“I heard him keep trying to ask them to let him up, because he can’t breathe. And even I said to the officer, I said, man, he said he can’t breathe. They said, if he keep talking, well, he can breathe,” McMillian said.
Chauvin faces second and third-degree murder charges, as well as one charge of second-degree manslaughter. As of now, the trial is expected to last roughly four weeks.
