Derek Chauvin trial: Minneapolis store clerk felt 'guilt' for taking Floyd's counterfeit bill that led to call

Ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s criminal trial on Wednesday featured testimony from a former convenience store clerk who was handed a counterfeit $20 bill from George Floyd, which ultimately set in motion the man’s encounter with law enforcement.

"If I would’ve just not tooken [sic] the bill, this could’ve been avoided," the 19-year-old Christopher Martin said, joining the burgeoning list of onlookers who have expressed a similar sense of helplessness and lingering guilt over Floyd's death. Martin said Floyd, 46, handed him what he believed to be a bogus $20 bill while buying cigarettes at the shop.
