Derek Chauvin says he will not testify at trial as defense is set to rest
CNN
Derek Chauvin said Thursday he will not testify in his own defense in the trial of George Floyd's death and he invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent.
Chauvin, speaking into a microphone before the jury entered the court, said it was his decision and his decision alone not to testify. "I have advised you, and we have gone back and forth on the matter would be kind of an understatement, wouldn't it?" his attorney Eric Nelson asked.More Related News
