What to expect in week two of the Derek Chauvin trial

Prosecution calls Minneapolis chief of police to testify in murder trial of Chauvin in killing of George Floyd.

Powerful witness testimony and new videos highlighted week one of the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Among the 19 people who testified, 10 were witnesses who were at the scene, as well as Floyd’s girlfriend, two paramedics and firefighters who tried unsuccessfully to revive Floyd – and one of the most senior police officers in the Minneapolis police department who said Chauvin’s actions were “totally unnecessary”. It was a very strong week for the team of prosecutors, with testimony that left several witnesses to Floyd’s death in tears on the witness stand. As the trial was brought back into session on Monday morning, the prosecution continued to present its case against Chauvin. Judge Peter Cahill has not released a list of witnesses to be called each day, so journalists and onlookers only know once they are called.
