MMA fighter tells Derek Chauvin trial he ‘believed he witnessed murder’ of George Floyd

A mixed martial arts fighter testifying at Derek Chauvin’s trial told the court that he called 911 about the former cop kneeling on George Floyd’s neck because he believed he ‘witnessed a murder’.

Donald Winn Williams II, the prosecution’s third witness who had yelled at Chauvin to check for a pulse and accused him of placing Floyd in what he called a ‘kill choke’, resumed his testimony on Tuesday morning after it was cut short on Monday.

Under questioning from Minnesota Assistant Attorney General Matthew Frank, Williams described how Chauvin continued to press his knee into Floyd’s neck as paramedics struggled to find a pulse.

He revealed that he called the police in the aftermath of the scene that he described in horrific detail because he said: ‘I believed I had just witnessed a murder. I felt the need to call the police on the police.’

Williams began to cry as jurors were played audio of the 911 call he placed as he stood outside Cup Foods on May 25, 2020, in which he named officer 987 and said: ‘He just pretty much killed this guy. He wasn’t resisting arrest. He had his knee on his neck. He wasn’t resisting arrest or nothing, he was handcuffed.’
