Prosecutors are going through Arradondo’s long history on the Minneapolis force, dating back to 1989 when he was hired as a patrol officer. — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Arradondo is talking about the motto of the MPD, to protect and serve with compassion. Chauvin is taking notes and has glanced up only a few times as his former chief testifies. Chauvin cannot see the witness box — and vice versa — because of a camera positioned on the bench — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Next on the stand: Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Prosecutor: Is there another name for death by oxygen deficiency? “Asphyxia,” Langenfeld says. — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Langenfeld says he tried to revive Floyd for roughly 30 mins after which he pronounced the man dead. He tells the jury his leading theory about Floyd’s death was cardiac arrest because of low oxygen — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Floyd arrived at HCMC in what Langenfeld describes as a PEA status or “pulseless electrical activity.” The most common cause, Langenfeld testifies, is “low oxygen.” — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Langenfeld says when paramedics brought Floyd in they told him he’d been in police custody. They did not mention a potential drug overdose or heart attack or whether anyone at the scene had performed CPR — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Langenfeld says Floyd arrived at HCMC at roughly 8:55pm. He arrived in cardiac arrest. Floyd was hooked up to machines to get his heart beating again. Asked if he ever saw Floyd’s heart beat on its own, he says, "Not to a degree sufficient to sustain life" — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Now on the stand: Bradford Langenfeld, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Center who tried to revive George Floyd and later pronounced him dead — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Schleicher told Cahill the state questioned actual MPD officers about Chauvin’s use of force to head off an anticipated defense argument that their use of force experts don’t know about Minneapolis policing — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Cahill tells prosecutor Steve Schleicher: "I think you have the right to somebody who's actually done the defensive tactic issues, use of force, training, whatever, to give their opinion about this case. But not everybody" — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Cahill says he’s not going to allow prosecutors to further question police officers on the stand about their opinions on use of force or what they would have done differently but they can talk about what training Chauvin had — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

In advance of testimony about what training Chauvin received, defense and prosecutors are arguing over what training materials can be shown to the jury. Cahill says prosecutors have to prove that Chauvin actually attended certain trainings — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Judge Cahill brings in the jury and tells them they’ve been given a “handout.” He then closed the proceedings for a few minutes, only to emerge to say they held a hearing about possible juror misconduct. He found no misconduct and we’re moving forward — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

But Cahill does not allow additional footage from Sgt. David Pleoger’s body camera showing Chauvin standing next to Lane and Kueng as they give their version of events about Floyd’s arrest — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Cahill allows the entirety of Chauvin’s body camera to be admitted. "I think that is relevant for the jury to see his demeanor, what actions he took afterwards" — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Prosecutor Matthew Frank suggests Chauvin is trying to get “in self-serving hearsay” without Chauvin having to testify — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

In a motion hearing, defense attorney Eric Nelson is moving to introduce the entirety of Chauvin’s body camera into evidence. Prosecutors object saying it would introduce “hearsay” including then-Officer Kueng briefing Chauvin on what the Cup Foods manager said about Floyd — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

We are waiting for the live stream of proceedings to begin. Judge Cahill is discussing some issues off camera with attorneys. You can follow our live coverage here https://t.co/lY5uBnbcct — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Zimmerman says Chauvin’s use of force against Floyd was “totally unnecessary” and “uncalled for.” “I saw no reason why the officers felt in danger” — PolitiTweet.org

Holly Bailey @hollybdc

Zimmerman: "Once a person is cuffed, you need to turn them on their side or have them sit up …Your muscles are pulling back when you're handcuffed. And if you're laying on your chest, that's constricting your breathing even more" — PolitiTweet.org
