The woman who recorded Derek Chauvin as he knelt on George Floyd’s neck in a video that challenged the initial police narrative and brought a wave of attention to the death of Mr. Floyd began to testify on Tuesday morning.

Darnella Frazier was just 17 when she recorded the cellphone video in May and uploaded it to Facebook, igniting international protests over racism and police abuse. Ms. Frazier just turned 18, and she has largely stayed out of the spotlight since Mr. Floyd’s death, though she wrote on Facebook and Instagram earlier this month that Mr. Chauvin “deserves to go down” and wondered aloud “what else got covered up if it was no evidence.”

Teen who shot Floyd video says he was ‘begging for his life’

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The teenager who shot the harrowing video of George Floyd under the knee of the Minneapolis police officer now charged in his death testified Tuesday that she began recording because “it wasn’t right, he was suffering, he was in pain.”

Darnella Frazier, 18, said she was walking to a convenience store with her younger cousin when she came upon the officers, and sent the girl into the store because she didn’t want her to see “a man terrified, scared, begging for his life.”
