Derek Chauvin George Floyd murder trial: EMT witness told off by judge for arguing

An off-duty Minneapolis firefighter and paramedic was admonished by the judge while testifying at Derek Chauvin's murder trial today after she repeatedly interrupted and talked back to the defense attorney during cross examination.

Genevieve Hansen, 27, wiped away tears in court on Tuesday as she recalled how she had identified herself as a first responder and begged to help George Floyd when she believed he was dying outside the Cup Foods store in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020.

But soon after Hansen's demeanor changed as she was cross examined by Chauvin's attorney Eric Nelson, who asked if she would describe bystanders at the scene of Floyd's arrest as upset or angry. Hansen replied: 'I don't know if you've seen anybody be killed, but it's upsetting.' At this point Judge Peter Cahill stepped in and cautioned Hansen for being argumentative, instructing her to 'just answer his questions.'
