Firefighter, 9-year-old and teens give powerful testimony in Derek Chauvin trial

Six bystanders who witnessed George Floyd die took the stand on the second day of Derek Chauvin’s criminal trial. The jury heard testimony from a 9-year-old, three high school students, a mixed martial arts fighter and a Minneapolis firefighter. MMA fighter Donald Wynn Williams II said he “felt the need to call the police on the police” because “I believe I witnessed a murder.” Former federal prosecutor Laura Coates tells AC360 testimony like Williams’ helps the prosecution “tremendously” because it builds upon what other witnesses are testifying. Plus, all 50 states have expanded or have plans to expand their Covid-19 vaccine eligibility to everyone 16 and up as cases rise in 24 states. Dr. Peter Hotez is the co-director at the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children's Hospital. He joins AC360 to discuss to the spike in cases and says it’s a matter of “not doing reckless things until we can vaccinate the American people.”  Airdate: March 30, 2021   Guests: Laura Coates Dr. Peter Hotez To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
