mr. chauvin? >> yes. eldridge. >> and played a video. >> and at some point you just step back a little bit out of the frame. fast-forward a little bit and during that time you are watching. >> so moving forward 821, 30. >> what do you want? >> i can't breathe. >> get up and get in the car. get up and get in the car. >> i can't move. >> it up and get in the car. >> you can't win. >> my stomach hurts. my neck hurts. >> please. >>. >> your knee is on his neck. >> i cannot breathe. >> you were resisting arrest. eldridge: somebody in the clip says your knee is on the neck. >> and before that about statements you cannot when and get in the car. again earlier we are trying to help with him what we trying to describe at that point? >> i was saying he can't win because once the police get the cuffs on you you can't win. so i'm trying to tell him just cooperate and get up and get in a car. go with them. you can win. eldridge: he said i can't? >> yes ma'am. eldridge: did you understand him to be talking to you? >> y

mr. chauvin a fair trial. mr. chauvin has a presumption of innocence, presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. we plan to prove to you beyond a reasonable doubt that he is anything other than innocent on may 205th 2020 and a second objective is to bring you that which i am trying to preview this morning. we are bringing the case as prosecution against mr. chauvin for the excessive force applied to the body of mr. george floyd for engaging in behavior that was imminently dangerous in the force that he applied without regard to the life of mr. george floyd. so, let's begin by focusing on what we've learned about this nine minutes and 29 seconds and you will begin to your mr. floyd saying please, i can't breathe, please. in this nine minutes and 29 seconds you will see as mr. floyd is handcuffed on the ground, 27 times you will hear and in the four minutes and 49 seconds i can't breathe, please, i can't breathe. you will see mr. chauvin is kneeling on his neck and back and has one knee on his neck and eminently yo

mr. chauvin five a mr. floyd, the by standards, the approach of the ambulance, paramedics, all did their part to encourage him to let up and get up under the umbrella of intent. now i will talk with you a second of the evidence of medical causation of what is happening to mr. floyd while he is they are on the ground. i would tell you that you can't believe your eyes. it's a homicide. it's murder. and here is what you would be able to see for yourself. you can see every part of what mr. floyd went through from his first crying out to move his shoulders to get his reading, get room to breathe, his voice get deeper and heavier, words farther apart, respiration more shallow. he goes unconscious. and you can see the uncontrollable shaking he is doing when he's not breathing anymore. and knox six seizures from oxygen deprivation. you can see the involuntary gasping of the body when the heart has stopped from oxygen deficiency. and also the loss of polls. you will hear from a number of experts on the stand that pu

mr. chauvin? >> i can't recall, but in my mind i said to mr. and i think it was like five days ago, not quite sure, but i think i said to him five days ago i told you the other day that the -- [indiscernible] look at you as a magnet. -- maggot. >> did he move his car at some point? >> either in that clip or another clip. >> did you have another conversation? >> think so. >> did you remark about his foot on his neck? >> i can't recall. >> it would be in the video? >> yes ma'am. >> can we put up exhibit 41? [video clip] >> be advised, fire department s to go to 36 and park. >> that is one person's opinion. we've got to control this guy because he is a sizable guy. >> i told him to get in the car. [indiscernible] >> i got nothing to say -- you go home safe to your family. >> ok, so there is a voice that is heard, two voices. which voice is yours? >> the one who told him i'm going to respect him and go to your family safe. >> whose voices the others? >> mr. chauvin 3 -- mr. chauvin. >> when voice is saying, i don't respect what you did, or somethin

mr. chauvin was doing with his sub dual and restraint and that compression. that's a story ladies and gentlemen and defies common sense. i will show you what i mean. >> [inaudible conversations] >> treat each day mr. floyd lived in made dots on the page and over his lifetime you will see here ten or 20 or 40 years through may 25, 2020, that means mr. floyd would have lived up to that day 70026 days. only one of these dots corresponds to may 25th all the rest of these days and dots represent days mr. floyd was living and breathing. he had a being. living and breathing had a being with every disorder mr. nelson chronicled. every day. with the struggles of opioid addiction, high blood pressure, every single day except the one day. may 25. that tiny little speck of the.and not even that whole day because as we know there was a nine minutes and 29 seconds he did not survive. in one days time 144 of those ten minute sections and only one of them was the reason mr. floyd failed to survive and what happened in that space? you know what happened. that is when there was

mr. chauvin. he didn't argue that they could infer that. he argued that they thought that. placing that in context puts us in a difficult position. we can't comment on his failure to testify. but that statement is directly at odds with the evidence and the record. >> response? >> read the quote, steve? >> that mr. chauvin thought he was following his training. >> what was the context? in your use of force discussion, you talked about his training. you indicated that mr. chauvin thought he was following his training. >> i don't recall saying it, your honor. >> even if he did, it was drowned out by a reasonable officer. i think it's a reasonable inference to draw from the evidence that exists. even a statement to mr. mcmillan essentially was an indirect way of saying he was following his training. it's a reasonable inference for council to argue to respond to that by saying there's no evidence would in fact be commenting on his right to remain silent. so the bind the state is always in. but as far a

mr. chauvin actions played any role in the death of mr. floyd during this of dual and restraint and compression on the ground. >> objection. >> sustained. blackwell: can you tell us whether it is your view that mr. floyd passed after nine minutes and 29 seconds was a coincidental unrelated to subdural restraint on the ground? >> objection. >> sustains. blackwell: over the questions. >> thank you doctor. you are excused.

mr. chauvin, ye your mask off. mr. chauvin come you're aware that during the course of these proceedings the state has filed what's called the blakely notice or a notice to seek an aggravated since, greg? >> yes. >> i have explained to you the bases on which the state is seeking to have an aggravated sentence post on you in the event of a conviction on anyone of the counts here, correct? >> correct. >> if you are convicted we can waive their right to attract and allow the judge to make those determinations. i've advise you about that? >> yes. >> now, do you want a a jury o make a decision about the proof required, or aggravated factors if there's a conviction or are you willing to wager right to trial on those matters and allow judge cahill to make the cessation? >> i willing to waive it and have judge cahill decide those issues. >> mr. chauvin again i'm going to address your individual because this is another one of the decisions you have to make for yourself. this is a wave of your jury trial right when it comes to ag

mr. chauvin. we know it was deadly force because we heard from officer zimmerman on the stand who told us it was deadly force. he said it's deadly force because it's force capable of killing a person which makes it deadly force. now, deadly force, ladies and gentlemen, once you see what mr. floyd was subjected to with this deadly force in the prone position, there are certain consequences or risks that come with the prone position and the use of this kind of deadly force and that primary risk is it affects your breathing. you heard that from witness after witness after witness. it affects your breathing. it makes it harder to breathe. you put the subject into the prone recovery position as soon as possible because you don't want to affect their breathing of low oxygen. do you have evidence of low oxygen here? there's evidence of low oxygen, ladies and gentlemen, that's medical unassailable medically. take, for example, the fact that mr. floyd had an anoxic seizure, that is he's already unconscious,

mr. chauvin and mr. keung and mr. lane with a rundown of what happened it is lane and keung speaking and mr. chauvin stands are not making many corrections or additions. so obviously again, a hearsay problem. and that is aware of any hearsay exceptions that would allow those statements by the non- testify as to come in. also to the extent your honor it is admitted, we word argue the adopted admission we want to be clear about that on the record there is the obvious hearsay problem there. it is essentially seeing this in the service as a judge it simply trying to get in self-serving hearsay a defense without having to testify. that is very clearly what is beingot attempted all you cannot do that through hearsay. so we think that is relevant as well. and prohibited by the hearsay rule. >> onle the 2045 video, that discussion is primarily about what happened with mr. floyd, the use of force, is that correct? >> correct. >> is there anything beyond that in the 2045 or mr. nelson'sny or anything beyond the discussion of wh

mr. chauvin with a brief rundown of what happened. this is lane and kueng speaking and mr. chauvin standing there not making any corrections or additions. and so obviously again a very real hearsay problem, and not aware of any hearsay exceptions that would allow those statements by the non-testifies to come in. also to the extent, your honor, that it is admitted we would argue that it's an adopted omission so we want to be clear about that on the record but there is an obvious hearsay problem there. it's essentially this court has seen this and its service as a judge that it is simply trying to get in self-serving hearsay, a defense without having to testify. it's very clearly what is being tempted here and what's not permitted is to do that through hearsay. so we think that is irrelevant as well. and prohibited by the hearsay rule. >> let me ask you, on the 2045 video, that discussion is primarily about what happened with mr. floyd, the use of force, is that correct? >> correct. >> is there anything beyond that really in that 2045 -- or mr. nelson, is there anything on the

mr. chauvin took the train? >> yes, your honor. >> mr. nelson? >> your honor, that was my understanding of the testimony, was limited to the crisis intervention program and training that that officers go through. it is within the policy that part of the de-escalation policies and things -- so what it would also include would be what officer are specifically trained to do to identify the difference between someone who was willfully resisting or intentionally resisting arrest versus someone who's have an emotional -- >> so it's unclear, there will not be any video show and sergeant yang opining on whether this person was emotionally distressed? >> that's correct. >> if it simply a summary of the training provided and mr. chauvin his personnel records show he took the training, that's fine. anything go that including videos or opinions we will not allow. >> i just want, i think this touches on something that was technically reserved during motions in limine a come was an issue of which training materials would be admitted because ms. blackwell, insp

mr chauvin should be found not— and therefore mr chauvin should be found not guilty— and therefore mrd be found not guilty on _ and therefore mr chauvin should be found not guilty on all— and therefore mr chauvin should be found not guilty on all counts. - over this three—week trial, which seen the emotional friends and eyewitnesses, the testimony of medical first responders... in lay terms, i thought he was dead. ..the rare sight of a police chief publicly condemning the actions of one of his officers. it is not part of our training and it is certainly not part of our ethics or our values. ..and the dramatic moment when derek chauvin decided not to testify. i will invoke my fifth amendment privilege today. this has become a familiar american streetscape — shops boarded up and ready for a storm of protest. but tonight, a pause for prayer for the family of george floyd, their testament of hope that justice will be served. nick bryant, bbc news, minneapolis. larry madowo is in minneapolis. just looking back over the last three weeks, larry, ten days for the prosecution, just two days fo

mr. chauvin's demeanor and actions immediately following mr. floyd being removed to the hospital, i think that is relevant for the jury to see his demeanor and what actions he took "after words". the remainder of the 2034 video will be put in, on the contrary the 2034 video will not be allowed because it is hearsay and i reviewed in its entirety and it does appear it's primarily officers lane and king giving their side of the story so to speak it is not followed to any of the 804 exceptions for unavailable witness to allow the hearsay and i do not find it was an adoptive omission by the defendant, he is there but her presence at hearsay statement does not constitute an abduction of what is being said. accordingly, 2035 video will not be allowed. >> will those be allowed. >> what remains after the conversation specifically, why don't you go over here so we can go over that. >> again specifically after the commentary there is additional conversation amongst officers who's going where and what's happening, who's going to the hospital. >> any objec

mr. chauvin was assaulting mr. floyd. the other charge, third-degree murder, that murder charge, death that occurs when someone is acting extremely dangerous and without regard to human life and second-degree manslaughter is the third charge derek chauvin is facing, death by quote culpable negligence in which the perpetrator knowingly risks causing death or serious harm. those are the three charges facing derek chauvin, courtesy of the "new york times" wrapping at what those charges are. the jury now in its second day of deliberations after handing, the trial was handed to them late yesterday. we're taking your calls this morning. keith is in fargo, north dakota, the life of those who say guilty. good morning. >> caller: yeah. my nephew when he was young, like i don't know six or seven, whatever, and his karate instructor choked, showed on another guy there is a pressure point on your neck. and the person he put the pressure on the neck and the person passed out. now, if you're holding it too long, to me, the pressure on t

mr. derek chauvin right knee. >> i believe i did yes. >> and when mr. derek chauvin stood up, mr. george floyd arm sort of came up, right. >> may i again please pretty. >> sure. >> just hit back ten seconds and then start printed. [inaudible]. [inaudible]. >> it is hard. let's try one more time. [inaudible]. [inaudible]. >> can you see that predict. >> what was the question predict. >> do you observe mr. george floyd right knee i'm sorry, derek chauvin writing compressing mr. george floyd left arm pretty. >> so from what i see that mr. derek chauvin shin as he was actually on his back pretty. >> that is what you believe you see. okay. but nevertheless, mr. george floyd left arm in the tri-state area, was in between mr. derek chauvin either me or shed, right. >> yes. >> did you review and study the body worn cameras closely yourself. >> i reviewed them closely, yes. >> and if you to understand and hear what various parties were saying at various times. >> yes. >> did you ever hear mr. george floyd say that i ate too any drugs. >> no. [inaudible]. [inaudible]. >> i would like to pub

mr. chauvin moved his knee mr. floyd neck after mr. floyd was unconscious? >> no, the movement happens around a different time, obviously the key thing is everything up to the time we see the brain injury occurring, where officer chauvin moved his knee after that really is not going to have impact. >> would you help the jury understand that if mr. chauvin is applying pressure on the side of the neck and as we see exhibit 943, how does it translate to narrowing of the hypopharynx? >> it's going to depend on what is the orientation of officer chauvin body, what is the orientation of his leg and in particular, the orientation of mr. floyd, where exactly is the orientation of mr. floyd had because of the ligaments under officer chauvin's knee, there's going to be compression of the hypo bearings that if it moves to the side and officer chauvin's weight coming down on the side of mr. floyd neck and you get huge compression of the hypopharynx. >> looking at exhibit 943 and focusing on the first five minutes, was his knee overarching of the side or back. >> for the

mr. chauvin was on mr. floyd's back and neck, from time to time he was pressing down forcefully with his me also on the left arm. you saw his knee on the left arm from time to time didn't you? >> yes, i did. >> i want to ask you in that framework about another quote from fisher, exhibit 814 for identification purposes on page 833. >> what page? >> 833. >> contrary to the belief of some, it is our opinion pinning down the shoulders or forcefully pushing the arms is equivalent to loading the back. an agitated individual breathes faster, has a faster heartbeat, elevated blood pressure and high metabolism. such individual requires more air and more oxygen. immobilization of the chest even if only partially reducing the ability to maintain vital functions can cause cardiac arrhythmia. do you agree with the statement? >> no specifically i do not. they said it is their opinion. again this is a to medical opinions expressed by those authors and not a scientific fact. >> thank you. doctor fowler, do you agree that w

mr. chauvin who's on top of mr. floyd, you can see here mr. chauvin's knee on the back part of the neck. can you see that, sir? >> yes. >> and then on the right picture, you can see that his knee is on the side of the neck, on the soft side, can you see that also? >> yes. on the back of the right side of the neck. >> yes, sir. >> thank you. . i think you referred to mr. floyd's death as a sudden death event. is that the word you used? >> yes. more sudden than prolonged. >> if you focus on the first five minutes that mr. floyd is restrained on the ground, you were able to see in that five minutes, first saw mr. floyd just struggling to breathe, right? >> i'm going to object to the characterization. >> i'll rephrase it, your honor. >> you can see in the first five minutes -- or hear mr. floyd was first calling out that he can't breathe. >> correct. mr. floyd verbalized, i can't breathe, multiple times. >> and you then later hurt him actually call out for his mother? >> yes. >> and as time passed in that first five minutes, you could hear that his

mr. chauvin's knee is on mr. floyd's neck? >> yes. more on the base of the neck. >> from officer king's body-worn camera, it appears it was more at the base of the neck in between the shoulder blades, right tphao yes. >> in fact, as you review some of the videos where mr. floyd was on -- in the prone position, there are points in time at which mr. floyd picks up his head and moves it, agreed? >> he attempted to early on, yes. he was saying he couldn't breathe, so i assumed he was attempting to try and breathe better. >> but he was able to lift up his head at some points? >> correct. slightly, yes. >> i have no further questions, your honor. >> redirect? >> thank you, your honor. sir, to clarify a little bit -- thank you. to clarify a little bit on the known risks that you testified to with respect to positional affixa. >> yes. >> is the pressure related to the pressure on the neck or body? >> any additional pressure on the body complicates breathing more so than if there was no pressure at all. >> so the placement of the knees, even i

mr. chauvin's knee is on mr. floyd's neck? >> yes. >> or at the base of the neck. >> and from officer king's body worn camera, it appears that it was more at the base of the neck in between the shoulder blades, correct? >> yes. >> and in fact, as you review some of the videos while mr. floyd was on -- in the prone position, there are points in time at which mr. floyd picks up his head and moves it. >> he attempted to early on, yes. he was saying he couldn't breathe so i assume he was attempting to try to breathe better. >> but he was able to lift up his head at some point and turn it slightly. >> yes, he attempted to. >> i have no further questions, your honor. >> redirect? >> thank you, your honor. sir, to clarify a little bit -- to clarify a little bit on the risk you testified to as far as positional asphyxia, is the risk related to the pressure on the neck or pressure on the body? >> pressure on the body. any additional pressure on the body complicates breathing more so than if there was no pressure at all. >> so the place

mr. chauvin had his knee on mr. floyd's neck. >> tim alexander, talk about this. i want to play a little bit more about this, about steve schleicher trying to make it clear to the jury that this was about derek chauvin and not about the minneapolis police department. of course, we saw everyone from the chief on down. let's watch that. >> this is not a prosecution of the police. it is a prosecution of the defendant, and there's nothing worse for good police than a bad police who doesn't follow the rules, who doesn't follow procedure, who doesn't follow training, who ignores the policies of the department, the motto of the department to protect with courage, to serve with compassion. the defendant is on trial not for being a police officer. that's not the state versus the police. he's not on trial for who he was. he's on trial for what he did. that is what he did. that is what he did on that day. 9:29. that is what he did. >> tim, you've been a police officer, you're a prosecutor and a civil rights lawyer. you know what he's trying to say here is that this is not abo

mr. chauvin's right knee is on mr. floyd's back just before he gets up? >> yes. >> in that, did you notice whether mr. floyd's shirt moved? >> yes, it moved. >> from what? >> from mr. chauvin's knee. >> you were asked to describe this as an unusual case because the investigation kept going on while there was a court process. >> yes. >> is it the typical process, then, when you investigate a case to hand it over and then be done with it and never work on it again? >> no. >> when you turn over an investigation, is it common to continue working on that investigation throughout the court process? >> yoe. >> have you ever in your career conducted investigations said to a charging authority, sorry, my work's done on the case, i'm not going to work on this any further? >> no. >> in fact, some of the ongoing investigation that you did was essentially at the request of the defense attorneys? >> that is correct. >> and i'm referring, just to be clear, i don't want to misrepresent anything, but based on defense attorney saying that vehicle? >> correct. >> what mr. n

mr. chauvin. you made a mark with the arrow pointing to mr. chauvin how did you know him?> five days prior to this happening i pulled up on a squad car and a some mr. chauvin i told him at the end of the day the person to go home is safe. eldridge: you met him in the community a few days prior? >> i saw him in the community prior to that day. eldridge: you saw him five days prior and had a conversation with him that you had known him in the community before that as well? >> i have seen him in the community. eldridge: i will try to slow down. eldridge: we will let the video play. >> don't try to win. be on the ground. you know it. get in the car. >> and claustrophobic. i'm claustrophobic. >> know you're not getting in the car. >> get in the car. >> get in the car. >> i'm not going to die. please please. please. please. i can't. i can't breathe. i can't breathe. please. >> get in the car. >> you can have a heart attack. >> get in the car. >> i can't do it. please. please. >> you are under arrest right no for forgery. i can't breeze. >> come on out. >> on the ground. >> i can

mr. chauvin's right knee is on mr. floyd's back, just before he gets up? >> yes. >> in that, did you notice whether mr. floyd's shirt moved? >> yes, it appeared to move. >> from what? >> from mr. chauvin's knee. >> you were asked to describe this as an unusual case because the investigation kept going on while there was a court process. >> yes. >> is it the typical process then when you investigate a case to hand it over and then be done with it and never work on it again? >> no. >> when you turn over investigation, is it common to continue working on that investigation throughout the court process? >> yes. >> have you ever, in your career, conducted investigations sent to a charging authority, sorry, my work is done on the case, i'm not going to work on this any further? >> no. >> in fact, some of the ongoing investigation you did was at the request that the defense raised. >> that's correct. >> i'm referring, to be clear -- i don't want to misrepresent anything. but based on the defense attorney seeing that pill in the vehicle? >> correct. >> and what mr

mr. chauvin at this point. per his training these techniques are at his disposal. a reasonable police officer would be making these officers it on - - observations he would observe the foam around mr. floyd's mouth. he would consider the possibility this person was under the influence of something. basically using the information from dispatch, making these observations. how would a reasonable officer analyze and what would be known to a reasonable officer? a reasonable officer would look at the size of the person and assess that person's size in relation to his own size. that is part of the risk threat analysis that we have heard about so much. a reasonable officer would know these are two rookies putting the man in the car. in fact the evidence establishes mr. chauvin trained one of the officers. reasonable officer may step back to see if they can get this under control. a reasonable officer will hear the words suspect is saying. i'm a good guy. i'm a good guy. i am cost of phobic. no compare the words to the actions of the individual. this is part of the analysis
