A friend of George Floyd who was with him the day he was killed said Wednesday that he would not testify in the ongoing trial of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, invoking Fifth Amendment privileges.
A notice filed by the Hennepin County Public Defender s Office said that Morries Hall, who had been identified as a potential witness by both prosecutors and defense attorneys in Chauvin’s trial, would “invoke his fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination” if called to testify.
Assistant Public Defender Adrienne Cousins added that Hall, who was sitting in the front passenger seat of a vehicle with Floyd last May when he was initially questioned by police about allegedly using a fake $20 bill at a local convenience store, should thus be released from any obligations to appear in court.
