so sergeant jodi's take it from the los angeles police department steps down from the witness stand. after being examined and cross-examined as an expert on the use of force he simply said no force should be used once the person is handcuffed and prone on the ground about it that adding body weight would only increase the likelihood of death. the defense on cross-examination. tried to point to the fact that george ford was resisting arrest before he was on the ground. next witness on the stand. let's start with you giving your full name spelling each of your days james j m e s writers are in y. e r s o n there's a crime. and it's also your current occupation i'm currently a senior special agent with them in sort of bureau of criminal apprehension so just in general what does a senior special agent do what is your job you know so i'm currently assigned to the newly formed use of force investigation group we conduct criminal investigations into use of force incidents are you in a sense to peace officer yes or obviously you're not wearing what we typically think of as forms that. when y

or not they needed to hold down george floyd's the whole day ended with testimony by a los angeles police department expert in the. use of force his name is jody steiger he said i felt the force was excessive he went on to say that at the beginning they were trying to hobble george floyd that's where you essentially hog tie hands and feet and said in the end they did not do that and bat suggests that floyd wasn't that much of a threat to them and that they had made that assessment so all in all it was a day with victories for both sides but because it is the prosecution that has to prove its case now the defense has a couple openings to argue for reasonable doubt that derek yoven committed murder which is what he's accused of so what can we expect tomorrow and in the next year weeks. interestingly the day ended and our early with the l.a.p.d. officer jodi steiger midway through his chest of money the prosecution hadn't even physically finished questioning him and then of course there will be a cross-examination for the defense so that's how the day starts tomorrow with more expert testimony and inte

elliott, this expert with the los angeles police department, testified that chauvin used deadly force, and in his own words, no force should have been used once floyd was handcuffed and on the ground. how important was it to hear that from an outside expert? >> right, look, you know, the prosecution put on a lot of different witnesses, police witnesses. i've heard a 234u78 better of individuals who say, they might be overdoing it, hering going too far calling too many witnesses. the simple fact is the reasonable dowd standard in criminal trials, you hear these terms all the time. it's a very, very high bar to meet. particularly in a trial of a police officer, where the public is often predisposed against convicting a police officer, including outside witnesses. now, the defense attacked him, or the fact that he's paid, but that's not an uncommon strategy by defense attorneys to poke holes in the potential bias. yes, it was important for the prosecution to put him on. he game quite compelling testimony. >> captain johnson, throughout this trial, we keep hearing about what's called prop

so sergeant jodie's to get from the los angeles police department steps down from the witness stand. off to be examined and cross-examined as an expert on the use of force he simply said no force should be used once the person is handcuffed and prone on the ground about it that adding body weight would only increase the likelihood of death. the defense on cross-examination. tried to point to the fact that george ford was resisting arrest before he was on the ground. next witness on the stand. let's start with you giving your full name spelling each of your days james j m e.

this morning testimony from police trainer from the los angeles police department continued. the defense asked sergeant jodie steger about what's appropriate for police officers to do when using force. >> in most cases, officers are trained you can only go by what the suspect's actions are at the time. you can't say i thought he or she was going to do this and i'm going to use that force. it's based on actions. >> still a potentially key witness for the defense is up in the air. a passenger in floyd's suv. he invoked his 5th amendment to avoid questions about whether he provided floyd drugs. >>> now to a heartbreaking video that's amplifying the immigration crisis at the southern border. a 10-year-old boy sobbing, pleading for help. this is from a texas border patrol agent after he was abandoned by a larger group. this brings home the unrelenting influx of migrants crossing the southern border. nbc's people with disabilitieser alexander reports. >> reporter: disturbing new images this morningening of a 10-year-old boy alone and afraid when he was discovered by a border patrol

you had the case end with a prosecution witness from the los angeles police department who said the forceas excessive. the lapd is famous for the rodney king case, so when you have the lapd saying you are using excessive force, that is something they know a lot about. it is important to note that it is the prosecution that has to prove the case. the defense doesn't have to prove anything at all. >> the latest from minneapolis. thank you. sudan says ethiopia's unilateral moves over its mega-dam including filling it again violated international law. after talks between ethiopia, sudan and egypt, the countries failed to reach an agreement. ethiopia built the dam to produce electricity but neighbors feel it will impact their water supply. we have more from khartoum. >> sudan says with epo. -- what ethiopia is trying to do is impose reality on three countries. it says the rounds of talks have produced no breakthrough. they have been holding talks for three days. it was set to end on monday but resumed tuesday morning as the three sides entered closed meetings to try to iron out differences. th

point when we heard from sergeant jody starr here he is a sergeant with the l.a.p.d. a los angeles police department a watch for the inspector general's office essentially it's his job to investigate police wrongdoing he was employed by the prosecution is an outside witness he looked at many of the training documents he looked at all the video some witness statements as well in his view certainly that went over the line when it came to restraining george floyd he was under control he was in a position where he couldn't resist had stopped to resisting yet derek showing continued to press down on him with his full body weight there is an argument that is going on about whether or not derek children had his knee on his neck and we're talking about this because of course the medical examiner who examined george floyd's body said that there were neck compressions or whether he had his knee on his back but you're going to hear a lot about positional asphyxiation which is the idea that just the sheer border weight and the position that george floyd was in prone position on the ground face down he couldn't

expert testimony in you played one of the most exciting moments right there that was when los angeles police department sergeant jody steiger said that the use of force that derek shows and carried out on george floyd was unjustified and he also did something else that we didn't know before they showed us a freeze frame and it had children holding george floyd's hand in a way that the officer said represented and what i'm talking about the officer i'm talking about jodi steiger the expert testifying said that was that's a police hold designed to cause pain and the idea is that you release the pain you diminish the pain as that subject cooperates with you and he was asked well what happens if the subject is not resisting and he said well then it's just pain the implication from that is that in his eyes it seemed like children was simply causing pain to george floyd in 2 different ways one with his knee on the neck one by crimping his hand long after he was no longer resisting arrest at all and then you had a series of witnesses you had a special agent james ryerson of the bureau of criminal apprehension

with expert testimony you summarize some of it right there you did have jodi steiger that los angeles police department sergeant who said that there was excessive force and b. he said that at the same time as derek children was kneeling on the neck of george floyd he was also using what they called a pain compliance technique and that is they showed a close up of. crushing the fingers of george floyd as he was doing that the idea behind that as steiger said was to release the pain as the subject complies and he was asked what if the subject is not resisting and he said ben it's just pain we also had a bit of excitement when a prosecution witness named special agent james ryerson of the state of minnesota was saying that he was asked by the defense if he had heard george floyd say something they played it very hard to understand and the defense lawyer said did you understand george floyd to say there i ate too many drugs and said yes then the prosecution back that tape up again played it for me again and asked him if that's really what he heard and he said no now what i hear him saying is i ate doing no

and then you have the case ended with a prosecution witness from the los angeles police department named jody steiger he said the force was excessive the l.a.p.d. is famous for the rodney king beating case so when you have the l.a.p.d. saying you're using excessive force that's something they know an awful lot about but it's important to note that it is the prosecution that has to prove its case the defense doesn't have to prove anything at all. john hendren with the latest from minneapolis john thank you. so than says ethiopia's unilateral moves over its mega clipping filling it again where a violation of international law after 2 days of talks between ethiopia sudan and egypt the country's a failed to reach an agreement if you have built the renascence stand to produce electricity but its neighbors fear it will impact their water supply morgan has worn out from car too. sudan is thing that would if europe is trying to do is try to impose a reality on the 3 countries especially sudan and egypt it says that the rounds of talks have produced no breakthrough they've been holding talks for
