The second prosecution witness has concluded her testimony in the trial of Derek Chauvin. 

Alisha Oyler shot seven video clips of Floyd’s arrest. She was working the cash register at a Speedway, located across the street from where the arrest took place.

On cross examination Oyler acknowledged that more people were gathering as the incident progressed and the crowd became angry.

Defense attorney Eric Nelson also pointed out a discrepancy between her testimony and an earlier statement she gave to investigators where she said there was a female officer on scene.

On redirect examination, she told prosecutor Steve Schleicher that Floyd was not resisting when officers brought him across the street. 

Witness testifies she recorded 7 videos of Floyd arrest

Witness Alisha Oyler testified that she recorded seven cell phone videos of George Floyd’s interaction with Minneapolis officers.

She was working the cash register at a Speedway when she noticed police “messing” with Floyd near a store across the way.

Oyler testified that Floyd was in handcuffs and police eventually placed him inside a police car.

Soon after, she started recorded with her cell phone. Two of the seven videos she recorded were taken from inside her workplace. The rest of the videos were taken outside.

A 911 dispatcher was the first witness in today’s trial. Here’s how she laid out the sequence of events.

Minneapolis 911 dispatcher Jena Scurry concluded her testimony earlier this afternoon in the trial of former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin. 

She dispatched Chauvin and other officers to Cup Foods the day George Floyd died.

During cross examination defense attorney Eric Nelson questioned her about how the dispatch center is setup and the sequence of events that evening.    

Here are some key things she shared:

• Squad car 320 responded to the call at Cup Foods backed up by car 330 and park police car 830.
• Scurry noted that officers Thomas Lane and Alexander Kueng were in squad car 320 and were backed up by officers Chauvin and Tou Thao in squad car 330.
• Scurry said she dispatched the additional officers for backup when Lane and Kueng said they were taking someone out of the police car and she heard a loud noise on the radio. 
• To the defense, Scurry noted that at one point squad car 330, either Chauvin or Thao, called for a faster ambulance response.
• Scurry said she is not familiar with the use of force requirements and did not hear any radio call for a sergeant to review the use of force.
• She reviewed the video for the defense and noted that it showed the police car rocking back and forth when officers were struggling with Floyd. 
• She noted she did not hear any audio from that camera. 

On redirect examination, Scurry told prosecutor Matthew Frank she has not changed her mind about seeing potential excessive force which motivated her to call a police sergeant. 

Earlier in her testimony, Scurry said that while watching footage of the arrest and Floyd on the ground, her instincts were telling her “that something’s wrong, something is not right.”
