Gregg Jarrett: Tears, emotion, and incriminating testimony in Day 2 of Chauvin trial

'I was sad and kinda mad,' said the tiny voice. Those simple but powerful words were spoken by a 9-year-old girl who witnessed a police officer kneel on the neck of George Floyd for more than 9 horrifying minutes on the day he died. It came during highly emotional testimony on the second day of the murder and manslaughter trial of Derek Chauvin.

When prosecutor Jerry Blackwell asked her why she was sad and mad she explained, "Because it felt like he (Chauvin) was stopping his (Floyd) breathing and it was kind of like hurting him."  Her poignant description hung in the air for a long while.  Wisely, the defense chose not to cross examine her.  Her testimony lasted all of five minutes.  In a flash, she left the courtroom.  But her words will linger for the remainder of the trial.   There were other underage witnesses who took the stand.  Darnella Frazier was just 17-years-old when she recorded the tragic encounter on her cell phone.  In a trembling voice she recounted how Floyd pleaded for his life, repeatedly telling Chauvin that he couldn't breathe.  "I saw a man terrified, scared, and begging for his life. It wasn't right.  He was suffering.  He was in pain.  He cried for his mom," said Frazier.  Fighting back tears she added, "It seemed like he knew it was over for him."  Indeed, it was.  She stood by helplessly as Floyd lapsed into unconsciousness, stopped breathing, and then died.
