Chauvin 'objectively reasonable' with Floyd -witness

But when later cross-examined by the prosecution, Brodd acknowledged that if Floyd was experiencing pain while in the prone position, and was not resisting arrest, then the use of restraint by Chauvin was not justified.

Brodd was among the first witnesses called by the defense to testify.

Chauvin has pleaded not guilty to murder and manslaughter charges for pinning Floyd's neck to the ground in the deadly arrest on May 25, 2020.
