Mpls Police Officer Scott Creighton is testifying about arresting George Floyd on May 6, 2019.
According to the defense, which is expected to begin calling witnesses Tuesday morning, the video shows park police arriving at 38th and Chicago and interacting with the passengers in George Floyd’s car.
In a motions hearing before the jury was seated, prosecutors argued that the video contains hearsay and shows George Floyd’s personal information when the officer looks him up on the squad computer.Throughout the trial, the defense has worked to show that the crowd who watched Floyd’s arrest — and yelled at Chauvin — were a distraction to officers.
