George Floyd murder trial: Jury shown harrowing video of his death March 29, 2021 at 03:46PM

Prosecutors sought to demonstrate that then-police officer Derek Chauvin had no justification for using the dangerous move for some nine minutes on Floyd, an African-American man, last May during an arrest on a minor charge. But Chauvin's attorney countered that he would prove that Floyd was on drugs, forcing officers to take tough action, and that his death was caused by the drugs and a medical condition rather than asphyxiation.
