Witness Describes Seeing George Floyd ‘Slowly Fade Away’

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A man who was among onlookers shouting at a Minneapolis police officer to get off George Floyd last May returns to the stand on Tuesday, a day after he described seeing Floyd struggle for air and his eyes rolling back into his head, saying he saw Floyd “slowly fade away ... like a fish in a bag.” Donald Williams, a former wrestler who said he was trained in mixed martial arts including chokeholds, testified Monday that he thought Derek Chauvin used a shimmying motion several times to increase the pressure on Floyd. Before Williams testified, prosecutors led off their case by playing portions of a widely seen bystander video of Floyd's arrest that sent waves of outrage and anger around the globe.
