Who is Charles McMillian?
Charles McMillian is a 61-year-old man who witnessed the death of George Floyd outside a store in Minneapolis. He has currently been called upon as a witness in the trial against one of the former officers, Derek Chauvin.
During the trial when McMillian saw the footage of Floyd s interaction with the police officers and his eventual death, the 61-year-old witness broke down saying he felt helpless . McMillian recalled the incident. Basically, I [saw] the officer asking Mr Floyd to get out of the truck. Floyd was later allowed to sit on the sidewalk and was placed in handcuffs. Two police officers made Floyd stand up and walked him across the street to a police car parked outside Cup Foods.
“That’s after he was handcuffed and on the ground and no longer resisting?,” the prosecution asked, to which Ploeger replied, “Correct.”
“Would you agree that a person may be restrained only to the degree necessary to keep them under control?” prosecutor
Steve Schleicher asked.
During opening statements Monday, prosecutor
Jerry Blackwell told the jury, “The evidence is going to show you that there was no cause in the first place to use lethal force against a man who was defenseless, who was handcuffed, who was not resisting.”
As
theGRIO previously reported, Floyd, 46, was declared dead after Chauvin, who is white, pressed his knee against his neck for 9 minutes, 29 seconds as Floyd lay face-down on the pavement, handcuffed and crying “I can’t breathe.” Ploeger told the court that Chauvin did not mention putting his knee on Floyd’s neck during their initial conversation after the arrest.
Who is Kellie Chauvin?
A chance meeting brought Kellie Chauvin close to Derek. Born on October 21, 1974, she is a Hmong American former radiologist and beauty queen. When she was three, her family left Laos. In 1977, they fled to safety in Thailand and lived in a refugee camp.
Memories of those times still haunt Kellie when they left everything and carried just a few possessions on their backs. She once confessed that she stopped eating oatmeal because it was an echo of those dark days at the camp. Kellie wore a boy s jacket to keep herself warm as she had no winter wear.
