He testified that Floyd's SUV and the squad car at the scene were processed on May 27 by the BCA Crime Scene team.
Reyerson states Dragon Wok, located across the street from Cup Foods, did not want to give their own footage from their viewpoint of the incident. A warrant was issued by the BCA to obtain that footage.
Reyerson was asked if it's typical for a BCA agent to attend the autopsy, He responded "yes," but added they couldn't in this case because of COVID-19 restrictions.
Reyerson says the prosecution requested Floyd's vehicle be re-processed "with a particular focus on additional few specific items to include a potential pill." This was in Dec. 2020. #DerekChauvinTrial

The state wraps up their questioning. The defense takes over.
"It's fair to say that the BCA's investigation into this case was fairly extensive," Nelson asked the BCA agent.
"Yes," Reyerson responded.
Reyerson said there were about 200 citizen witnesses interviewed. He also confirmed that 440 individual police reports were written and submitted regarding the case.
Nelson: And I just want to make sure you're not suggesting that the defense somehow put the pieces of pills into that squad car.
Reyerson: No sir, I'm not suggesting that. https://t.co/62M5c14gLL

Reyerson said he heard Floyd say in one of the body camera's footage, "I took too many drugs." This is a different answer heard from Sgt. Stiger earlier this morning.
The defense believes the liquid seen coming from under the car is condensation from the vehicle.
Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Jody Stiger finished his testimony Wednesday morning during the Derek Chauvin trial and BCA Senior Special Agent James Reyerson will resume his spot on the witness stand when the court is back in session.
Judge Peter Cahill says the court will reconvene at 1:15 p.m. after a lunch break.
Questioning from the state and defense continue to focus on the use of force during the incident on May 25, 2020.
