The prosecution in Derek Chauvin's murder trial in the death of George Floyd rested its case Tuesday morning, allowing the defense to begin to present its side. Chauvin's attorney called six witnesses, including a park police officer who was called to the scene at Cup Foods and a woman who was in the car with Floyd when police arrived.

Defense use-of-force expert, Barry Brodd, testified that he believed Chauvin acted reasonably.

The defense is expected to finish presenting its case this week, with closing arguments slated for Monday.
