chauvin about whether or not chauvin wanted the judge to instruct the jury, which he will do presumably on monday, before they deliberate, that he has an absolute right not to testify. the first thing was whether or not you want to testify. the second thing was whether you want me to tell the jury that you have a right not to testify. why does that matter? that's a complicated calculus for a defendant. on one hand, by instructing the jury that a defendant does not have to testify, the judge is reminding the jury that the defendant didn't testify. of course, they shouldn't infer anything from that. that's something else the judge will tell them. don't infer anything from it. what happens, jeff, when i tell you, don't think at all about what a beautiful day it is outside. what do you start doing? you start thinking about what a beautiful day it is outside. in this case, judge cahill asked former officer chauvin, i can either give this instruction to the jury, telling them you don't have to testify, or not. it's your call. you pick. in this case, chauvin said he wanted the jury to be instr

the conviction of derek chauvin is just a step. it's a step forward that has to be appreciated, and it should be also a call on us, a recognition that the entire system of policing is rotten to the core. and so we have to be willing enough, be courageous enough to engage in the ongoing work to transform the system of public safety, to invest deeply in community-driven solutions, and, yes, defund the police, who continue to steal the lives of our people, most recently with the murder of 15-year-old ma'khia bryant in columbus, ohio. we have to do work in george floyd's name. >> so that's the work you want from the people. let's hear from the politicians. control room, let's play vice president kamala harris on her comments about confronting racial injustice. >> here's the truth about racial injustice. it is not just a black america problem or a people of color problem. it is a problem for every american. it is keeping us from fulfilling the promise of liberty and justice for all. >> and what do you want to hear from the white house?

that floyd was not just in chauvin's custody. he was in chauvin's care. and chauvin failed to render aid. the other thing that occurred on his cross-examination was this idea of this fugazi, you know, cause being the exhaust or the excess carbon monoxide, which, simply, was disingenuous. you know, there was no evidence, whatsoever, that there was excess-carbon monoxide in the area or in floyd's body. and so the idea that an expert who was supposed to be the smartest man in the room and to be able to back up his testimony with data but he had none was frankly embarrassing for the defense. but like jill said, you know, the defense had to put on a case and try to refute the causation. and try to refute the idea that the use of force was excessive. >> yeah. >> but it really was an epic fail. >> i think i heard you say that dr. fowler had no credibility partly because he had covered up for an officer in the past? can you clarify that? what did he do? >> really, all i know is that there were allegations that there was another police brutality case in which he w

chauvin ever arrived, the drug ingestion, right? the bad heart, the diseased heart, the hypertension. all of these things existed before mr. chauvin arrived. the struggle, what role did the struggle play? we know based on a prior incident that mr. floyd's heart was beating at 219/160 in a situation where he was confronted by police and had ingested drugs. he didn't die that day. all of this, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, all of this when you take into consideration the presumption of innocence, the presumption of innocence and proof beyond a reasonable doubt. i would submit to you that it is nonsense to suggest that none of these other factors have any -- any role? that is not reasonable, and when you as members of the jury conclude your analysis of the evidence, when you reviewed the entirety of the evidence, when you review the law as written and you conclude it all within this -- all within a thorough honest analysis, the state has failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and, therefore, mr. chauvin should be found

bakari, derek chauvin is facing sentencing in about eight weeks or so. what does the judge take into consideration here especially since the sentence for each of these three charges is served concurrently, not necessarily back to back. >> well, first, thank you, wolf, for bringing that point up. i think a lot of americans will learn the different in sentencing between concurrently and consecutively. there are a lot of people hoping and wishing that there is a sentence that they believe matches the crime which is an extension you have long sentence where people spend the rest of their lives in prison. that's not going to happen in this case. in fact, this judge will be governed by the sentencing guidelines, the citizen guidelines take into account what people have done prior to their arrest. their criminal history which is hugely important, the nature of the crime, the facts and circumstances, et cetera, and so i think when you look at the guidelines. the judge can go above the guidelines or below the guidelines but i do think that most of the individuals

chauvin and members of the jury. i want to take this opportunity first to thank each and every one of you for your service, your diligence and attention to this matter. we all recognize the disruption jury service places on your personal and professional life especially in the case of this magnitude and direction so on behalf of mr. chauvin i want to thank each and every one of you for your attention and service to this jury. i will apologize if i get a little long-winded because i get one by at the apple. the state has an opportunity to rebut my statement after this but there is so very much we need to cover so much we need to talk about and it is all-important. before i begin of my review and the evidence of this case. i would like to address to crucial points that were touched on by the state. the presumption of innocence and proof beyond a reasonable doubt. the presumption of innocence, the defendant is presumed innocent. that's the starting point he is presumed innocent and this presumption remains with him thro

chauvin was present in that scene? >> yes. >> and he was listening as officer keung and lane told you what had just happened. >> yes. >> now, when -- in your experience as a police officer, when a supervisor's use of force -- well, strike that. when an -- when one group of officers goes to a scene and a second shows up to assist, whose arrest is that? is it the original officer or the assisting officers? >> should be the original officer. >> and so, when you're reviewing a circumstance, is it going to be -- would it be your policy to talk to the arresting officers or the assisting officers? first. to find out what happened. >> i guess i might care one way or the other, whoever wants to tell me the story. >> and if one officer's responsible for it, you're going to go to that officer, right? >> right. >> and if two officers, you're going to ask them both? >> correct. >> and if all of the officers are standing around and they're talking about it, that's what you need to do initially, right? >> correct. >> now, you were di

derek chauvin was found guilty on all 3 charges against him. second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder also manslaughter people who gathered at the very spot where floyd was killed cheered when they heard the verdict for more on reaction in minneapolis. we head there live to reporter eric wrong. eric. >> well, good evening. it has been a long tense couple of days here in minneapolis as this case has come to a close. it is safe to say people here are breathing a little easier tonight. >> data, minnesota plaintive versus derek michael chauvin defendant inside the courtroom, find the defendant guilty outside the courthouse. >> the cheering got louder each time the crowd heard the judge say the word guilty today. >> the >> not long after the verdict was read, the party began and spread to the streets of minneapolis some in disbelief of the verdict. do you really think it was going to happen. >> i had no faith in it. i had no faith. just look at that. i think that's why so many people are excited because we didn't we. the justice syste

this is officer chauvin's foot off the ground. and he described how, at this precise moment, officer chauvin was applying 91.5 pounds of pressure to the neck of mr. floyd. so, let's look at this time, in the context of the other evidence. >> he ain't doing nothing. put him in your car! >> how long y'all got to hold him down? >> it ain't about drugs, bro. >> did anybody even see the toe come up off the ground? i mean, was it half-a-second? a quarter-of-a-second? but when you take a single incident, a frame, a single frame, and you add the drama. and you make all of the assumptions, right? officer chauvin's body weight. mr. floyd's eelv. he's the only person calculated the eelv, based upon the presumptions of health, based upon studies, based upon theory. all of this information. you can -- you can put this into a single frame. but, you have to analyze the evidence in the broader context. you can, also, see, during the clip, that officer chauvin actually re -- is sort of adjusted forward. and touches this car. right? you can make a

holding derek chauvin accountable. there were serve law enforcement officers that testified, five, including the chief as you pointed out. and remind me, when i was starting off in my career having to tell the events that happened to me and every single time i told that story to the hiring authority and the officers and the command staff, well what happened to those guys? were they arrested? were they charged? they wanted to know just like today that law enforcement, the vast majority as i point out many, many times are good, honorable men and women. it's people like derek chauvin that have to be rooted out and in the face of fear you have to do the job. that same courage is required of the same officers when they see another fellow officer doing wrong that they must have that courage and conviction to report it and to take action to prevent it if necessary. >> let me play another clip of this for you, tim especially given your experience. this is when steve schleicher is trying to say, why did he have to shove him int

chauvin said no thanks. i'll have the judge decide those factors. >> what do you think the judge is likely to come up even with the aggravating factors? >> i got to tell you, john, in my experience, any time i do murder charges the judge goes to the top. now this is a state system. this is different. the argument is he took a man's life, 40 years is the appropriate factor. >> very interesting. thanks for helping us understand. >>> joining us now cnn legal analyst joey jackson and paul callen. this case, joey, there's something different about it, many things that are different about it and even the 9-year-old who was a witness to what happened knows that the video is the biggest thing, how key was that? >> brianna this is a compelling moment in history. good morning to you. the bottom line here is you have a video capturing exactly what happened here, it was very difficult i think to watch the video for everyone waking up a year ago looking at this -- almost a year ago, how inhumane is this? is this even rea

of force by officer chauvin. this afternoon we heard from the special agency who investigated chauvin's actions and as the person who handled much of the evidence in the case, james reyerson confirmed exactly how long officers stayed on george floyd and how long chauvin's knee was on george floyd's desk. and weland to an expert witness hiredly the prosecution. he testified that the amount of force devin chauvin used against floyd was, in his pin his opinion, was excessive, but also said some of the his actions were reasonable as omar jimenez records. >> sergeant, just a reminder, you are stilled under oath. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: today's testimony, more cops taking the stand. >> in your opinion, does the defendant's used force need to be reasonable during the entire tame tao time pared? >> sergeant jody steiger, who defend that the force derek chauvin used was -- >> he was not attempting to assault the officers, kick, punch or anything of that nature. >> reporter: but chauvin's attorney during cross-examinatio

what chauvin did exacerbated it. i'm proud of the chief for not buying into the nonsensical arguments of the defense. >> you anticipated my question and answered it. eric garner case played out differently, defense were able to portray him still thrashing and struggling and make it somehow magically make him into a threat. in this case there's been testimony this man was probably already dead. cannot be a threat if he's dead. wonder if you think the defense is getting anywhere with the arguments, including trying to undercut the experience of the chief and officer zimmerman, lieutenant zimmerman. >> the defense is not doing a good job poking holes in the prosecution's strong case. chief testified that chauvin should never have put his knee on floyd's neck because that's deadly force, which chauvin was never entitled to use because floyd never threaten ed anybody's life. in any event laying stomach down in handcuffs saying 22 times he can't breathe, chief testified that force should have stopped immediately. this test

that floyd was not just in chauvin's custody. he was in chauvin's care. and chauvin failed to render aid. the other thing that occurred on his cross-examination was this idea of this fugazi, you know, cause being the exhaust or the excess-carbon monoxide, which, simply, was disingenuous. you know, there was no evidence, whatsoever, that there was excess-carbon monoxide in the area or in floyd's body. and so, the idea that an expert, who was supposed to be the smartest man in the room and to be able to back up his testimony with data but he had none was, frankly, embarrassing for the defense. but like jill said, you know, the defense had to put on a case and try to refute the causation. and try to refute the idea that the use of force was excessive. >> yeah. >> but it really was an epic fail. >> i think i heard you say that dr. fowler had no credibility, partly, because he had covered up for an officer in the past? can you clarify that? what did he do? >> the -- the -- the -- really, all i know is that there were allegations that there was another police-b

that's very powerful testimony against derek chauvin. >> reporter: chauvin is charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, accused of killing 46-year-old floyd during the police stop. from chauvin's own body camera, you can hear his voice. >> trying to control this guy because he is a sizable guy. >> get in the car. >> he is probably on something. >> reporter: chauvin's defense attorney showing chief air dando questioning if he was his knee was on floyd's neck the entire time. >> would you expect from the body camera that mr. chauvin's knee was more on mr. floyd's shoulder blade? >> yes. >> reporter: but chief arredando says floyd may have already been dead. he noted that chauvin did not follow the department's policies on de-escalation or providing first aid. still, prosecutors are facing the uphillel challenge of convicting a police officer who is accused of killing someone while on the job. among officers charged in a fatal on-duty shooting, less than 50% have actually been convicted and often for a lesser offense. since 2005, on

chauvin snee, mr. floyd, over time, or any of the changes significant from placing pressure on the hypopharynx? >> yes. >> let's look at exhibit 947. we offer exhibit 947 taken from exhibit 15. >> received. >> tell us what we see here in exhibit 947. >> the orientation of officer chauvin, is button his erect here but what you're seeing is the toe of his boot is no longer touching the ground. this means all of his body weight is being directed down at mr. floyd neck because in many calculations i excluded the effect of his leg and shoot because some of it was touching the ground but here you can see none of it touching the ground so we are taking half his body weight plus the weight of his gear and all of that directly down on mr. floyd neck. >> going to show you exhibit 943, did you assist in this exhibit? >> yes, i did. >> would help you to explain? >> yes. >> we offer exhibit 943. >> 943 is received. >> we are the screen. thank you. what we see here in exhibit 943? >> half of his body weight plus hal
