Derek Chauvin trial: Darnella Frazier, 18, who filmed viral George Floyd video apologizes for 'not doing more'

The second witness to be called to the stand Tuesday in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged in George Floyd’s death, was 18-year-old Darnella Frazier.

Minnesota prosecutor Jerry Blackwell addressed Frazier on Tuesday by using only her first name, a rule set by the court given she did not turn 18 until recently and she is a senior in high school. The teenager described how she and her 9-year-old cousin were seen on security footage walking to Cup Foods that day when they encountered "a man terrified, scared, begging for his life." "When I look at George Floyd I look at my dad, my brother, my uncle because they are all Black. I look at that and I look at how that could be one of them," Frazier told the court, as she began to audibly cry. "There have been nights I stayed up apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more, not physically interacting and not doing more."
