17-year-old Darnella Frazier testified Tuesday in the Derek Chauvin murder trial, telling the jury in a tearful voice :

‘I heard George Floyd saying: “I can’t breathe, please get off of me.” He was in pain.’

‘He just stared at us. He had like this cold look, heartless. It seemed as if he didn’t care. It didn’t change anything that he was doing,’ she said.

She added that when bystanders begged the police officer to stop he pressed harder into Floyd’s neck.

 

 

 

This follows yesterday’s testimony from MMA fighter Donald Winn Williams II who told the court that he called 911 about Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck because he believed he ‘witnessed a murder.’

 

 

Williams began to cry as jurors were played audio of the 911 call he placed as he stood outside Cup Foods, in which he named officer 987 and said: ‘He just pretty much killed this guy. He wasn’t resisting arrest. He had his knee on his neck. He wasn’t resisting arrest or nothing, he was handcuffed.’

If convicted on the most serious count, Chauvin faces a possible 40 years in prison.

If found guilty of manslaughter he faces a maximum penalty of ten years though he could be free within five.
