Testimony Begins In Chauvin Trial Following Opening Statements

Opening Arguments Begin In Derek Chauvin Trial Over Death Of George Floyd

Testimony is underway in the trial of the former Minneapolis police officer accused of killing George Floyd. 

Derek Chauvin is charged with murder after kneeling on Floyd's neck during an arrest last May. 

Defense Attorney Eric Nelson gave his opening statement and told the jury they need to look at the totality of the evidence and "use reason and common sense." 

Earlier, prosecutor Jerry Blackwell showed the graphic video of Floyd's death and said Chauvin betrayed his badge. 

The prosecution acknowledged Floyd had drugs in his system, but placed the cause of his death squarely on Chauvin.
