Former officer Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd for 9 minutes and 29 seconds – not the infamous 8:46

CNN  

CNN — Former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd for 9 minutes and 29 seconds, prosecutors said Monday, correcting the 8:46 timing that has become a symbol of police brutality. In opening statements of Chauvin’s criminal trial, prosecuting attorney Jerry Blackwell repeatedly emphasized the new 9:29 timing, telling jurors they were the “three most important numbers in this case.” He broke down the timing of Chauvin’s kneeling into three sections: 4 minutes and 45 seconds as Floyd cried out for help, 53 seconds as Floyd flailed due to seizures and 3 minutes and 51 seconds as Floyd was non-responsive.

In June, weeks after the initial complaint, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office told CNN that Chauvin actually had his knee on Floyd for 7 minutes and 46 seconds.
