2:13Now PlayingDarnella Frazier, the teenager who shot the widely seen video of George Floyd's arrest, testified on Tuesday at Derek Chauvin's trial.
Frazier said she was walking to Cup Foods with her cousin when she came upon the officers.
Under questioning from prosecutor Jerry Blackwell, Frazier said she sent her cousin into the store because she didn't want the girl to see "a man terrified, scared, begging for his life."
"It wasn't right, he was suffering, he was in pain," Frazier said, breathing heavily, her voice choking at times.
Prosecutors led off their case by playing part of the harrowing bystander video of Floyd's arrest. Chauvin and three other officers were fired soon after the footage became public.
Prosecutor Jerry Blackwell showed the jurors the video after telling them that the number to remember was 9 minutes, 29 seconds — the amount of time Chauvin had Floyd pinned to the pavement "until the very life was squeezed out of him."
Nelson countered by arguing: "Derek Chauvin did exactly what he had been trained to do over his 19-year career."
The defense attorney also disputed that Chauvin was to blame for Floyd's death, as prosecutors contend.
