re: George Floyd Trial Chauvins’ Defence Faces Uphill Battle
George Floyds's Brother Says Death was 'Modern Day Lynching' as Jury Watches Horror Video
Grieving Philonise Floyd said Derek Chauvin committed a 'modern day lynching' when he killed George Floyd in 'broad daylight' - Chauvin denies charges of second and third degree murder and second degree manslaughter
BBC News, 30 MAR 2021.
The video showed George Floyd pleading 27 times to cop on his neck 'I can't breathe'
He goes on: “I will probably die this way, I’m through, I’m through. They’re going to kill me man. My stomach hurts, my neck hurts, everything hurts.”
But the Minneapolis court heard Chauvin, 45, refused to move and “does not let up and does not get up”.
Witnesses tell him: “He’s not moving. Get off his neck.”
One woman says: “They’ve killed him. He’s black they don’t care.”
Grieving Philonise Floyd spoke ahead of the trial of ex-police officer Derek Chauvin, accused of murder.
A US jury saw a horrifying video, lasting nine minutes and 29 seconds, of Mr Floyd’s dying moments with *Chauvin’s digging his knee deep into the victim’s neck.
The arrested dad pleads 27 times: “I can’t breathe. Please I can’t breathe.”
He cries out for his dead mother and says: “Tell my kids I love them.”
