US jury watches George Floyd say “I can’t breathe” 27 times as trial begins – BBC News


The trial has begun of a white former police officer accused of killing George Floyd in MInneapolis.

The prosecutor focused on Mr Floyd’s final minutes, replaying video footage which showed Mr Floyd gasping for breath and repeatedly saying “I can’t breathe” as the officer, Derek Chauvin, knelt on his neck.

The defence are arguing that Mr Floyd’s health conditions and drug use contributed to his death.

Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Aleem Macbool from the court, and North America editor Jon Sopel.
