Genevieve Hansen, 27, is a medical assistant who had been ignored purposefully when she tried to provide life-saving procedures to George Floyd who needed immediate attention.

She refused to believe Nelson, stating that medics had arrived on the scene and pointed out that she called Officer Thao a “b**ch.” The judge tells Hansen “You will not argue with the court, you will not argue with the counsel. Answer the questions, do not volunteer information that is not requested.”

The trial is a difficult one, being questioned by Attorney General Matthew Frank, she puts her foot on the ground saying that she should have refuted in a quicker manner. “There was no medical assistance on the scene and I could have given [it],” despite Nelson’s claims of calling parademics five minutes before she arrived.

Testifying to the court, she tells them that Floyd had lay unresponsive beneath Chauvin’s knee, “[he] seemed very comfortable with the majority of his weight balanced on top of Mr. Floyd’s neck.”

Hansen is a qualified EMT and had the opportunity to jump in, except Theo had restrained her from doing her job. She had assessed (from what she could see at the time) that there was an “altered level of consciousness” that concerned her.

“He wasn’t moving. He was restrained but he wasn’t moving.” At the moment, she felt helpless. Every human has the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but Floyd was denied access to the rights of his life.

She herself had recorded what was going on during the scene, telling the operator “I literally just watched police offices not take a pulse and not to do anything to save a man and I am a first responder myself and I literally have it on video.”

The cross-examination interrogates Hansen, Nelson claiming that she would have been distracted from her job if there were a threatening crowd telling her that she was doing it wrong. Hansen bites back, “I know my job, I’m confident in doing my job and there’s nothing anybody can do to disturb me.”

When stating that the paramedics had arrived five minutes before her, she snaps back with “I don’t believe that.”

She was infuriated after the scene concludes, telling the court, “I got quite angry after Mr Floyd was loaded into the ambulance and there was no point in trying to reason with them anymore because they had just killed somebody.”

The court dismissed the jury, telling Hansen to come back and finish her testimony on Wednesday.
