It's heartbreaking, listening to these young girls testifying about watching George Floyd die

And like everyone else who was there, feeling absolutely helpless to do anything to help him. I can't even begin to imagine how this will affect them, for the rest of their lives.

She must have been a wreck because Chauvin's attorney didn't even bother to question her with his same line of "you don't know what happened before you got there" stuff. Tough case for that attorney.
