Yes, that is his defense.
Also his attorney was trying to say because of the rowdy crowd, Chauvin couldn't attend to George. OMG...
Also because of his question to this witness he opened the door for the prosecutor to follow up & garner her powerful response.
The teenage bystander who recorded a viral video of George Floyd's death broke down in tears on the witness stand Tuesday, saying she regrets not doing more to possibly save his life.
In an emotional moment on the second day of testimony, Darnella Frazier could barely articulate her sorrow about watching Floyd as Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with murder in his death, knelt on his neck.
"It's been nights, I stayed up apologizing and apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more and not physically interacting and not saving his life," a tearful Frazier told jurors in response to questions from prosecutor Jerry Blackwell.
"But it's like, it's not what I should have done," Frazier added. "It's what he (Chauvin) should have done."
Frazier said every time she views the video of the fatal interaction, she thinks of all of her male relatives and Black male friends who could have been in the same situation as Floyd.
