THIS
THIS INDIVIDUAL, HOW OUR COVERAGE CONTINUES RIGHT NOW
AT FAV5, THE DEREK SHERVIN TRIAL
TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME WE ARE
SEEING SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
OF GEORGE FLOYD WALKING AROUND
INSIDE CUB FOODS. THE NEVER
BEFORE SEEN FOOTAGE SHOWS FLOYD
TALKING TO EMPLOYEES
AND EVENTUALLY HANDING
CHRISTOPHER MARTIN AN APPARENT
COUNTERFEIT TWENTY DOLLAR BILL
TO BUY CIGARETS THAT THAT VIDEO
AND MARTIN'S TESTIMONY WAS JUST
PART OF AN EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL
DAY IN THE COURTROOM. FIRST
INSIDE CUT FOODS, MARTIN
TESTIFIED THAT HE TOLD HIS
MANAGER ABOUT THE COUNTERFEIT
BILL AND HIS MANAGER CALLED
POLICE AFTER FLOYD WOULDN'T COME
BACK INSIDE THE STORE AFTER
WITNESSING WHAT LATER HAPPENED
WITH SHERVIN.
WITH SHERVIN. >> MARTIN SAYS HE FEELS GUILTY.
I WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND
DURING THAT TIME PERIOD.
DISBELIEF. THINK OF WHITE GUILT
.IF I WOULD HAVE JUST NOT TAKEN
THE BILL, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN
AVOIDED.
AVOIDED.
AVOIDED. >> AND LATER THIS AFTERNOON,
MORE EMOTIONAL TESTIMONY FROM 61
YEAR OLD CHARLES MCMILLAN WHO
BROKE DOWN AND SOBBED ON THE
STAND
STAND
.
YEAH,
YEAH, OH
YEAH, OH OH,
RHEEDA
RHEEDA STATEMENT THAT HE WAS DOING RIGHT BY MR. REAGAN.
I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S WATER
WELL , BUT IT'S JUST SO HARD
TO WATCH. SO HEARTBREAKING.
DANNY, WHAT LED UP TO
THAT MOMENT? MARINA MCMILLIANS
WAS REALLY BEING FORCED
TO RELIVE THAT DAY OF MAY.
TWENTY FIFTH ALL OVER AGAIN THIS
AFTERNOON. THAT WAS WHEN IT JUST
HAPPENED TO BE DRIVING BY.
HE LIVES IN THE AREA OF THIRTY
EIGHTH IN CHICAGO. WAS CURIOUS,
PULLED OVER AND THEN SAW MOST
OF THE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN FLOYD
AND THE OFFICER. SO TODAY
HE ACTUALLY WAS SEEING SOME
OF THE BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE
AND THAT'S WHEN YOU STARTED
TO SEE HIM BREAK DOWN. BUT HE
WAS A CRUCIAL WITNESS BECAUSE IT
ALLOWED THE STATE TO INTRODUCE
THAT BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE FOR THE
FIRST TIME TO THE JURY.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE SAW MUCH
MORE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON.
WHEN YOU SEE THE VIDEO, YOU'LL
SEE MCMILLIANS POINT HIMSELF OUT
AND WHERE HE IS IN RELATION
TO THE OFFICERS. AGAIN, I WANT
TO MENTION THE JURORS HAD NOT
SEEN ANY OF THIS VIDEO UNTIL
TODAY. IT SHOWS THE OFFICERS
IN THE LEAD UP TRYING TO GET
FLOYD INTO THE SQUAD CAR BEFORE
THEY TAKE HIM TO THE GROUND.
AWWWW CHAUVIN PUTS HIS KNEE
ON TOP OF FLOYD. YOU CAN HEAR
IN MANY VIDEOS, INCLUDING
THE BYSTANDER VIDEOS,
THAT MCMILLAN WAS TELLING FLOYD
TO COMPLY WITH THE OFFICERS.
FLOYD WAS SAYING HE CAN'T
BECAUSE HE'S BEING RESTRAINED.
AND AT THAT POINT, REALLY IN THE
MIDDLE OF SOME OF THIS VIDEO,
MCMILLIANS, AS I MENTIONED,
BECAME SO OVERWHELMED THAT THEY
JUST HAD TO STOP IT.
>> CAN YOU JUST EXPLAIN SORT
OF WHAT YOU'RE FEELING? I CAN
HEAR YOU BELIEVE
I
I DON'T
I DON'T HAVE RHEEDA JUST HTERE
.NOW,
.NOW, WHEN THE COURT TOOK A 10 MINUTE BREAK, THEY CAME BACK
AND THEN SOMETHING VERY
SIGNIFICANT HAPPENED
SIGNIFICANT HAPPENED WITH MCMILLIANS ON THE STAND.
THE PROSECUTION INTRODUCED
NEW BODY CAMERA VIDEO THAT WAS
NEVER RELEASED PUBLICLY UNTIL
TODAY, SHOWING THE INTERACTION
BETWEEN MCMILLAN AND CHAUVIN
IN THE AFTERMATH AFTER FLOYD HAD
ALREADY BEEN TAKEN AWAY BY
THE AMBULANCE. LISTEN TO THAT
KIND OF CONTROL. THIS GUY,
A SIZABLE GUY. YEAH, IT LOOKS
LIKE HE'S COMING ON SOMETHING
AND THAT IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE
IT IS REALLY THE FIRST TIME
WE'VE EVER HEARD CHAUVIN OFFER
A DEFENSE FOR HIS ACTIONS ON MAY
TWENTY FIFTH. IT IS UNCLEAR IF
HE'S GOING TO EVENTUALLY TESTIFY
IN THIS TRIAL. BUT THAT PIECE
OF EVIDENCE YOU JUST HEARD
WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT. MOVING
FORWARD. ARENA , DANNY, LATER
IN THE DAY THEY PLAYED A LOT
OF THAT BODY CAMERA VIDEO BACK
TO BACK TO BACK HERE . WE WERE
ABLE TO TURN OFF THE VIDEO OR
TURN OFF THE SOUND. BUT THOSE
IN THE COURTROOM WEREN'T ABLE
TO DO THAT KIND OF REACTION.
WERE YOU SEEING FROM PEOPLE? YOU
KNOW, IT'S DIFFICULT BECAUSE
WE'RE THE MEDIA CENTER DUE
TO COVID SO WE CAN'T SEE
THE JURORS. THAT'S THE BIG
QUESTION LU IS MENTIONING
EARLIER JUST WHAT THEIR REACTION
WAS. BUT I CAN TELL THE
LIEUTENANT FROM THE MINNEAPOLIS
POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO IS ON THE
STAND AT ONE POINT APPEARED
TO WIPE A TEAR FROM HIS EYE.
WE WERE ALSO LOOKING AT SHERVIN.
HE APPEARED TO BE TAKING NOTES
AT TIMES BUT WASN'T
