Wrenching testimony from bystanders interspersed with video of George Floyd’s last moments dominated the first week of testimony in the trial of Derek Chauvin. The former Minneapolis police officer’s superiors also testified that the force used seemed beyond what was necessary. This is a special edition of Minnesota Today for April 3, 2021.
