(CNN) A judge in Minneapolis Friday rejected defense motions to postpone and relocate Derek Chauvin's murder trial in the death of George Floyd. Separately, the judge ruled to allow limited evidence from 2019 encounter between Floyd and the police. Attorney Eric Nelson asked Judge Cahill to move and delay the trial in light of the publicity. In 2019 Floyd was taken to the hospital and not jail. Prosecutors said the incidents were quite different, noting that in 2019 Floyd was not forced into a police vehicle, officers got him medical help and he survived the arrest.
