Derek Chauvin trial: Minneapolis' first black police chief testifies against ex-cop

Police Chief Medaria Arradondo, left, testified Monday, at the start of the trial's second week. Mr Arradondo fired Chauvin, right, and three other officers the day after Mr Floyd's death on May 25 last year. He said Floyd's 'tragic death was not due to a lack of training', adding: 'Chauvin knew what he was doing'. Experts had already said it is unprecedented to see a police chief testify against one of their officers. Dr. Bradford Lagenfeld, the medic who pronounced Floyd dead, also gave evidence Monday. The chair set aside for a member of Chauvin's family has been removed from Hennepin County District Courthouse; there has been nobody to support Chauvin as he sits by his attorney's side. Judge Peter Cahill granted the defense a partial victory ahead of proceedings regarding clips shown to jurors. Chauvin's attorney filed a motion asking to enter a longer edit of body-worn camera footage shown by the prosecution last week; Eric Nelson said: 'There's a lot more that happened that affected Mr Chauvin's actions'.
