers get when it comes to dealing with those who may suffer a medical emergency when they're in their custody the defense making it very clear that the given the techniques and the tools to be able to shoot people such as george floyd if you suddenly became unconscious what the defense are trying to do in the still trying to build this case at the moment is that everything becomes slightly more complicated if someone is on drugs and we know that derek children believe that george floyd was in drugs certainly there was an interesting hours of evidence this morning here in minneapolis w
