'What the defendant did to George Floyd killed him' -prosecutor

Over and over again, Steve Schleicher, a prosecutor with the Minnesota attorney general's office, repeated a phrase: "Nine minutes and 29 seconds," — the length of time Chauvin was captured on video on May 25, 2020, kneeling on the dying Floyd's neck.

"Sometimes you ask for the truth and sometimes you insist on the truth, and truth is the defendant was on top of him for 9 minutes and 29 seconds," Schleicher said.
