13:30Now PlayingFor the first time, a jury heard testimony from one of the former Minneapolis police officers charged in connection with the murder of George Floyd.
On the stand for a full day today, Tou Thao, the first of the three defendants called to the stand, tried to make the case that his role during that May of 2020 incident wasn't to restrain Floyd but to focus on keeping the growing crowd at bay and not on Floyd’s wellbeing.
Criminal defense attorneys Sue-Ann Robinson and Tony Thedford join Yodit Tewolde on “Making the Case” to talk through other notable moments from Thao’s testimony today.
All this and more on “Making the Case.”
