Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on April 15 invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and declined to testify in his trial in the death of George Floyd.
Chauvin took a microphone and was asked by his lawyer, Eric Nelson, if he understood that he had a right not to take the stand.
