In a third day of sometimes tense and emotional testimony, prosecutors continued to lay out their case Wednesday against Derek Chauvin, the fired Minneapolis officer charged in the death of George Floyd.
Chauvin, who was seen in a disturbing video kneeling on the neck of the unarmed Black man, is charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. He has pleaded not guilty. Court adjourned for the day after jurors watched body camera videos of the fatal encounter. Earlier Wednesday, a bystander witness broke down in tears on the stand as prosecutors played police body camera video showing officers attempting to force Floyd inside a squad car. Charles McMillian, who was on the sidewalk during the struggle, sobbed and said he felt "helpless." McMillian testified he yelled to Floyd that he "can't win" to encourage him to comply with officers.More Related News
