Witness At Floyd Trial Feels "Disbelief And Guilt" Over His Death

"If I would have just not taken the bill, this could have been avoided," Christopher Martin told the court on the third day of Chauvin's trial.

A store clerk said Wednesday at the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin that he regretted accepting the fake $20 bill from George Floyd that led to his arrest and eventual death. "If I would have just not taken the bill, this could have been avoided," Christopher Martin told the court on the third day of Chauvin's trial. Another witness on Wednesday broke down in sobs on the stand as he watched police bodycam footage of Floyd pleading for his mother during his arrest. Chauvin, 45, is charged with murder and manslaughter for his role in Floyd's May 25, 2020 death, which was captured on video and sparked anti-racism protests around the world.
