>> first is mr. chauvin. eldridge: stop right there. can you tell where he is in this picture or is it too difficult? the one that you identified with an arrow is that 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 i

mr. chauvin doesn't get up. you will see the paramedics have taken the gurney out of the ambulance, rolled it over next to the body of mr. floyd and you will be able to see mr. chauvin still doesn't let up and get up. and you will see it wasn't until such time they start to -- they want to move the lifeless body of george floyd onto the gurney and only then does mr. chauvin let up and get up, and you will see him drag mr. floyd's body unceremoniously cast onto the gurney. and that was for a total of four minutes and 44 seconds. you can see here that for the first four minutes and 45 seconds you will learn mr. floyd was calling out for his life and ladies and gentlemen, not just mr. floyd. you will hear that there were any number of bystanders who were there who were also calling out to let up and get up so mr. floyd would be able to breathe and to maintain and sustain his life. but then for the remaining four minutes and 44 seconds, mr. floyd was either unconscious, breathless or pulseless. the compression, sque

>> mr. chauvin 3 -- mr. chauvin. >> when voice is saying, i don't respect what you did, or something. was that your voice? >> myoice. was mr. chauvin's voice the other voice? >> yes. >> what were you trying to do, y did you feel the need to talk to him? >> what i watched was wrong. >> did you feel it was important to tell him that? yes ma'am. >> nothing further, your honor. [no audio] >> this is day three of the trial of derek tobin -- we are listing to a witness who witnessed the arrest of george floyd. he has been giving testimony, answering questions. he has not yet taken questions from the defense, you can sleep there is a slight that she can see there is a slight pause -- mr. mcmillion became upset. he is back on the stand continuing to give evidence. as you can see, there are discussions going on before that evidce continues. what we are seeing at the moment is the prosecution continuing to call witnesses that it would like to speak to the court and give evidence that the jury can consider. once those

chauvin was following his training. there's no testimony from 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

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.

[inaudible]. >> we are in the record, we have several issues to take >> we are on the record. we have several issues to take care of

so here mr. chauvin conduct was a substantial cause and factor in mr. floyd's death. did he simply die automatically and exclusively from the low oxygen? ultimately translates into not breathing and heart stopping with cardiopulmonary arrest. did it first impact the heart and the heart stopped first? ultimately they both stopped with cardiopulmonary arrest all stemming back to the sub dual and restraint in that compression's for mr. chauvin. we all agree that was the precipitating point. and the stresses and strains from mr. floyd's body culminated in his ultimate demise and his passing away. i want to address several other points under the heading of stories that you have heard versus i think the truth. when the case started you are all asked and talk to about two sides to every story. which is one of the most dangerous things i think about the process of truth to suggest that everything is simply reduced to a story. if it is that means there can be to multiple sides and there is never a truth or reality. except we're getting to the truth and not simply stories. no i

. >> may 25, 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 a

chauvin, it got caught off before the point that mr. floyd was not breathing, he was not conscious and he didn't have a pulse and mr. chauvin was still on top of him when the emts showed up and still didn't get off of him. how is that what a reasonable officer does and if you look at totality of the circumstances which you heard so much about, why doesn't that tell you exactly where he's coming from, if we're talking about a reasonable officer? now, you heard any number of other things that in looking at the totality of circumstances and trying to do an honest assess president, you didn't get the whole story either. you got bits and pieces and parts, and i call them a story, ladies and gentlemen, because it's either completely not true, or the facts have been altered in order to make a point to you which also makes it a story. what you're going to reach when you all deliberate is the a verdict, a latin word that means the true. you're not going to be get at a story, you're going get at the truth when we've heard evidence and facts from

that is where there was deadly force applied by mr. chauvin. you know he was deadly force because we heard from officer zimmerman on the stand who told us it was deadly force. he said it was deadly force because it was force capable of killing a person which makes it deadly force. deadly force, ladies and gentlemen, once you see what mr. floyd was subjected to this deadly force in the prone position, there are certain consequences for the risk that comes with the prone position and the use of this kind of the force. that primary risk is it affect your breathing. you heard that from witness after witness. it affects your breathing. it makes it hard to breathe. you put the subject into the prone recovery position as soon as possible because you don't want to affect their breathing. low oxygen. you have evidence of low oxygen here? there is evidence of low oxygen here that is medically true. to for example the fact that mr. floyd had a seizure. that is, he is already unconscious, not breathing, and the body is having a twitching reflex. that seizu

from mr chauvin. they all agree that that was the precipitating point and then from there at the stresses, strains are mr floyd's body, the low oxygen culminated in his ultimate demise. and his passing away. sol want to address several of the points under the heading of what i think are stories that you've heard versus i think, the truth here. when the case started i think you all were asked and talk to about there being two sides to every story. two sides to every story. which is one of the most dangerous things i think, about the process because it suggests that everything is simply reduced to a story. and if it is a story that means there could be multiple sides to the story and they could never get truth or reality except what we about here getting to the truth. and not simply stories. now it is most certainly right for example, for a police officer to take seriously this overarching mission of the police department embracing the sanctity of life and protection of the public as the highest values.

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

we had submitted as you know some of mr. chauvin's body worn video averted. there are four videos that came from his body-worn camera. each one is labeled with a distinctive number that i believe represents the time it starts. so the first one we put in was 2011. that is essentially the drive there. we put all of that in. 2017 is the next video, , and unless we put all of that in -- i believe we put all of that in. and 2034, we put in through the timestamp on the video of 20:36:42. it's my understanding that the defense is asking them to put in the remainder of that video from that point forward, and just to describe a little bit what happens, then officer kueng comes out and ask for an envelope. he discusses with mr. chauvin some information he learned from somebody in the store, reasonably the manager investigating the bill. he has the bill. and officer chauvin at the time confirms there were goods and services provided. officer kueng indicates that was our guy. that obviously all presents two levels of hearsay from the store manager through then officer ku

. >> and you have evidence that 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

and therefore mr chauvin should - its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and therefore mr chauvin should be| and therefore mr chauvin should be found _ and therefore mr chauvin should be found not— and therefore mr chauvin should be found not guilty— and therefore mr chauvin should 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 jus

but mr. chauvin's not a medical doctor. he doesn't have these years of experience and hours to pour over records. he didn't need it. you know who else is not a medical doctor? 9-year-old girl is not a medical doctor. didn't need to be a medical doctor to understand that when somebody's saying i can't breathe and not just saying it. everything about them is showing that they can't breathe and when that ends they just are passed out. you don't need a phd. you don't need an md. to understand how fundamental breathing is to life and when's saying they cannot breathe and passed out and don't have a pulse even a 9-year-old little girl knows ibtd. get off of him. that's all you needed the know in that case. you just a couple more of these because i can't do them all because there's so many. this concern that george floyd would somehow come to again and say we didn't need superhuman strength except maybe we really do. we heard from three medical examiners, ladies and gentlemen. three of them. between the three of them they probably

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

in this case prosecutors arguing that 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

officers testify against mr chauvin-_ mr chauvin. it's indicative surely of _ mr chauvin. it's indicative surely of how— mr chauvin. it's indicative surely of how much - mr chauvin. it's indicative surely of how much is - mr chauvin. it's indicative i surely of how much is riding mr chauvin. it's indicative - surely of how much is riding on this trial and how broad tensions are across the country. reaction to latest police killing.— police killing. there was clearly an _ police killing. there was clearly an open - police killing. there was clearly an open wound l police killing. there was| clearly an open wound in america with how we have dealt with race and policing and so on and when you are starting —— what you are starting to see is more and more folks starting to notice it is there, just like we saw in the 60s when we saw civil rights actually start to happen, when white america, we did not think they were affected, started to notice it mattered to them, starting to see the same thing in policing right now, and part of i

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

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

floyd was on the ground under mr. chauvin. can you analyze where his knees were relative to the positioning in that first five minutes? >> i did review the positioning, yes. >> would you agree over half of that time period his left knee was on the neck and his right knee at times is on the back and other times on his left arm or pushed him against his left side? >> the positions that i observed during that period of time. >> so he's sandwiched in between with mr. chauvin on top and the asphalt pavement beneath, right? >> yes if you -- >> it's a yes or no question. >> yes. i want to ask a question about putting pressure on someone's neck. that is if you are on a person's back and applying pressure to the neck, do you agree that if pressure is applied to somebody's neck in the prone position and a person is squeezed until they become unresponsive and if the pressure is maintained for a minimum of four minutes, that can cause irreversible brain damage because the brain may be starved of oxygen, is that true? >> once oxygen stops

>> no. >> when mr. chauvin had his knees on mr. floyd's back left arm and left side, did you do any calculations, quantitatively, for how that weight on the back would have had any impact on his eelv? >>, no i did not. >>. >> would you agree with me that as the eelv goes down, as it goes down t takes more work to breathe? >> that's my understanding but i'm not a pulmonary physician. >> fair enough. for that you would defer to a pulmonary physician? >> for more detail, yes. let me ask you this and you will tell me if i'm asking the wrong person, dr. fowler, would you agree that pressure on the soft side of the neck also narrows the size of the upper airway, the hypopharynx? >> i have not seen any literature which indicates that happens. that was one of the specific things i searched for. you're correct, counselor, it was not something that was put into the report because it's not something that i have ever heard of, and so i then went and looked for pressure on the neck causing restriction of the h hypopharynx. >> if we might show e

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

>> yes. >> mr. chauvin's -- excuse me, mr. floyd's -- mr. chauvin's calf appears to be towards the shoulder blade? >> yes. >> and angled in towards the squad car, correct? >> slightly, yes. >> and then 1047. this is now at 20:27, and there's a different angle, now. >> yes. >> and you can get a better view of the placement of mr. chauvin's knee? >> yes. >> here again you have the shoulder blade, and mr. chauvin's knee is sort of at the base of the neck, correct tphao y . >> yes, i would agree. >> and then looking at exhibit 1048. can you see mr. floyd's head in this picture, correct t? >> yes. >> it gives you the depth perception of the knee on mr. floyd's neck? >> somewhat, yes. >> if we could take this down, your honor. i would like to show you what has been introduced into evidence as exhibit 1020. on the left-hand side of your screen, that appears to be the bystander video? >> yes. >> on the right-hand side that's from mr. king's body worn camera? >> yes. >> you would agree at this point based on everything that we have seen in the same p

. >> and when mr. chauvin stood up, mr. floyd's arm sort of came up, right? >> can i see that again, please? >> sure. hit just back ten seconds and start. >> it's hard because of this bar. let's try one more time. >> okay. >> can you see that? >> what was the question? repeat the question, please. >> do you observe mr. chauvin's right knee to be compressing mr. floyd's left arm? >> clarification. i think from what i see here, it was mr. chauvin's shin that was compressing the arm and the knee was actually on the back. >> that's what you believe you see? >> yes, sir. >> okay. but nevertheless, mr. floyd's left arm, the triceps area, was in between mr. chauvin's either knee or shin, right? >> yes. >> did you review and study the body-worn cameras, like, very closely yourself? >> i've seen all of them. i reviewed some -- most of them closely, yes. >> and did you attempt to understand and hear what various parties were saying at various times? >> yes. >> did you ever say, i eat too many drugs? >> no. >> i would like to publish exhibit 1007. i'm going to ask you,

it was 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 c

. >> and when mr. chauvin stood up, mr. floyd's arm sort of came up, right? >> can i see it again, please? >> sure. hit back ten seconds and start. [ indistinct chatter ] >> it's hard because of this bar. let's try one more time. >> i've got a glare as well. [ indistinct chatter ] >> can you see that? >> what was the question? repeat the question. >> do you observe mr. chauvin's right knee to be compressing mr. floyd's left arm? >> clarification. i think from what i see here, it was mr. chauvin's shin that was compressing the arm and the knee was on the back. >> that's what you believe you see? >> yes, sir. >> but, nevertheless, mr. floyd's left arm, the triceps area, was in between mr. chauvin's either knee or shin, right? >> yes. did you review and study the body-worn cameras very closely yourself? >> i've seen all of them. i'm reviewed most of them closely, yes. >> and did you attempt to understand and hear what various parties were saying at various times? >> yes. >> did you ever hear mr. floyd say i ate too many drugs? >> no. >> i'm going to publish this

nelson: by 18, 15 seconds mr. chauvin had not laid one finger on mr. floyd but a reasonable police officer walks onto the scene. he sees active resistance occurring. potentially active aggression. he has two other officers. he has not intervened. but again, based on policies and training that you have seen, what were his options available to him at that time? if a person is actively resisting distraction techniques, control takedowns, just neck restraint. these are options available to 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

chauvin was a substantial cause of mr. floyd's death and it was through that assault that continued and he also made the point, i think, repeatedly that mr. chauvin knew better and he failed to do better and i think that will go back to the jurors into the deliberations and will be very effective. >> and one of the other moments that struck me, as well, was when mr. schleicher showed all of mr. floyd's actions that he was complying with what authorities said. >> lane orders floyd to put his hands on the steering wheel. he does. that's not resistance. that's compliance. lane orders floyd to get out of the car, he does. that's not resistance, that's compliance. you can hear the sound of the handcuffs tighter and tighter. mr. floyd is trying to explain to the police that his wrists hurt, impervious to pain, please. they ask him to sit down. he sits down. not resistance, compliance. not trying to escape. not trying to evade arrest and not try trooiing to assault anybody, stab anybody, punch anybody, no. compliance. he gets up.

chauvin and/or mr. floyd come into play? >> correct. >> the volumes or figures you assessed in connection with this case, they are conditioned upon him being a healthy individual. >> it varies in terms of the lungs, say for example, compliance will vary but lung volume is pretty robust. >> okay but other factors, like you said, was the first one? >> long compliance can vary from one person to another but different segments within the lung, they are not all monolithic. >> you've talked about one thing in terms of, this is a bit of a side, in terms of the prone position and pushing of the stomach into the lungs, the size of a person's stomach has some bearing on that? >> it does. >> a person like myself has a few extra inches, if i am prone, it's going to push further up into my lungs? >> correct. >> a person whose healthy, physical, muscular will have less of an impact? >> correct. >> but in terms of what we have learned about mr. floyd from his autopsy and medical records, we understand this to floyd had some heart disease?

frank: mr. chauvin would receive cpr training on a regular basis. >> yes. frank: you are asked about the acronym to help identify potential markers of this condition. >> yes. frank: would you defer to an emergency room doctor if someone is actually experiencing delirium? >> absolutely. it's not our place to diagnose. >> i have nothing for the your honor. >> thank you officer. you are excused.
