On Thursday, the Derek Chauvin trial continued with a wide array of witnesses taking the stand in Minneapolis.
Those who testified in Hennepin County Courthouse included George Floyd s girlfriend Courteney Ross, two paramedics from Hennepin County EMS, a Minneapolis Fire Department captain and a former sergeant of the Minneapolis Police Department.
Floyd s girlfriend tearfully told a jury Thursday the story of how they met at a Salvation Army shelter where he was a security guard with this great, deep Southern voice, raspy and how they both struggled mightily with an addiction to opioids. Our story, it s a classic story of how many people get addicted to opioids. We both suffered from chronic pain. Mine was in my neck and his was in his back, 45-year-old Ross said on Day 16 (jury selection included) of Chauvin s murder trial. She added they tried really hard to break that addiction many times.
