how do you find an un—biased jury?ce of protection — we report on the battle to save the coast of the philippines from abandoned coronavirus equipment. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. britain's royal family and its advisors are reeling from a list of damaging allegations made by the duke and duchess of sussex in their interview with oprah winfrey. meghan said that she considered taking her own life and that there had been conversations within the royal family about how dark their son archie's skin might be. oprah winfrey has said it wasn't queen elizabeth or the duke of edinburgh who asked prince harry about the colour of his son's skin. so far, buckingham palace has not responded to any of the allegations, as our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. whatever the palace expected, the reality was worse with meghan describing uncaring attitudes and a racist remark from a member of the royal family. it almost broke her. were you thinking of harming yourself, having suicidal th

want on the jury. it's easy to forget that the jury is also picking a lawyer. the way the opening statement was given by the prosecution. a basic, simple trial theme and no way you come out of it without remembering nine minutes and 29 seconds and it was argumentative without drawing an objection and it took the wind out of the sails of the events in trying to perform character assassination on george floyd and it was actually overkill based on how long it went on and it was overkill in the right way and it puts them in a very effective position moving forward. >> joyce, walk us through the three different charges that chauvin faces. >> so chauvin has been charged with three different kinds of homicide, andrea. first off, there's this murder second degree charge. it's called felony murder. that means that because a death occurred while a felony assault was being committed, a murder charge is appropriate and we heard prosecutors in their opening statement reference that assault. i think the meat of the

it's very important to have what we call as the jury of your peers and that means a diverse jury whohas had diverse experiences with the police people of color are going to be critical to be sitting on that jury because what happens is that they will bring a different set of eyes to the other and they will look at the evidence through their own experiences and be able to determine whether or not those who testify. in police officers are credible or not what their experiences have been with the police and they won't rush to a quick judgment of oh please protect us we should let them go but they will be more critical of the evidence that is put before them and so that is very important now whether or not there will be people of color or the jury is a different question because we know that 1st of all we start off with the jury pool that usually is under represented people color under represented in the pool then we move from there to the kinds of questions that prosecutors put before them and discharge them for duty because they know the case to my joy they have certain feelings about

heavy security as jury selection begins in the trial of the former policeman facing charges for his role in the deaths of georgia. hello i'm barbara starr you're watching al-jazeera live from london also coming out in myanmar protests continue against an increasingly brutal regime one senior official describes his dramatic escape fall when we 1st coup his corruption convictions have been overturned but the political future of brazil's former president now rests in the hands of the country's supreme court plus stripped of immunity from prosecution catalonians former president and 2 other ministers now facing possible extradition to speak. a day later than planned the court in the u.s. has begun the process of choosing a jury in the trial of the former police officer charged with killing george floyd but the process has already run into difficulties george floyd died in may last year after a white police officer derrick chauvin knelt on his leg for nearly 9 minutes floyd's death prompted mass public protests and calls for racial justice the court has set aside some 3 weeks to choose the ju

there's multiple black members of the jury. there's multiple white members of the jury. more women than men on that side. and we saw a lot of wrangling about that. because it's important who is actually on the jury, if race is going to be a factor. what is your thoughts, here we go, and my apologies before. this has the break down for viewers as well. obviously, they're anonymous. we're not saying who they are. but your view of the wrangling over who's on this jury and what if anything can be gleaned from it, paul. >> the jury has six peoples of color and people who identify as multi-racial. it also has seven people in their 20s and 30s. so the combination of people of color and younger folks makes it look like a good jury for the prosecution. because those are people who might be more skeptical of the police. and in this jury selection process, we saw that even white prospective jurors were impacted by the national reckoning on race. every person who's seated on this jury had heard about the case in advance. they had to assure the judge that they could put aside what th

so we want diversity on the jury.ay that attorney general keith ellison and his prosecutors demand that they have a diverse jury that reflects the population of the city. >> potential jurors are being given a questionnaire asking things like what coverage they've seen of the case, what experience they have with drug addiction, what podcasts they listen to, and whether they have martial arts training. some of those questions may seem strange, but how will the defense and the prosecution use questions like these to get a jury that works in their favor? >> well, don, it's what they taught us in trial practice back in law school. if you've got your jury, the facts don't matter. so it's going to be critical that you have a diverse jury because if you have a jury that don't believe george floyd was worthy of consideration, that don't believe george floyd's life matters, then we get those results that you and i have saw far too many times where there's philando castile or where there's trayvon martin or where there's alton s

derek chauvin finally facing a jury derek chauvin finally facing a jury of his peers.n for both sides in this case, what caused george floyd's death? the prosecution said it was derek chauvin kneeling on his neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds. fin kneeling on his neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds. on may five, 2020 _ minutes and 29 seconds. on may five, 2020 derek— minutes and 29 seconds. on may five, 2020 derek chauvin - five, 2020 derek chauvin betrayed his badge. when he used excessive force and unreasonable force upon the body of mr george floyd. that he put his knees upon us and inspire grinding and crushing him until the very breath, no, ladies and gentlemen, the very life are squeezed out of him. the defence argued the officers were facing an increasingly hostile crowd distracting them from mr floyd's. extra death was the result of drug use in poor health they said. the evidence _ poor health they said. the evidence will _ poor health they said. the evidence will show - poor health they said. the evidence will show that his death_ evidence will show that his

i don't want to move up too much the jury start time because. the process of getting here into the building is a little complicated so i'd prefer that we continue with the 9 o'clock plus we will go to 1230 each day in the morning and do the calculations between our argument on legal issues from 9 to 930 and then with a 20 minute break that allows for essentially 2 and a half blocks of time in the morning and in the afternoon i have is the i'll tell the jury that it will be going generally from 130 to 430 possibly 5 o'clock. if it's possible to keep or witness from having to come back the next day i would prefer to go later in the day then to have them come back the next day but we can talk about that and we can then have chambers conferences generally i'll be here by $830.00 at least played $45.00 if you just want to have a chambers conference about logistics nothing substantive on the record so i'll be here if you want to come back at that time during the daily schedule other than that since we have our jury waiting. we made stare today at 950

of them, a jury of 12 will be selected.r from the presint of the national association for the advancement of colored people. >> you have to be able to navigate what we call a dire and identified 12 members and identify any devices that could get in the way of jurors being objective. he really cannot read the minds or intent of any individual so you have to navigate the process very carefully. ros: ideally, jurors would not have any knowledge of the case so they can base their decision on only what they hear in court. instead, the prosecution and the defense are questioning each juror, and to try and help speed this up, each juror has already had to fill out a 16 page questionnaire. within the questionnaire questions like county times did you see the video of george floyd's death, did you participate in marches against police brutality, do you believe our criminal justice system work today, the court has seen further questions of the jurors. they can ask the judge to dismiss a juror because of attentional bias and this is a

up with an all white jury.'s not that difficult in light of the questionnaire that was presented. it's easier to disqualify people in favor of black lives matter than blue lives matter. the only shot you have is trying to rehabilitate people that the defense is going to want to strike. what i mean is, sometimes a jury says, you know what, i'm too biased to serve on this case and be fair and impartial. you have to get people who say that who are biassed in your favor to reverse themselves. that's the only way you have a shot at winning this trial. if you are the state. >> you mentioned the jury questionnaire. perspective jurors, they filled out a 16-page questionnaire with very specific questions. questions like, whether they have attended protests against police brutality, did they carry a sign at a protest, if they did, what did the sign say. what are defense lawyers for -- what are -- what are lawyers for chauvin looking for? how do they strategize around them? >> chauvin's lawyers will have a field day with

will this make a difference to the jury? it may well. but they will be in the box with the jury instructions and they know they can't go beyond what is on the page of those jury instructions as they make those decisions. >> one of the things the witnesses bring out, in addition to their own recollection, is recreating what we saw in the video, recreating what was happening on the street from their perspective. >> i think we got a visceral sense of how traumatic it was, not just for george floyd himself, but every one watching. i think this raises a big question for the defense whether they want to put derek chauvin on the stand to inject a different perspective on what happened that day. >> i will ask all of you to stand by. we will take a quick break as we wait for the trial to resume. wait for the trial to resume ug? sorry about that. umm... what...its...um... you alright?

you have 30% of this jury already chosen to sit.o get to know these jurors and prepare them for what needs to happen for them to have a likelihood of success. >> i was also surprised with the speed of this jury selection. it was quite striking. thank you very much for your expertise on this. thanks to shaq brewster there. it's almost a year since breonna taylor was shot and killed inside her apartment. we spoke with her mother. >> reporter: even the simple passage of time is unbearable for tamika palmer. >> i don't know the difference in the days anymore. >> reporter: it's been almost a year since her 26-year-old daughter was shot to death in her own apartment as louisville police officers served a no knock warrant. the only indictment, for shots that went into a neighbor's wall. the kentucky attorney general said the officers were justified in shooting because taylor's boyfriend, kenneth walker, fired first. walker said he thought it was a home invasion and the officers never announced themselves. none of the officers were charged

it humanizes the case for the jury. let's remember, the jury is human beings. we're not seeing them, but they are 12 human beings. they react to what they're seeing, witnesses who cover the range of ages, different professions, all telling fundamentally similar stories. i think the prosecution is bringing that story to life for the jury. thank you. hang with me. we're going to come back to this in a bit, as they're about to come back from the lunch break. >>> today president biden is launching the historic effort to overhaul the crumbling infrastructure. a senior officials tells cnn that the white house wants to be progress on roads, bridges, airports, even the internet, by memorial day. this white house is proposing to fund this $2 trillion package by reversing the tax cuts, a plan being strongly denounced as dangerously misguided, and cnn's white house correspondent is live there in pittsburgh, where the president is set to present this plan. obviously a huge proposal, bill. what's in it? >> reporter: it's a huge lift politically, but policywise, infrastructu

it would be up to the jury to decide. >> coming up -- >> we the jury -- >> a verdict from the jury, butafter. >> so i don't get a chance to explain it? >> you're not controlling this anymore. >> a prosecutor turned witness and a case turned upside down. >> they lie, they cheat and that's what they do. >> after everything that's come out, do you think they got the right guy? >> we absolutely think they have the right guy. >> when "dateline" continues. hee the right guy. >> when "dateline" continues ple, not actors, who've got their eczema under control. with less eczema, you can show more skin. so roll up those sleeves. and help heal your skin from within with dupixent. dupixent is the first treatment of its kind that continuously treats moderate-to-severe eczema, or atopic dermatitis, even between flare ups. >> we absolutely think they have c and not a creaor steroid. >> we absolutely think they have many people taking dupixent saw clear or almost clear skin, and, had significantly less itch. don't use if you're allergic to dupixent. serious allergic reactions can occur, including anaph

the prosecution wants to delay jury selection, the defense says they could go forward with jury selections -- even if the defense goes to appeal. but bottom line, hallie, this is, you know, some confusing legal maneuvering happening right now, but the bottom line is at this point jury selection was supposed to begin just within this hour and it is now being delayed. it's a question how long and depending on what the court of appeals says, whether this trial, you know, might be delayed for days, even weeks potentially. at this point, though, we are not that far along yet. bottom line jury selection in what is obviously a highly anticipated trial, you see the protesters behind me, jury selection at this point at the moment has been delayed. we hope to hear more from the court of appeals potentially throughout the day. the court is in recess at least for another hour while this back and forth happens, hallie. >> gabe gutierrez live for us in minneapolis, keep us posted. thank you. >>> after the break, escalating pressure for the new york governor to step down after two more women have come f

so we want diversity on the jury.ray that the attorney general and his prosecutors demand that they have a diverse jury that reflects the population of the city. >> potential jurors are being given a questionnaire asking things like what coverage they've seen of the case, what experience they have with drug addiction, what podcasts they listen to, if they have martial arts training. >> don, what they taught us in trial practice back in law school, if you got your jury, the facts don't matter. so it's going to be critical that you have a diverse jury. if you have a jury that don't believe george floyd was worthy of consideration, that don't believe george floyd's life matters, then we get those results that you and i have seen far too many times, with philando, or trayvon. so we have to have people show up for jury duty. and one of the hardest things for a black lawyer to do is go into a courtroom and the only other thing in the courtroom black is the judge's robe. so we need people to answer jury summons and serve on

members of the jury, the next witnesses are going to be persons [inaudible] just so you know what is going on beyond the court room, their video will not be shown. they will give their name for the record and that will be off the audio being broadcast outside of the court room. just so you know what the general public is seeing we will of course see and hear everything. i'm also allowing under the decorum that we operate under to refer to people by their first names as opposed to mr. or ms.. that is with court permission. they are not violating anything by doing so. with that, the state will bring in the next witness. there will be for in a row probably. we will not get to all of them before we go to break. probably one at most.

this was a jury meeting a jury here, i think. people watching and saying to the officers, this is not right, this has to stop. the prosecutor there made his point underscored his argument that he will be making, which is that you can believe your eyes, he said. it's murder. it's homicide. don't let this get too confusing. what you saw is exactly what it is. the second thing he said was that police called the police on police. that first witness being a 911 operator who said that she did something she had not done in the past, which was call her supervisor and call backup authorities because she was so disturbed by what she was watching. a defense team scrambling for a narrative. they argue that that first group of people who saw george floyd, who begged the officers to help george floyd to stop kneeling on his neck, that they distracted the officers and that their attention was diverted and that's why they did not care for george floyd in the same way. you see the prosecution scrambling for answers for why george floyd died. they

the jury is about to begin, it's very important numbers of the jury be able to hear and see everything take place during the trial. if you suffer from hearing weiss and would benefit from amplified sound, please raise your hand now and i want to make sure you get a hearing assistance device. if there is trial at any time, difficulty hearing or understanding what the witness is saying or witness blocks your view, raise your hand immediately so we can take care of the problem. you will hear the testimony of several witnesses. you have to make judgments on credibility and rate of their testimony. be patient and listen to the testimony of all witnesses. keep in mind, as you listen to the witnesses, take note of matters of the witness' interest or lack of interest is the ability and opportunity to remember and tell the facts from this experience likeness and sincerity, reasonableness or unreasonableness of the testimony in light of all other evidence and any other believability or credibility. the last announcement, align your own expense with judgment. you can give a notepad so you can tak

is this the jury, if you were going into this case as a prosecutor, is this the jury that you would have been happy with? >> well, i've never been a prosecutor in my life but that is a tough jury for a prosecutor. so a person prosecuting the case because the jury makeup that you see tends to be a little more liberal and defense oriented. in this situation here given the fact that the victim is black and the circumstances around the case would dictate that they may tend to see the case in the eyes of george floyd and tend to support george floyd. >> daryl parks, it has been so wonderful to talk to you this morning, albeit ahead of a trial everybody will be watching. thank you for being with us. >> my pleasure, have a good morning. >>> later this morning ali velshi will be live in minneapolis talking with members in the community about the racial injustice highlighted by george floyd's death. velshi, 8:46, the trial of derek chauvin continues at 8:00 a.m. >> then reverend al sharpton will be live at minneapolis and at 6:00 p.m. ari melber breaks down the strategies of the prosecution and d

so we're very concerned about ensuring that this jury in this jury selection process is not tainted byn. you're correct the defense attorneys here and prosecution, they have the opportunity to use peremptory challenges and other mechanisms to carefully curate the juries. but what they don't have the right to do is discriminate on the basis of race. that is something everyone is going to have their eyes trained on to make sure this is a fair process. this jury should reflect the pool of jurors in this area, in the minneapolis area, that you reflect the diversity of that area. it should reflect all of the demographics of the area, which we believe should yield a racially diverse jury pool, jury ultimately at the end of the selection. >> janai nelson, thank you so much for giving us the context of all of this. >>> and royal fallout, meghan markle and prince harry's explosive claims about the royal family, including racism. bucking house palace responds. that's next. is ext. is ♪look at what's happened to me.♪ ♪i can't believe it myself.♪ ♪suddenly i'm up on top of the world...♪ maybe it i

can you tell the jury what you see here? >> i see people standing there but that's not why i shift the camera. >> can you explain why you shifted the camera? >> because that's where it started from. >> where when you say that, i think your description initially is officers who were to use your words messing with mr. floyd. >> yep. >> okay. this is the area in which they were messing with mr. floyd? >> yep. when it started. >> i'd like to resume play again please. all right. let's pause for a moment. and you can see that -- that would have been your second recording has stopped and at that point we're continuing to watch the surveillance video. please resume. if we could freeze here. i'm going to go just a little further. stop. all right. so again, asking, i have already asked you about some of the people in the crowd and you said you didn't know them. i want to add some folks. there's a person in a white t-shirt. do you recognize that person? >> i don't know that person. >> never seen that young woman before? >> not before l

we're learning a little bit more about this jury.us throughout the duration of the trial but through the questioning when they're asked what do they feel about law enforcement? how do they feel about black lives matter, we get an opinion of their feeling coming into this but the key is they say they can set aside those opinions and be impartial members on the jury. alex? >> we're watching this closely with your help, shaq, thank you very much. >>> let's bring in georgetown will you professor and msnbc analyst paul butler, welcome. from what benjamin crump has said about this, is this an admission of guilt on the part of the city? how does this affect the outcome of the chauvin trial? >> so it's not an admission of guilt. there's a different standard, lower standard of proof in civil cases than criminal cases. chauvin's defense attorney will still be worried this civil settlement will make perspective jurors think chauvin is guilty. respective jurors are told not to look at any news pertaining to george floyd so the judge hopes that n

you can look at the jury all you want. you don't know what's going on in their head and you don't know what will go on in the jury room. that said, those three must remembers, 929. 9 minutes and 29 seconds. i anticipate the prosecution will come back to that again and again because that's the one fact, the one fact that's not in dispute. it is almost impossible to get one's mind around. how could you keep your knee on his neck that long? even if you could imagine that it was justifiable to do it until he was subdued. until he was compliant. until he passed out. until you couldn't find a pulse. yet it went on and on and on. at each of those junctures, past all of those junctures for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. if the defense can get around that, then they are really making progress in the case. i think that's the real obstacle for the defense and what's the prosecution will hit home on. >> i think you're right about that. it was clearly how they wanted to give a lens. in a sentence, which side is ahead at this point on day on

jury selection beginning in the trial of the former us a police officer derek chauvin over the death of george floyd just a chauffeur he was later sacked george floyd's next to last may while he was pinned to the ground and pleading that he couldn't brady is arrested violent unrest in cities across the united states the judge has set aside 3 weeks for jury selection reflecting the difficulty of finding impartial citizens to try such a sensitive case. downtown minneapolis has the flair of a ghost town these days city hall and other municipal county and state government buildings have been fortified the city spent several months planning and preparing for what is likely to be the highest profile trial in the history of minnesota razor wire brand new fancy and concrete barriers this is how many apple is try to secure the hennepin county government center this is where the derrick shelvin trial will start in just a few hours there will be national guard troops here police will be out in force here to secure the proceedings inside all around town there's a noticeable strain in the air bec

the police officers who arrested him in often the stressing recordings from their body cameras the jury witnessed floyd encounter the officers including their children who is on trial for his murder. of those who was the only. one r.c.t. . where. i don't know. the knockout. and then another scene had before chauvin to on his neck floyd pleaded with officers. another. person how do you argue that. we are not i don't want the we i want not we. i don't want the program. or the film of floyd being pinned on the show vince nina's final moments was too much for one witness no no no. but it was. the real. charles mcmillan was a passing motorist who stopped and tried to persuade floyd to give himself up to police he broke down in court when asked to relive the day's events saying that he had felt helpless. and the court also heard from christopher martin who was working in a food store and sold george for the packet of cigarettes he was paid with what he thought was a counterfeit note the incident which kicked off the chain of events leading to officers apprehending floyd. you saw you standing

jury selection has been begun in minneapolis. chauvin is facing, we'll remind you, second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in floyd's death. video of chauvin kneeling on floyd's neck for nearly eight minutes sparked protests around this country, around the world even. omar jimenez is in minneapolis. the city is taking precautions for more demonstrations today but we have news now about steps moving forward on jury selection. >> reporter: that's right jim and poppy. there is some debate in the beginning of this jury selection process as to whether they could move forward with jury selection until the matter of a third-degree murder charge being reinstated was settled. well judge peter cahill ruled that they can proceed with jury selection and that process won't be delayed as they try to figure out the appeals process for whether that third-degree murder charge will be reinstated f. you remember, derek chauvin is charged with second-degree unintentional murder and second-degree manslaughter, both of which he's pleaded not gui

requires that you have a jury of your peers and the jury has to be what's called dispassionate that doesn't mean that they can't know anything about the case nor does it mean that they have not formed any opinions what it does mean is that the jurors swear that they can set aside any opinions that they may have here and they can set aside any conclusions that they may have drawn and they can listen to the evidence. and evaluate the evidence as instructed by the judge so that's what those 14 juror said that they can do and we'll see well speaking of opinions this is also the trial that's being live streamed on the internet and i say today it ended a little earlier than planned because of technical difficulties how might the cameras here affect things going forward. well that's a great question so with respect to what's going on inside the courtroom every study available shows that after the 1st couple hours everyone forgets that the cameras are there so the lawyers are behaving for the cameras the witnesses tend to forget that they are there and people behave in the way that they wou

the prosecution, they are going to make the jury numb to it. this is going to battle down to a couple of issues, battle of the experts, medical experts. the key here is the defense only has to get a hung jury, a mistrial. the prosecution needs all 12. police policy is the use of a need outside a palouse policy. when i heard the prosecution, l.a. police expert, i shook my head and said, bad idea. you need to have minneapolis police department said, that was out. if they don't say that they are in trouble because it's going to be out of policy. the other thing is causation, all the medical evidence, whether it's a causation to the issue of the death of george floyd. it's going to be battle down to the law. i heard no evidence of any type of intent on the parts of the office or to george floyd. i think the prosecution overcharge is going to be a tough case, on those higher charges, but overall i thought the defense does a great job of showing the jury all the evidence, the prosecution, don't play that tape over and over again because you will numb

yeah i agree with some of the choices made by the jury they had their 1st gender neutral acting prize the silver bear for best performance and it went to the german actress. she was the star of this screwball comedy with a side by concept called i'm your man she plays in it she plays a german scientist who's a single and wary of relationships and she's assigned an android who's supposed to satisfy her every need to play by dan stevens of down abbey fame things of course don't go as planned and the 2 end up in couples therapy very funny movie a nice twist on sort of interesting concept and it was one of my favorites of the festival and another one i'd have to mention is a documentary called have and his classroom which won a special jury prize this is a look at a small village classroom in germany elementary school where the majority of students are migrants or from immigrant backgrounds it's a real fly on the wall documentary but i think really really touching very very emotional and wonderful look at these kids who we often talk about in germany but we almost never get to hear what t

the previous make of juries in hennepin county? yes. a big part of the concern is whether or not there will be any real diversity on the jury. of course, we have complicating factors such as covid-19 in terms of the impacts on the black community and other communities of color which may make it difficult for people to feel comfortable servingn a jury, especiallyor as long as the trial migh be. beyond that, the socioeconomic impacts of covid-19 have significantly impacted the black mmunity. additionally, the jury questionnaire had questions such as, how the potential jurors may feel about black lives matter, the defund the police movement, the blue lives matter movement -- all of those things are going to play a role in terms of whono are selected for the jury. juan: do you have any concerns about the possibility of the defense attorneys seeking to move the case somewhere else in minnesota? >> i absolutely have concerns about that. i grew up in los angeles in the era of the rodney king beating. i recall the impacts of the case being

>> no. >> can you tell the jury a bit about the types of jobs you held? >> i used to work at freeway. >> which speedway. >> chicago. >> what did you do at speedway? >> not a regular employee but an individual. >> not a lot have had experience, just tell the jury a little bit about your day-to-day job. >> i work cash register, if i have an issue, handle the issue. >> you also work as a check, do you have to trade other cashiers? >> sometimes. >> how long did you have that job? >> about the year. >> did you start as a shift lead? well, can you tell the jury about the types of hours you worked there as a full-time job? >> twenty hours a week. >> you did? okay, when did you typically start your shift? >> two or three to closing, 10:00. >> 10:00 is closing? is it a busy store? >> it has its moments. >> okay. i'd like to see if you recognize the area, first i'd like to show what's been marked for identification as exhibit one. [background noises] [silence] [silence] >> thank you. we are waiting for you now. i can show you, first i'm going to offer exhibit one.

what do you know about the outlook of this jury? >> will, i tell you, it represents the reflection of the community. a jury of peers, all diversity, ethnicity, and race. but i tell you, bret, this jury will follow the rule of law. that is the key part. it's not about ethnicity or color but whether or not the jury will follow instructions given by the judge and focus solely on what is presented in this case. i will assume that if the outcome is determined by this jury based on the facts in this case, we will get a fair and just verdict. >> bret: leo terrell in minneapolis, leo, we appreciate your time. >> thank you, bret. >> bret: there is now a ninth accuser and the sexual harassment scandal involving new york democratic andrew cuomo. nine. upstate new york said cuomo grabbed her face and kissed her cheek at her home during a visit to inspect local flood damage. meanwhile, the new york state attorney office subpoena dozens of officials and the cuomo administration for information about all of the accusations from all nine. also, ton

so the jury is seeing what you looked like and were wearing on may 25th, is that right?ou were talking about walking down it is sidewalk and getting closer did you get closer at that point. >> i got closer. >> so after you see the officers walk mr. floyd toward the cup foods and you're getting closer, what do you see then i see them -- >> i see them taking mr. floyd to the car >> they were taking mr. floyd to the squad car at that point? >> yes, ma'am. >> was he still handcuffed at that point >> yes, ma'am. >> was mr. floyd still walking with those officers? >> yes, ma'am. >> it was just those two officers at that point >> yes >> did you know either of those two officers >> no. >> and then did you continue to observe after they got to that squad car? >> yes, i did. >> what did you see then >> just standing there, getting him into the car, you know, and i was paying attention like i always was >> and was mr. floyd saying anything at that point in time >> yes, he was >> were you engaging in a conversation with mr. floyd as well >> yes, i was. >> tell the jury just a little

that's why it is important on the jury. jurors make decisions that are most effective when they identify with what's at issue in the trial. that need for personal safety is something that some of the jurors might identify with george floyd. the testimony was effective. also having young witnesses, children put things so well. i thought the nine-year-old who said the emts asked derek chauvin to get up nicely and he wouldn't, i would be making powerpoints with that on my slide if i was preparing for closing argument. there is so much of the trial left to go, you hope the jury keeping it front most in their minds. >> well, yesterday we saw the prosecution essentially lay out the skeleton for their face. today they added flesh to that skeleton showing how all of these individuals observed this. they found it to be unorthodox and unreasonable. many of them reached out to call the police we heard from genevieve, the off duty firefighter who believed there were more things the police officers could have done to assist mr. floyd du

. >> do you have any worries about this influencing the jury pool? >> no, they're such separate cases. it's going to work out, and hopefully that's a guilty verdict. >> ben is your associate, he said this settlement is just one step on the journey to justice. what does the floyd family want to see now? >> they want justice for everybody. the significance of this settlement, it changes the evaluation when a black person is killed. african-americans are undervalued in these cases, but now we see that equality matters. >> seven jurors have been selected, and a third degree murder charge has been reinstated. how do you feeling about this? >> adding the other charge is good. now the jury will have a lot of different options. we hope they go for the most severe. but now they have a lot of options. i have listened to the jury selections, i feel like they're being honest and intentional with their answers. and hopefully the attorney general and his team are just going to do a phenomenal job. we have faith in them. >> this is the second settlement involving a

how do you find an un—biased jury?e schoolgirl left for dead by the taliban, who went on to win a nobel prize, talks to bbc news about her multi—million pound television deal. taking her own life — and that there had been conversations within the royal family about how dark their son archie's skin might be. oprah winfrey said it wasn't the queen elizabeth or the duke of edinburgh who asked prince harry about the colour of his son's skin. so far, buckingham palace has not responded to any of the allegations — as our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell reports. whatever the palace expected, the reality was worse with meghan describing uncaring attitudes and a racist remark from a member of the royal family. it almost broke her. were you thinking of harming yourself, having suicidal thoughts? yes. this was very clear. very clear and very scary and i did not know who even to turn to. these are the thoughts that i'm having in the middle of the night that are very clear, and i'm scared because this is very real. it's not

ladies and gentlemen, of the jury, good morning.y name is jerry blackwell and i apologize for talking to you through this plexiglas, but it's part of the gets the pandemic has given. you are going to learn in this case a lot about what it means to be a public servant and to have the honor of wearing this badge. it's a small badge that carries with it a large responsibility and a large accountability to the public. what does it stand for? it represents the very model of the minneapolis police department, to protect with courage, to serve with compassion, but it also represents the essence of the minneapolis police department approach to the use of force against its citizens, when appropriate. the sanctity, a sanctity of life and the protection of the public shall be the cornerstones of the minneapolis police departments use of force. compassion, sanctity of life, cornerstones and that little badge is worn right whitee officers heart. but you're also going to learn that the officers taken oath when they become police officers. they ta
