MN - George Floyd, 46, died in police custody, Minneapolis, 25 May 2020 #7 - Chauvin Trial Day 4

Voir dire a witness in the middle of a trial?
I'm confused

 

[UKslueth2018]

Review completed by shift supervisor

Same questions we asked earlier. Groan

 

[UKslueth2018]

When a use of force incident becomes critical he doesn’t have involvement anymore

 

[UKslueth2018]

Witness did not complete the force review

 

[UKslueth2018]

In this case were you allowed to watch the entirety of the body cam

Witness yes

 

[UKslueth2018]

State back on

 

[UKslueth2018]

Judge wants clarity on force review

 

[Weki]

Whether he completed the review or not he should be able to render an opinion as a supervisor after seeing the body cam. This is crazy!

 

[UKslueth2018]

State now asking his questions again about force reviews

Going round in circles.

Witness was DC supervisor so it would be powerful if he stated he thought force was unreasonable

 

[ElizaKate]

Nelson is desperate not to get this admitted. And we all know why. MOO

 

[UKslueth2018]

State is trying to point out witness has to make this judgement call each time he does a forcright review ala the policy so he does have the experience or lack of foundation to give a limited opinion

 

[UKslueth2018]

Nelson back at it saying he hasn’t completed review

 

[FinalGirl]

He's allowed it!

Thank you! so that question makes sense. The officer may have thought he felt a pulse. IMO

Keep in mind we have seen/heard that he shares with the others that he did not feel a pulse.

 

[UKslueth2018]

State can ask specific question

 

[Weki]

Thank you finally some common sense! They should’ve let up when he stopped resisting. Obvious answer!

 

[ElizaKate]

Anyone else notice this witness keeps cautiously side glancing at Chauvin...

 

[UKslueth2018]

State

Based on review do you have an opinion on when the restraint should have ended
Witness:
Yes when Mr Floyd was offering up no resistance

 

[Algo214]

I literally cheered when the Judge allowed the question and witness answered the obvious.

Imo, 3rd degree is met.

 

[Breathe]

Where is the jury sitting in the courtroom? Witness box is on one side of the judge and is the jury on the other side? Thank you!
