Welcome to the lead I'm Jake Tapper and we begin today with our national lead.

We expect the trial to resume imminently in Minneapolis where the prosecution is laying

at its case against former police officer Derek Chauvin calling witness after witness

today, who watched George Floyd die last May as Chauvin kneeled on his neck for almost

10 minutes.

One witness we heard from today, a 17-year-old, seeing here on the right, taking her young

cousin to get a snack from a neighborhood store when they walked by the distressing

scene.

She recorded the video, seen around the world of Floyd's final moments on Earth pleading

for help crying out to his mother, saying he could not breathe.

That witness testified today that Chauvin ignored pleas from the crowd to check for a pulse

from even an off-duty firefighter.

She was not shown on camera today because she's a minor, but listened to how seeing Mr.

Floyd die has affected her life.

It's the nights I stayed up apologizing and apologizing to George Floyd for not doing

more and not physically interacting and not saving his life, but it's like it's not what

I should have done, it's what he should have done.

That witness's young cousin, just nine 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 CNN's Omar Jimenez reports.

Good morning, members of the jury.

The story of what happened May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis, till today, through the lens of eyewitnesses.
