to get up and not to let out george floyd died. and these actions were a substantial factor in george waitstaff. and these actions make no mistake these actions were not policing these actions were an assault so as the judge instructed you for 2nd degree murder and it's actually very simple if you find that the defendant committed this 3rd degree assault while committing the salty cause george floyd's death defense guilty of murder that's the way felony word works in minnesota so the 2 elements of the defendant assaulted george what is that assault is the intentional infliction of bodily harm upon another or the attempt to do so intentional infliction of bodily harm that requires proof that the defendant intentionally applied unlawful force to another person without that person's consent and then the act resulted in. intentional did it on purpose he did the thing on purpose. bodily harm physical pain. illness or impairment of a person's physical condition so again to be very very clear state does not have to prove that the defendant

the experts are making george floyd more human, not less. as each witness testifies, it further confirms that who the defense wants george floyd to be is not who george floyd actually was. what they wanted him to be doing, when they tried to arrest him, is not what he was doing. the defense wants us to think that george floyd's death was george floyd's fault. but the men and women who took the stand have rejected that view time and time again. >> the cause of death is a low level of oxygen that caused the brain damage and caused the heart to stop. >> mr. floyd died from of saying that he had no oxygen left in his body. >> the primary mechanism was low oxygen. >> george floyd did not die because of a pre-existing health condition. or because drugs were in his system. he died because derek chauvin put his knee on his neck starving his brain of oxygen. for the last year, we could all see that george floyd was not resisting arrest. we could all see that despite his cries for help and the pleas from onlookers to stop, derek chauvin did not stop. h

and egregious and disgraceful and deadly due to this former officer's actions, george floyd lost his life and were it notctions, george floyd would be alive and so justice was served today. justice prevailed. that's the good thing but what makes this day not a happy one is that george floyd lost his life while in police custody. >> you know, we're talking to chief charles ramsey who we have here onset who is talking about how, you know, there are systemic problems and not just with police but in the criminal justice system and, you know, our lawmakers, our society needs to take a long and hard and serious look and revisit and rethink an awful lot about our criminal justice system. do you see that as possible? is there -- >> you know, anderson, i do. it's not just in the criminal justice system. i think it's in all systems. you know, we talk about holding america to its promise as it pertains to law enforcement and we will do that. you know, this week seeing the police chief, the lieutenant, the training officer, all testify that that's not our policy nor is it our ethics and values, that's a good start s

from the speedway gas station which has become the centre of the activism around the case of george floyd. not the board says �*justice for george floyd.�* 0n the board, you would usually see gas prices. they have been counting down the days of the trial, day 13, 14. today, they put a new notice, justice served? and that question mark is important because in the eyes of the activists here, they are saying that lots more needs to be done to dismantle systemic racism. an activist told us that this warrior like training police get to deal with the community and it's like dealing with an enemy and this needs to stop. this verdict does not change that. that's a really fascinating insight into what is happening there and also some of the kind of questions that are now being asked about what exactly does happen next. you mentioned there, changing the culture, changing the attitudes of policing. what is the level of confidence here that that does mark a significant change? it is a step in the right direction, i have heard here. the activists who set up this space to close down the street so this place

apologising to george floyd for not doing more, - and not physically interacting... saw some really emotional testimony from those who were there, who witnessed george floyd die. what was it like, seeing that through their eyes for you and the family? the testimony has been like a band—aid, and then, a scab that you peel off a wound, and it heals a little bit, and you keep peeling it off for the family the entire time. you could see the family saying, listen, if someone would've just listened, he'd be here today and none of us would be here talking about this. prosecutors called witness after witness to bolster their case that chauvin�*s actions were clearly unreasonable to the people watching. bystander donald williams broke down on the stand as he listened to back to the call he made to emergency services... the defence tried to convince the jury that the crowd — presented as concerned citizens — were an angry mob that distracted the officers. it's fair to say that you grew angrier and angrier. no, i grew professional and professional. i stayed in my body. you can't

the cross-examination of dr william smock and he has been testifying among other things that george floyd did not have a fentanyl overdose and that's important because the defense is alternative theory of this case is that george floyd died due to a combination of problems heart trouble that he'd had for a while and also a drug overdose or so they are arguing well there you have dr william smock saying he did not die of a drug overdose any ticked off one by one of the reasons why in watching the video you could not see evidence that george floyd was experiencing a kind of overdose and before that you had dr william aizen schmidt who went through the amounts of drugs that were found in george floyd's body he said when it comes to methamphetamine it was the equivalent of one prescribe dose of methamphetamine not much he said and when it comes to 'd fence you know he said it was below the median level found in the driving under the influence cases that he had examined and he summarized by saying he really wasn't that that much drugs in george floyd system but really the star witness of the day perha

resident of the appaloosas to watch those bystander videos over and over here and into here george floyd probably not for help and so you better read and to see those bystander shy and desperate need to get the police to actually do their jobs and release george floyd in treatment with dignity. when it came up we've all seen in the media hype around this trial what do you believe has the coverage actually missed out on or just didn't understand about the minneapolis community who is anxiously awaiting justice to finally be served in this case what do you think they're missing the media writ large is missing about the community because that's not actually included in a lot of the conversations that we're seeing on media. right so i think when we watch the coverage a lot of the focus is on what you know and showing did and did not you and not on looking at the system as a whole which produced a monster like their children in the 1st place the man had over and getting complaints during its nearly 20 year teen you're with the minneapolis police department it was also involved in other deadly force incide

george floyd. it looked like they were trying to kill him. alexander king had his knee in george floyd's back. notk chauvin pressing on his neck but alexander king had his knee in george floyd's back. he didn't take his knee off until the paramedics arrived. george floyd says i can't breathe. the only time they responded was somebody said you are talking. they are totally indifferent to the plight of this human being. this is an indictment of the u.s. police if i have ever seen one. nermeen: rashad robinson, could you respond that? is the policing on trial? color of change has led a campaign to expose police unions. could you explain what role you think police unions play? rashad: it is a multi-part strategy. on one hand you end up with the unions to lobby for policy qualified immunity. it was just outlawed in new york city. police officers are not typically liable for anything they do on the job. they could build up these big funds to p f the legal defense of someone like derek chauvin and police officers around the country. they never have to raise money to actually do civil defenses. they are o

and that he was not alive and then they went on to say that when they arrived. derek chauvinist still had his knee on george floyd's neck while he was not alive george floyd and that nobody was trying to administer any sort of help to george floyd that was a pretty key part of the testimony today i thought because it pretty much lays to rest any possible defense argument that maybe george floyd was still alive and he died later at the hospital or something to that effect that's clearly not the case and that was very clear today in the testimony so i think that was a major takeaway 2nd i think the testimony and you're seeing right now excuse me the family of george floyd coming out of the courtroom i don't know if he can scuse me barbara this is some warriors for the family and also george floyd's brother in the blue suit. how do you feel the trial went today. ok that was they didn't respond when i asked them how how they thought the trial went today they didn't respond but that was george floyd's brother he's one of 2 family members that are in the courtroom throughout all of this trial so far as i was saying barba

police officer accused of killing george floyd has said that he will not testify in his own defense derek chauvin was seen in a witness video kneeling on the black man's neck for more than 9 minutes during that deadly arrest chauvin told the judge he take the 5th amendment referring to the u.s. constitutional rights against self incrimination. i have advised you and we have gone back and forth on the matter would be understand right now. but after the meeting. last night we had some further discussion. and have you made a decision today whether you intend to testify or whether you intend to invoke your 5th amendment privilege. well before going on recess the prosecution put medical expert dr matson tobin back on the stand he's previously testified george floyd died because of low oxygen levels the defense has finished calling witnesses setting the stage for closing arguments to take place next week monday let's go to our correspondent john hendren who is in minneapolis and john the key moment today was hearing that derek 7 will not be testifying is that what we expected. when we really di

the fact that we are now understanding and talking about this not as isolated incidents but understanding the longevity of jeff george floydt the fact that we watched a homicide -- longevity of this. the damage of george floyd was not just the fact that we watched a homicide. it comes down to the fact that we watch how these acts and issues of systemic racism to show themselves in not just policing, whether you are watching about educational attainment, wealth, maternal mortality, basic asset allocation, it is race. it is impossible to understand this without disaggregating the importance of it. the platform for progress is the fact that we are now having immature and honest -- having a mature and honest conversation about what it will take to move into a more honest space. a space where it is not just oppressed populations demanding justice. david: many african-american men of your age or older have told me of their own life experiences where they were stopped by police or things -- for things that did not seem appropriate to them at the time. have you had -- appropriate to them at the time. have you had those experiences
