Derek Chauvin trial: George Floyd's girlfriend tells of first kiss and addiction
BBC ^ | April 1 | BBC

What did Floyd's girlfriend say?

Ms Ross is the first person to testify who personally knew Mr Floyd.

She told the court that she met Mr Floyd in 2017 in the lobby of a Salvation Army homeless shelter, where he worked as a security guard and she was waiting to see the father of her son. She said Mr Floyd asked if she would pray with him.

"It was so sweet and at the time I had lost a lot of faith in God," she said, adding that they kissed that night.

She said their first meeting was "one of my favourite stories to tell".

Ms Ross said they both suffered from chronic pain, and were addicted to opioids.

"Addiction, in my opinion, is a lifelong struggle," she said. "It's not something that comes and goes, it's something I'll deal with forever."

She did not specifically address whether Mr Floyd was using opioids on the day he died.

A statement from Floyd family lawyers Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci denounced "defence attempts to construct the narrative that George Floyd's cause of death was the Fentanyl in his system".

"We want to remind the world who witnessed his death on video that George was walking, talking, laughing, and breathing just fine before Derek Chauvin held his knee to George's neck, blocking his ability to breathe and extinguishing his life," it said.

I wonder what her cut of the 27 Million was, considering she's trying to double dip.

Did she mention the pile driver in the back seat before he got around to the kiss?

Not true by the very video the lawyers are citing. George was complaining of breathing in his car, in the police car, on the street between the two, and before he hit the ground. Just like he was complaining in the arrest records form the last time they had him.

“We want to remind the world who witnessed his death on video that George was walking, talking, laughing, and breathing just fine before Derek Chauvin held his knee to George’s neck”

There’s body cam footage that proves that to be a lie, beyond all reasonable doubt.

And the guy who was in Floyd’s car gave the cops a false name and took off. They had three FELONY arrest warrants out on him. They caught him. Think he’s out on bail.

With Floyd's lips, that was sure to have been a memorable kiss.

I remember it so well. The po-po were behind us with their lights flashing and Georgey leaned over for this romantic kiss-what I thought to be his tongue turned out to be a gallon-sized ziplock bag and he uttered these words: โ€œHere baby, hide this bag of fentanyl in your mouth for me.โ€
