In witness testimony on March 31, former Cup Foods employee Christopher Martin described the night George Floyd died. “I saw Derek’s knee on George’s neck on the ground,” Martin said to prosecutors. “George was motionless, limp.”When Martin first saw the events outside the store, he testified, he called his mother to tell her not to come down from their home above Cup Foods. He said that because paramedics were taking the long way to the hospital, that had indicated to him that Floyd had died. The clerk expressed regret Wednesday for a death he said he believes stemmed from their exchange inside the store.
