Summary
Former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin’s supervisor testified that the force being used by officers should have stopped earlier. Retired Sgt. David Pleoger told the court “when Mr. Floyd was no longer offering up any resistance to the officers, they could have ended the restraint.” Chauvin’s defense team has already said the jury will learn that the former police officer “did exactly what he had been trained to do.” Mark O’Mara is a criminal defense attorney and successfully represented George Zimmerman, who was found not guilty for the murder of Trayvon Martin. O’Mara joins AC360 to discuss Pleoger’s testimony and the strategy for the defense. Plus, sources tell CNN Rep. Matt Gaetz showed nude photos of women he said he’d slept with to lawmakers, including while on the House floor. The Florida Republican is being investigated by the Justice Department over sex trafficking allegations. Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara tells AC360 the DOJ takes these cases seriously because “it involves minors.”
