(Reuters) - The jury in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, charged with the murder of George Floyd, heard testimony on Wednesday from several investigators who handled evidence in the case and a national use-of-force expert.

Chauvin, who is white, pressed his knee into the neck of Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man in handcuffs, for about nine minutes on May 25, 2020, a scene that ignited global protests against police brutality.
