(Reuters) -The jury in the murder trial of former Minneapolis policeman Derek Chauvin heard testimony on Thursday from George Floyd's girlfriend who told of how the couple struggled with addition, and a retired police sergeant who said that Chauvin told him that Floyd was combative and went "crazy" on the night he died.

Chauvin, who is white, had been pressing his knee into the neck of Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man in handcuffs, for about nine minutes, a scene that ignited global protests against police brutality.
