This morning, the trial started with opening statements from the prosecution as well as the defense attorneys representing officer Chauvin.

Both opening arguments concluded just before noon eastern time this morning. After a 20-minute recess, the trial has resumed with the first of what will be a long list of witness testimony.

In its opening statement, the prosecution focused on the fact that officer Chauvin did not “get up” or “let up” after kneeling on the neck of George Floyd for nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds. It is their contention that this is what caused the death of Mr. Floyd.

The defense, meanwhile, is trying to show that Mr. Floyd died as a result of a heart condition complicated by the ingestion of narcotics and the stress of the situation.
