Derek Chauvin's defence team is focusing on George Floyd's drug addiction, at Chauvin's murder trial in Minneapolis

Floyd's girlfriend Courtney Ross broke down on the witness stand several times, as she spoke about the couple's opoid addictions.
She told the court she believed George Floyd had started using drugs again two weeks prior to his death, when his behaviour started to change.
The defence argues George Floyd wasn't murdered by former police officer Derek Chauvin, but died because of drug overdose and pre-existing health issues.
