The crout to check for a pulse, from even an offduty firefighter. She was not shown on camera today because she is a minor, but listen to how seeing mr. Floyd die has affected her life. Theres been nights i stayed up apologizing and apologizing to george floyd for not doing more and not not interacting in, not saving his life but like its not what i should have done. Its what he should have done. That witness young cousin just 9 years old also took the stand and said Ambulance Workers had to push officer chauvin off of george floyd when they arrived on the scene as Cnns Omar Jimenez reports. Good morning, members of the jury. Reporter the story of what happened on may 25th, 2020 In Minneapolis told today through the lens of eyewitnesses. I believe i witnessed a murder. Reporter Donald Williams was standing feet away from george floyd as he was pinned under the knee of Derek Chauvin. After floyd seeminglys unresponsive body was loaded into ambulance that day, williams called the police on the police he had just witnessed, in particular Derek Chauvin. That 911 audio was played in court. The guy wasnt resisting arrest. Reporter he didnt feel like he could talk to the overs at scene. Did you believe that they were involved . Yes, totally. Reporter but the move Contentious Exchange of the trial so far did you say that . Is that what you heard . Was between williams and chauvins attorney during crossexamination. You called him a tough guy . I did. You called him a real man . I did. You called him such a man. I did. You called him bogus. I did. You called him a bum at least 13 times. Those terms grew more and more angry, would you agree with that . It grew more and more pleading for life. The defense emphasizing a point it made during opening statements, that the perceived threat from a growing crowd caused chauvin to direct his attention away from floyds care. The next witnesses appear by audio only since they were under 18 at the time of floyds death including a 9yearold and 18yearold cousin only identified as d. F. Shes the one who filmed the now infamous Cell Phone Video seen around the world. I see a man on the ground and i see a cop kneeling down on him. Reporter she was asked to identify Derek Chauvin in court as the same officer she saw on the scene that day. Are you able to tell the Ladies And Gentlemen of the jury if you know who this man is. You can take your time. The ch i why, yes. She felt threatened by the police there, including chauvin there, a day she cant let go of even close to aer yoo later. When i look at george floyd, i look at i look at my dad. I look at my brothers. Theres been nights ive stayed up apologizing and apologizing to george floyd for not doing more and not interacting, but its like its not what i should have done. Its what he should have done. We lost omars shot there, but lets discuss as we wait for the trial to pick back up any moment. Joining us right now shan woo and van jones. The prosecution has called five witnesses today. They all watched george floyd die last may. They were there in person. Two of them recorded what they saw. Now they are witnesses to a crime so i understand them testifying, but they also filmed the crime. I mean, the jury saw this with their own eyes, too, so explain the prosecutions strategy. The prosecution is using a very compelling strategy. They are trying to put the jurors in the shoes of those eyewitnesses, trying to put them right there on that street to feel the same outrage, to feel the same helplessness that all of us felt and how those witnesses must have felt right there. Thats very strong evidence and its so interesting in this time theres so much video available from the cell phones. These are not government Surveillance Cameras or evidence, evidence that came from citizens who watched it so thats a very compelling way to present this case and theres dangers, too, because its very emotional and prosecutors will have to be careful that they dont end up being accused of appealing too much to emotion later on in the trial. And we heard from one witness when she was 17 when she saw george floyd die. When she looks at pictures of george floyd she sees her dad and brothers and uncles and she stays up nights apologizing to him for not doing more when she saw him on the street. Heart wrenching, really. Yeah, when you when you have a lynching which is what this was, you arent just torturing the individual who youre strangling to death, youre torturing the whole community. That was the point of the lynching. It wasnt to laud power over one person, not just to tore tune one person to death. It was all the witnesses who were helpless to rescue their uncle, their father from this horrific act and thats why this thing thing struck such a deep cord. Its not just the jurors who are being put in the position of being a witness, the whole world has been in that position for nearly a year. That video, that young woman is going to be tortured by this for the rest of her life and did a service to humanity and she suffered for it. Lets go back to minnesota where judge cahill is reconvening the trial. They just are swearing in a witness. Genevieve smith i believe is her name. Genevieve hanson. Lets listen in. Is that is even a problem given that were playing them before the witness testifies and she would be available for that questioning. I dont say a confrontation issue, mr. Nelson. Are you fine with that arrangement . So stipulated. All right. Then those exhibits 24 and 25 and received. Thank you, your honor. At this time we will play exhibit 24. You call what hes doing okay .

Im not on call. Freedom of speech. The. Dont touch me. Dont touch me. Dont touch me. Dont touch him. Dont touch him. Dont touch me. Dont touch me, bro. Dont touch me, bro. You cant do that. Whats that guys number . And then, your honor, we would publish to the jury exhibit 25. 911, what is your emergency . Hello. Im on The Block Of 38th and chicago, and i literally watched Police Officers not take a pulse and not do anything to save a man, and i am a First Responder myself, and i literally have it on video. I just happened to be on a walk, so i do you want to speak to a supervisor. Ive been recording this. Im recording this right now and im willing to talk to them, if i need to talk to a supervisor right now or someone need to contact me later on. Let me get you over to the supervisor, okay. Happening on one second. May 25, 202020. Thank you, your honor. We would call Genevieve Hanson to the stand. Please stand behind the chair. Okay. Thats fine. Raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm on the penalty of perjury that the truth that youre about to get will be the truth and nothing but the truth. Yes, sir. Have a seat. I ask that you remove your mask. Okay. And lets begin by you giving your full name, spelling each of your names, please. My name is genevieve, Genevieve Hanson. Last name hanson, hansen. Go ahead. Thank you, your honor. Miss hansen, whats your current okay nation what do you do . Im a firefighter for minneapolis city. Thus the uniform youre wearing today. Correct, sir. And how long have you been a phefert for the city of minneapolis . Just about two years now. And so not a question i often like to ask women but how old are you . 27. 27. Theres a reason that we ask you and the jury will figure that out later. Okay. So for about two years now youve been a firefighter and can you describe for the jurors, you know, what you had to do to become a firefighter for the city of minneapolis. I theres a hiring process, and once youre hired we go through an emt training. I certified for the state and a national license. And then you go forward with a firefighter license. Thats a fourmonth academy. And so tell us well even before starting as a firefighter did you have to learn some first aid type . Yeah, it wasnt necessarily done on the job but hi gone through an emt program already so i had gone through the course twice. Okay. So when did you first do the emt program . I think it was sometime in 2017. And so what was that program . How long was that . Its called Pathways Academy, and it was a summer it was just the majority of the summer. I went to a fire station and did my course. And so that do you remember how long that was . Was that four months, did you say . Maybe about that . It wasnt every day so it depends on what you do. And what kind of things did you do during your work at Pathways Academy . We did a lot of the Pathways Academy is longer than your typical emt training because it really wants to give a chance to people to pass it. Its quite a difficult test so we did a lot of handson training and book work. And so the book work, what kinds of books were you learning in that . Probably more than you need to know about the anatomy and different bones and the way your heart works and then down to basic lifesaving things that we need to know for for my job or if you wanted to move forward with paramedics. I could go on. So you have some classroom . Wreck. And do you remember how long the Classroom Restriction was . I do. Okay. I think it was like an eighthour day or Something Like that. And then you have some more handson training. That was throughout the day. Wed have homework. So how long was the Pathways Academy all together . I think it was about three months or so. I can check. So then after the you have a day of classroom, is what do you spend the rest of the time doing. Studying. Whats that . Studying, yeah. And and so for them we we did quite a few ridealongs as well with paramedics and with fire. So is this Pathways Academy affiliated with the Fire Department . Its i believe its through the city of minneapolis. Just for trying to reach out to city youth within the city. So thats a way of helping you get a job as a firefighter . Yes. Okay. And so then during that time youre doing some ridealongs, youre actually working with the Fire Department . Mmhmm. I actually had a Cardiac Arrest on my first call and first ridealong. That was quite the sight. Before you were even hired as a fire fighter . Before i was hired as a firefighter, before i was an emt. And so then after Pathways Academy, did you have to take a test of some kind . Yes, i got thats when i got my National Registry test finished. Okay. And what describe if you would, describe for the jury what that test is like, how long is it . Yeah. You go through a handson portion and then a Written Portion just to demonstrate that you are prepared for any life safety lifesaving that you might need to take or splinting or, you know, it kind of covers all that have and then the test is really scenariobased, like what what are the first things you need to look at . What are the most important things that you need to address to have the best outcome for the patient . So is it written or is it oh, both. Okay. Both. You mean the written part its fill in the blank. Right. So its its like written part, but is there also like showing that you know how to do certainty procedures. Thats what i was plank before, handson portion. Handson, thank you. So when you say both its written and handson. Several days, yes. So you took that test at the end. Pathways academy program. Yeah, and at the end of and in the middle of my academy for the Fire Department. Okay. And so did you pass . Yes. And so then you obtained a certification . Umhmm. Is that yes . Yes, sir. And what is the certification for . What does that mean you are . I i can theres a range of things i can do. Our role a lot of times is to assist the medics or we get there before the medics so we can, you know, start any basic Wound Bandaging or up, to you know, Starting Compressioned for working cpr right away. Does it also involve assessing a patient and determining what is needed . Correct. Thats the first thing we would do. And then so you were certified as an emt and i guess just for the record what does emt stand for . Emergency medical tech sgligs do you get certification for that . National and state. Is it separate testing . Yeah, i believe its separate testing and we have continuous hours of education that for for for both. And so since your certification youve had to continue taking classes to maintain the certification . Yeah. The Fire Department does continuing education all year round. So then you when you finished Pathways Academy, had you already been hired by the Fire Department, or did that come after . That came about a year after i started the process. And then once you got hired, is that what you obtained the State Certification then . I think i had both all along. The pathways is why i have both. Okay. So as part of this certification you are able to do what we think of as cpr . Right. Hand thats well, explain for the jurors what cpr is when i use that term. So, if we find no pulse, we would i would ask for medical, you know, calling 911. I would want an aed on scene and start compressions. If i had my med bag i would also be giving breaths, but if i didnt, just a rate of 100 compressions a minute. So cpr is the process of trying to resuscitate somebody . Yeah. Were looking to regain a heart rhythm. And heart rhythm is another way of saying essentially a pulse. Correct. You can tell ive not been through the training that you have. You know more about this than we do so thats why im just trying to fill in these terms. Yeah. So incidentally before Pathways Academy had you received some training in cpr before that even . Ia. I did a red cross babysitting. Work as a lifeguard ever . I was a lifeguard. So youve got to know that kind of stuff then, too . I did that quite a few times in my youth. Lets make sure we dont talk over each other. It makes it really hard to have a good record. Yeah, the Court Reporter has to take down everything that were saying so each wait to answer. Yeah. Wait for the question to be done. Ill try to be better about that, too, so so when you start working for the Fire Department, explain, if you would, for the jury, when you go in for your shift, you know, not who are the core persons, not who they are, how many people are at a Fire Department during a shift and how are they divided up . It depends on if youre a single house or a double house. Is there an engine there or an engine and a ladder, and on the engine we have three to four and on the truck we rivaled four. So maybe eight in house and if theres a chief there or not and all emts, and so as a firefighter you mentioned earlier i think you received separate training on Fighting Fires . That makes sense, right . Mmhmm. They are different jobs so in your two years as a firefighter have you gone to fires . Yeah, quite a few with somebody as much time as i have. And have i had to enter buildings that are on fire. Yes, sir. Ant provide i guess recue for people who are in a billing thats on fire. Yes, knife pulled victims out of buildings, and this you to that, when youre for or all the other firefighters that are there, you all Work Together on those calls. If your work as a firefighter, you know, the title obviously makes us think that you fight fires, but you do a lot more than that, correct . Mmhmm. You have to say yes or no. Yeah. The thing to remember is the Court Reporter has to take it all down. Right, sorry. Yes. We we dont often get a fire. I would say, i mean, ive heard kuwait a people give like had a 90 medical calls and then that also depends on which station and which part of the city youre serving. So whatever the the Majority Number of your cases are. Yeah. On the medical calls that youve been working on In Minneapolis, there have opinion times when you have had to provide resuscitation to someone who was hullsless . Many times. Have there been times when youve on on a call and you have had to assess a patients condition and what they might need . Many times. Majority of the time we arrive before the paramedics just based on how many Fire Stations there are in the city, and thats why we respond to medical calls so we can assist them and or be there if they cant be there immediately. So incidentally youve talked about, you know, working at the fire station. Your shift s. Thereto a regular 9 00 to 5 00 job . How are your shifts done . Personally my shifts are 48 hours, so im theres also the option of working 24 hours at a time but im at the fire station for 48 hours and calls in the middle of the night . And then you get a weekend or something. I have four days offal after that. So in your experience how many times like per shift would i say that you have a medical calling involving an unconscious or pulseless person. It really depends on which station youre at. Im at a particularly busy station so it could be anywhere from, you know for pullsless, im in an area where theres a lot of overdosing so anywhere from one to five times in a 24hour period. So dealing with a person who does not have a pulse is fairly common . Yeah. Correct. I want to draw your attention to may 25th of 2020. So at that point you had been working as a firefighter for over a little more than a year . Mmhmm. Is that yes . Yes. And were you in the area of cup foods at 38th and chicago . Yes, sir. And were you working that day . Nope. And, you know, without telling us where you live, you live in that area . Mmhmm. Yes, im in Walking Distance that have area. Okay. And so on that date in the early evening, you know, what were you out doing that you found yourself in that area . I was just going for a walk. I i believe i worked the day before so a lot of times youre just kind of tired and i just wanted to sort of have a peaceful day, so i went on a walk and i sat in a Little Community guarden on 38th for a while and thought it would be dark soon so i decided to go. Were you on foot . Yes. So you approached cup food on chicago . Yes, sir. As you were approaching that area, did something catch your attention . Mmhmm. Its not uncommon to see, you know, lights and things and think that my coworkers are there, so from a distance i figured, you know, it could have been anything, but i figured that fire was there so i so i started walking that direction, and as i got closer there was a woman across the Street Screaming that they were killing him so thats when i was alerted that the situation wasnt a basic medical call. So at some point did you walk through the area where this woman was . Yes. I actually asked her what was going on. And then from there did you notice some police cars in the area . Mmhmm. Yes . Yes, sir. And did you then walk over to that area where the police cars were . I walked police car. I walked kind of in a big circle around the scene just to sort of start to have an idea of what was actually going on. And so you approached this police car where the incident was taking place . Yeah. I came from behind the officers. And im going to show you exhibit 1 on the screen. Okay. It should come up on the screen right in front of you. Okay. Is that in evidence . Yes, its been admitted already. Yes. And this is the intersection of 38th and chicago . Yes. And youll notice in front of you there should be a little stylus like this. Okay. And you can actually draw on the screen with that. Okay. And i would ask you to kind of draw on there for the jury, your approach to this area and where you went until you went over to the squad car. Okay. So the garden was on this side of the street. Im not sure if i walked across or straight, but the woman that i first asked what was going on was just about here, so i made my way around, and i believe i came all the way around this way and i was kind of watching what was going on here and then i made my way around. And then just for the benefit of the record that youre drawing that youre going westbound on 38th and then crossed over to the Dragon Walk Side of 38 and thats where you crossed chicago and crossed 38th to the Speedway Store and then crossed over to the cup food side of chicago. Yes, sir. Your honor, can you erase that all in one fell sloop, and then so when you crossed from the speed war side of the store well, let me do it this way. No, ill back up why did you bother to walk from the Speedway Smid of the store . Because i was concerned to see a handcuffed man what was not moving with officers with their hole body wait on his back and a crowd that it was that was stressed out. This is a video taken from a camera across the street, and im going to show you a shortened version of exhibit 11, all right . Umhmm. Is that yes . Yes. All right. And for the record we are starting this at 8 25. 20 approximately. So do you see that video on the screen . Yes. All right. And does this look like, you know, the area that we are talking about where you went and approached this yes. Im asking to pause it rioux here. Yes, and looking at this, do you see this person that im circling here . Thats myself, and if everybody was seeing you approval from down here, correct . You came this way, is that correct . Correct. So you came from the bottom of this screen and you seem to be holding something into your hand. Do you recall what you were holding . I didnt have anything but my phone i believe or my keys. And so what i would like to do is let this run to show where you were during this incident, so many just keeping an eye on how you are and how you remained at the scene. Oak. Now, if we can pause it right here. And for the record its 8 26. 29. We saw the camera move a little bit. Yes. So for a moment there you were just off screen, correct . Correct. And up until that point you had essentially remained on the sidewalk, correct . Correct. And at that point you stepped off the curb. Did you how far from the curb did you go while you were off the screen . I dont remember. Okay. You didnt leave the area . No. And at that moment you go back up on to the sidewalk, do you remember why you went back up on to the sidewalk . Because the officer controlling the scene was requesting that we stay on the sidewalk, demanding that we stay on the sidewalk. And if you could just take the stylus and circle the officer that youre saying to stay on the sidewalk, and for the record, your honor, the witness is drug a circle around officer thao. And so when he asked you to go back up to the sidewalk, you did. Yes, sir, and a at some point you started a Video Recording with your fun, correct. And weve already dealt with that but as some pont you start recording. Correct. Can we continue. Miss hansen, did you im sorry. Im going to hold off on another question for now. Im going to ask that the video be paused here and for the record at 8 30 25. 26 to be more precise. The video has shown that the ambulance has left with mr. Floyd, and youre Still Standing there on the sidewalk, correct . Correct. So during that time period after you first arrived and went up on the sidewalk there was just that one time that you left the sidewalk and went out into the street, correct . Correct. When you first walked up you told the jury with coming around and approaching. When you first walked up did you observe the officers that were on top of the individual on the ground . Yes. Did you know any of those officers or recognize any of them . Once i was all the way around i recognized chauvins face. Okay. And where did you recognize it from . Its probably a call the day before. I believe it was the shift i had just worked. Did you know him at all . No, sir. Did you talk to him on that previous call . No, sir. I had observed him on that previous call . Did you know his name at that point in time . No, sir. All right. So what did you see about the officers there in relation to the body on the ground . I noticed i noticed that the officers were leaning across his body, and it it appeared to be the majority of their weight on mr. Floyd. And so how many officers did you see over mr. Floyd . In my memory for whatever reason i remember seeing four on his body and we know now that that was three. So when you first walked up, you came around from that side but then you had to go around the other side on to the squad car, direct . Correct. And when you saw that positioning of those officers did that concern you . Absolutely. Why . He wasnt moving and he was cuffed and thats three grown men is a lot of putting weight on somebody. Its too much. And did you notice where this officer you now know to be mr. Chauvin, where he was putting his weight on mr. Floyd . On his neck. And incidentally did you know the person laying on the ground, person on the ground who was handcuffed . No, not no, sir. You subsequently learned his identity . Correct. And. That individual on the ground with the overs, could you tell if he was moving at all . I he was not moving. His face was the first thing that concerned me is his face was like smushed into the ground, swollen appearing, it appeared swollen to me. And, you know, at that point are you acting a little bit as Genevieve Hansen emt . I identified myself right away because i i noticed that he needed medical attention. It didnt take me long to realize that he was that he had an altered level of consciousness, and in our training that is when the first time that somebody needs medical attention, so my attention moved from mr. Floyd to how can i gain access to this patient and give him medical attention or direct the officers and i didnt pay much attention to george floyd after that. So when you first got there and you saw mr. Floyd on the ground, you mentioned about seeing his face, correct . Correct. And incidentally i think in a subsequent interview you had talked about mr. Floyds face facing towards the speedway which is what my memory did and we know thats not right. Now as we sit here today do you remember seeing his face when you were around on the Squad Car Side of him. Yes, sir. So in terms his face when you were first there or even the rest of him, what is it that you saw that made you concerned about his medical needs . I was really can concerned about i thought i his face looked pitch and swollen which would happen if you were putting a grown mans weight on someones neck. I noticed some fluid coming from what hooked like George Floyds body, and in a lot of cases we see a Patient Release their bladder when they die. I cant tell you exactly where the flow was coming from but thats where my mind went. He wasnt moving. He was being retrained but he wasnt moving. When you first arrived, was he vocalizing at all . Was he speaking at all . I dont remember. Okay. And earlier you used the term altered cautiousness. Mmhmm. Is that yes . Yes. And what do you mean by that . What did you see in terms of his consciousness . Well, we. When were assessing a level of cautiousness on a call well often first try to just talk to the patient and see if they respond, and if we dont get a response well often kind of tap him on the shoulder or apply painful stimuli and often i would do a sternal rub or, you know, press their fingernail very hard and if they respond to that we know that, you know, we can assess their level of consciousness based on that. When somebody is laying on you, you,000 know, leaning into your neck thats painful stimuli so i could tell that from the side. Tell what stwh. That he had an altered level of consciousness to the level that he wasnt responding to painful stimuli. You mention that had mr. Chauvin had a knee on mr. Floyds neck. Correct. Did you see where his other leg was . I dont remember anymore, but i think i may have said something about it in previous did you think it was on mr. Floyds back . I dont know. Okay. And in that moment that you first arrived, observed what you could about mr. Floyd, what can you think you needed to do . I i had already assess that had he had an altered level of consciousness. What i need to know is whether or not he had a pulse anymore. Let me back up again. Did you try it assess how much weight mr. Chauvin was putting on george floyd . I at any time try to. I recognized that it was an issue right away because he seemed very comfortable. Who is he . Chauvin, officer chauvin. Okay. Seemed very comfortable with the majority of his weight balanced on top of mr. Floyds neck. In my memory he had his hand in his pocket he looked so comfortable. And and if his hand wasnt actually in his pocket, would that change anything that you assessed at the time . I suppose not. He he was comfortable in the position that he was in . So if his hand instead of being in his pocket was simply resting on his thigh works that change any of your assessment . He wasnt distributing the weight on the car, on the pavement. When you first approached you said you identified yourself as a firefighter. Correct. To whom did you identify yourself . To officer thao. I spoke loudly enough that i think the other three officers would have been able to hear me. And we know you werent let me ask you this way. How did officer thao respond . He said something along the lines of if you really are a minneapolis firefighter, you would know better than to get involved. What did you think of that . First, i was worried that he wasnt going to believe me. And not let me help, and i also thats not right. I mean, thats exactly what i should have done. There was no medical assistance on scene and i got there and i could have given medical assistance. Thats exactly what i should have done. So based on your training and experience and what you had seen, what did you want to do for this person on the ground . Had they let me into the scene, i i already had decided what his level of consciousness was so i would have examined additional help. The i would have wanted someone to call 911 for the paramedics and fire to come. I would have asked someone to run to the gas station and look for any e. D. , and i would have checked his i would have checked his airway. I would have been worried about his a Spinal Cord Injury because he had so much weight on his neck. I would have opened his airway to check for any obstructions, and i would have checked for a pulse, and when i didnt found a pulse, in that was the case, i would have started compressions, and i didnt have my beg so i would have continued compressions. We dont give mouthtomouth anymore so i would have continued compressions at the rate of 100 a minute until help arrived. And by compressions, what do you mean. I would have put my hands stacked my hands and pressed hits chest. Chest compressions. Chest compressions, correct. And whats the point of doing chest compressions. Pumping pumping the blood for somebody thats not doing that themselves, trying to get a pulse back. And were you able to do that, any of those steps . No, sir. Why werent you able to do any of that . Because the officers didnt let me in to the scene. I also offered in my memory i offered to kind of walk them through that or told them if he doesnt have a pulse you need to start compressions, and that wasnt done either. And so when well, is this are these things that you wanted to do . It would its what i would have done for anybody. When you couldnt do that, how did that make you feel . Totally distressed. Were you frustrated . Yes. Miss hansen, you know, as i told you, you can take your time so feel free to just take a minute. If you need a drink of water, go ahead. Okay. While you were there were there other people around you on the sidewalk. Yes. And were they saying things to the officers as well . Yes . And do you remember what kinds of things they were saying . No, i was pretty focused on trying to get the officers to let me help. And how were you doing that, trying to get officers to focus on you and getting help. I think in my memory i tried different tactics of calm and reasoning. I tried to be assertive. I pled and was desperate. Did you also at some point start raising your voice . Yes, sir. And maybe used some foul language even . Yes, sir. Why . Because i was desperate to help and i wasnt getting what i what i needed to do in gaining access. At some point the voices of the other people around you, did you feel that sort of interfered with getting the officers attention . Yes. So as youre doing that, were you able to pay more attention to mr. Floyd and his condition . I wasnt i wasnt really able to. I knew he needed help so at that point it was just getting in there.
