MINNEAPOLIS: George Floyd's girlfriend took the witness stand on Thursday and described their relationship, from a first kiss to date nights at restaurants, but also spoke about how an addiction to painkillers took hold of their life together.
The death of Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, set off protests across the United States and around the world over racial injustice and police brutality against black people. Nelson seemed to acknowledge the sensitivity when he stood up to cross-examine Ross:"I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with opioid addiction," he began."Thank you for sharing that with the jury."
They had their first kiss in the lobby that night and except an occasional break were together until his death, she said.They took walks in the parks and around the lakes of Ross's native Minneapolis, which was still new to the Texas-raised Floyd, and dined out often:"He was a big man," she said, describing his daily weightlifting,"and it look a lot of energy to keep him going".
