In the trial of ex-Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin, Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill has ruled that some evidence related to George Floyd’s 2019 arrest will be admissible.
The body camera video from the 2019 incident, which occurred a year before Chauvin kneeled on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds will be allowed to be shown, in addition to a photo showing pills inside of Floyd’s car during the previous arrest. Jurors will also be permitted to hear why a paramedic called to the scene told Floyd to go to the hospital and what his blood pressure was at the time of the 2019 incident.
Judge Cahill said there is “some relevance” to Floyd’s arrest on May 6, 2019 because it shows an example of Floyd’s physical symptoms and bodily reaction to being confronted by police in a similar situation as his deadly arrest on May 25, 2020.
