The trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin continues on April 2 with key witness testimony. Chauvin, who was filmed with his knee on George Floyd’s neck in May, faces murder and manslaughter charges for the encounter that sparked months of historic protests around the world. This stream contains graphic content.
other officers charged in the case — J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas K. Lane and Tou Thao — are set to be tried separately in August. Witnesses who have taken the stand in the emotional first week of the trial have expressed deep regret for not having done more to try to save Floyd, who was 46 when he died. Cup Foods clerk Chris Martin said “this could have been avoided,” while witness Charles McMillian broke down after re-watching the video of Floyd in police custody.
The Post’s Rhonda Colvin will anchor live coverage featuring reporters Mary Beth Albright, Keith Alexander, Holly Bailey, Nicole Ellis, Hannah Jewell, Robert Samuels and Eugene Scott. Plus, columnist James Hohmann.
“When Mr. Floyd was no longer offering up any resistance to the officers, they could have ended the restraint.”
