WCCO Radio Minneapolis reporter Susie Jones joins John Williams to recap Wednesday’s proceedings in the trial of Derek Chauvin for the death of George Floyd. She breaks down two main points explored by both the defense and the prosecution: the unruly crowd and the deciphering of something George said to police while pinned down.
