The trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin, charged in the death of Floyd, is in its third day. 

On Wednesday the convenience store clerk who received a counterfeit $20 bill from Floyd broke down on the stand, saying he watched with “disbelief and guilt” the events that led to Floyd’s death. “If I would’ve just not taken the bill, this could’ve been avoided,” The 19-year-old Christopher Martin said on the stand.
