Methamphetamine. We know from ms. Ross that in March Of 2020 mr. Floyd was seen for a drug overdose. She described how he felt in that instance. She said his whole body hurt. His stomach hurt. We know, based again from ms. Ross, that he was clean and sober for some time while they were in quarantine. We know that ms. Ross again described taking about a week before a similar pill to the one they had back in march. Kept her up again all night. She said she felt like she was going to die. We know, again, from ms. Ross, that those pills were purchased from mortys hall. She described going to the hotel while mr. Floyd, while George Floyd was on the phone with him. She heard his voice. We know mr.

rebuttal flipping that narrative. you were told, for example, that mr. floyd died that mr. floyd died because his heart was too big. you heard that testimony. the reason george floyd is dead is because mr. chauvin s heart was too small. as jury deliberations play out, the nation is bracing for the possibility of unrest. law enforcement agencies in minneapolis and in other cities around the country are preparing for any violence that could be sparked by the outcome of the trial. this as lawmakers are facing renewed pressure to act finally on police reform in some sort of bipartisan compromise. cnn s josh campbell is in minneapolis and will be in the courtroom today. josh, we don t know how many days the jury will deliberate. they ll start later this morning. tell us how things will play out. i think it s important first for those who may not have served on a jury to understand just how personality driven this process is. think about it. you have 12 members of the publi
