The medical examiner who ruled George Floyd’s death a homicide said heart disease combined with being restrained by Derek Chauvin and two other officers led to the man’s death. Other medical experts described Floyd’s being squeezed between Chauvin’s knee, the other officers on his back and legs and the pavement. Meanwhile, Minneapolis police leaders testified that Chauvin’s use of force did not follow his training. This is a special edition of Minnesota Today for Saturday, April 10, 2021. Hosted by Nina Moini. Theme music by Gary Meister.
