concluded that in fact george floyd was dead. a mind pick up on your point about. the ketamine maybe not specifically the ketamine but the issue of drugs because we heard gabriel was telling us earlier that this has been a big issue we heard george ford's girlfriend earlier courtney ross his partner of 3 years and she described how both she and floyd became addicted to prescription painkillers i just want us to have a little listen to her and then i'll come back to. buffalo ny are. our story it's a. classic story of. how many people get addicted that. we both suffer from chronic pain. mine was in my neck in his blood in the back. we both had prescription. but. after prescription. fill it and. leave. and and try really hard to. break that addiction many times. so back to marc now and. this is something which the prosecution introduce themselves the issue of drugs because they they needed to they needed to get ahead of it because it is such an important plank in the defense's argument however. you then get this argument basically drugs used versus knee on the net and

he was the 1st george floyd yes. but today you have the cameras all around the world to see and show what happened some of brother. it was the most impeach the world seen his life being extinguished and i could do nothing but watch. especially in a court room over and over and over again as my brother was murdered. times they're getting harder every day. 2 miles away from here mr wright done to me right here he should still be here. we ought to always understand it we have to march we will have to do is follow life. we have to protest because it seems like this is a never ending cycle. revenue i'll always told me we gotta keep fighting. i'm a put up a fight every day because i'm not just fighting for joss anymore i'm fighting for everybody around his world. i get calls i get d.m. speedball from brazil from gun from germany everybody learned it in italy they all stand the same thing we won't be able to breed until you are able to breed. today we are able to breathe again. ms gone are told you will get justice and we s

as a clinician did you observe the results of lox agend in the video showing the last minutes of george ford's life yes what did you observe. i mean in terms of what we're seeing is that the changes in his facial appearance this becomes crucially important again in seeing the effects of the low oxygen. and have you seen this effect and other patients as a clinician yes you know because i work in an i.c.u. where 40 percent of our patients die so i'm extremely familiar with seeing people who die unfortunately so when when you see these changes you see the changes in the face it is the key way of noticing something happening because by looking at effects on the face dr i want to show you exhibit 15 already been admitted into evidence. at 44 and. i want to play a clip. and have you tell us what it shows. at the beginning you can see he's conscious you can see slight freakery and then it disappears. and so 11 second he's alive and one second he's no longer. could we just once more. see. this one's like. it is. 202453 in the composite. yet and the this the speed is slowed down by 30 or so c.

and it killed george floyd. that force for 9 minutes and 29 seconds that killed george floyd he betrayed the badge and everything it stood for it's not how they're trained it's not following the rules this is not an anti police prosecution it's a cruel cli's prosecution. the defendant. abandoned his values abandoned the training and killed a man. and won. right out in the public. in broad daylight in front of several bystanders as they looked in shock in horror why. this all started over a call of an alleged counterfeit $20.00 bill but george floyd's life was taken for something worth far far less far less. you saw the photo you saw the body language you can learn a lot about someone by looking at their body language. defendant facing down that crowd. there pointing cameras at him. recording him telling him what to do challenging his authority his ego his pride not the kind of pride that makes you do better be better the kind of ego based pride. that the defended was not going to be told what to do he was not go

it's all change for the young couple when elizabeth sparta king george the 6th died at only 56 years of age she became queen and philip in the words of his private secretary looked as if the world would fall and down on him his naval career ended along with his independence prince philip was sort of forced into making huge sacrifices he was very much a man's man not someone who was going to naturally fall into the position of playing 2nd fiddle and walking 2 paces behind his wife and calling how ma'am in public and so on and so began life in the queen shadow hundreds of engagements a year he did however manage to find time for his own charities helping young people and conserving wildlife very energetic a problem solver sort of scientific cast of mind so there is a sort of you know on the positive side the attributes that people admired sometimes you know his hit his detractors would would would say that you know some of his forthrightness could come across as rudeness philip had a reputation for embarrassing politically incorrect remarks whether he was being rude about the chinese o

derek chauvinist still had his knee on george floyd's neck while he was not alive george floyd and that nobody was trying to administer any sort of help to george floyd that was a pretty key part of the testimony today i thought because it pretty much lays to rest any possible defense argument that maybe george floyd was still alive and he died later at the hospital or something to that effect that's clearly not the case and that was very clear today in the testimony so i think that was a major takeaway 2nd i think the testimony and you're seeing right now excuse me the family of george floyd coming out of the courtroom i don't know if he can scuse me barbara this is some warriors for the family and also george floyd's brother in the blue suit. how do you feel the trial went today. ok that was they didn't respond when i asked them how how they thought the trial went today they didn't respond but that was george floyd's brother he's one of 2 family members that are in the courtroom throughout all of this trial so far as i was saying barbara i think the 2nd big takeaway from today was the

as to what might have caused the death of george floyd and obviously. the fact that he had drugs in his system is going to be and has started to obviously be one of the main arguments of the fence and we can see the defense prosecutor. the defense attorney there let's go to alan fischer who is following developments for us just outside court in let me ask you this allan what have you made of the past hour or so. this is really just a boat lying the training that police officers get when it comes to dealing with those who may suffer a medical emergency when they're in their custody the defense making it very clear that the given the techniques and the tools to be able to shoot people such as george floyd if you suddenly became unconscious what the defense are trying to do in the still trying to build this case at the moment is that everything becomes slightly more complicated if someone is on drugs and we know that derek children believe that george floyd was in drugs certainly there was an interesting hours of evidence this morning here in minneapolis w

chicago you had massive riots after george floyd was killed on may 25th and washington d.c. you also had conflicts between protests protesters and police so both of those cities now have national guard troops in them is well this is truly a national phenomenon and we're all on pins and needles waiting for that decision in 90 minutes. john hendren outside the courthouse across live back to you when we do get the verdict for the moment thank you let's go to elsewhere in minneapolis because of course the city has become the center of attention that's going to she have been at red tand see as you have tell us where and who you're with. well i'm actually on the other side of the courthouse john as john was a few blocks up we're actually outside the courthouse which as you can see is heavily fortified now the have been county government center and i think this is taken everyone by surprise just how rapidly this came not least the protesters in fact there's only one solitary woman with a black lives flag over there who is when the announcement came was mobbed by press in fact we ha

did you see george floyd using drugs yes did you use drugs with george floyd yes they're trying to humanize it and not make it something that just comes out in the trial at a later when the defense decides to do it so they're trying to introduce the issue of drug use to the jury early on in this trial that some of what's a prosecution is trying to do this is going to be a key part of the trial and that's why you're hearing about it right now the defense treading very carefully as well. gabriel because well it's difficult to. the woman on the stand who regardless of how she lost her boyfriend she did her boyfriend of 3 years died the defense has to play this very carefully while still i guess making their point. yeah they do and you saw in the prosecution the very 1st question she was asked when she took the took the witness stand very 1st question the prosecutor asked was how did you meet george floyd and she immediately within seconds had she started choking up and getting sad and she had regained herself a little bit she was crying this is an incredibly emotional trial. but the defense of

aid or by staying there for longer than necessary did he put george floyd's life at risk did he force him to go on point is that because him to stop breathing therefore did he cause his death and therefore he was guilty of murder and so it's hard to judge after each witness or who's leading who's behind it and it would be wrong to do that i think what both sides have agreed is that the use of force is necessary for it by police in this day and age it is something that has to happen that there are techniques in dealing with it in deescalating but also trying to get someone under control and was pointed out during evidence anyone who's being arrested very rarely is happy to be arrested and so therefore they will argue they will perhaps even physically fight with the officers that are doing it here they were establishing that george floyd was put into the position this position by derek shove and the prosecution are alleging that 9 minutes and 29 seconds was excessive and by doing so for as long as he did derek shogun put george ford's life at risk well as alan was just saying and i saw
