(WBTV) - People in the Charlotte community say they are bothered and stressed over the Derek Chauvin trial. The former Minneapolis police officer is charged with the murder of George Floyd. “I cried every time,” Char-Meck NAACP President Rev. Corine Mack said. “They cry - I cry. Every time I saw it I cried. Every time I heard it - I cried.” Mack has been watching the trial and was concerned when she saw testimony during week one that had people on the stand blaming themselves they didn’t do more to save George Floyd’s life.
