Derek Chauvin is on trial for George Floyd’s loss of life: Reside protection

Courteney Ross, George Floyd’s girlfriend, testified that in March 2020, Floyd was hospitalized for an overdose.

Responding to questions from protection legal professional Eric Nelson, Ross stated she picked Floyd up one night time to take him to work, however he did not really feel properly, so she took him to the hospital as a substitute.

“I believed I used to be taking him to work. He wasn’t feeling good. His abdomen actually damage. He was doubled over in ache. Simply wasn’t feeling properly, and he stated he needed to go to the hospital, so I took him straight to the hospital. We went to the ER, they usually have been checking him out within the ER, and it was getting late. And I needed to go to work myself that Friday night time,” she stated.

“You later discovered that that was because of an overdose?” Nelson requested.

“Sure,” Ross responded

Nelson then requested Ross if she discovered what triggered the overdose. She stated she didn’t.

This is how the remainder of the change occurred:

Prosecutors have been the primary to ask about opioid use throughout the trial to get forward of among the protection staff’s arguments. Protection attorneys plan to make the case that Floyd died of unrelated medical points and drug use.
