      Prosecutor Steve Schleicher told jurors about "horrified bystanders" who watched Officer Derek Chauvin with his knee on George Floyd's neck. Prosecutors and Chauvin's defense attorney presented different views of the bystanders in the trial.http://apne.ws/tyiKzTR

      "You heard him. You saw him. He was not impervious to pain. It’s nonsense.” Prosecutor Steve Schleicher said in his closing argument Monday that George Floyd did not show any signs of "excited delirium."http://apne.ws/WJsqid1

      Defense attorney Eric Nelson is arguing that Derek Chauvin was acting as a "reasonable police officer" when he used force against George Floyd based on what he knew at the time. The reasonable officer standard is key to Chauvin's defense.http://apne.ws/GJMNaJt

      Derek Chauvin was required to wear a mask during most of his trial in George Floyd's death but took it off for his lawyer's closing. The mask hid his reactions, including any signs of sympathy or remorse that legal experts said could make a difference.http://apne.ws/bD7rIZD

          So if I take illegal drugs people can commit crimes, fight with police, and police officers have to let me alone?

          I have not watched the case. I will say once U are detained by the law. U become the responsible of the law. The man died in their custody. Therefore they are responsible. I don’t think the officer is guilty of murder 1. But is responsible for the death.
