Did Floyd and Chauvin know each other at nightclub? Will they subpoena club staff?
Early on it was mentioned that they both worked at the same nightclub. In this story, a coworker had some interesting things to say about that...but he later recanted.
Was it possibly premeditated murder?
If they put coworkers under oath, I’ll be satisfied, but if not..? Seems like a glaring omission.

Pinney also described working with both men and said Floyd didn't want to interact with Chauvin because of Chauvin's aggressive behavior.
"…..he always showed aggression to, you know, George. So George, to keep it professional, George had me intervene and – interface with him instead of himself, just to be – just to get away from the conflict and keep it professional."
Pinney also said: "I can relate to George, how he felt. And I think that's what makes that personal bond between him and I, dealing with Derek."
CBS News has confirmed that as part of the investigation, investigators are looking at whether the two men knew each other, and if so, what the relationship was. ...
Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder. The Floyd family says they believe what happened on May 25 was in part personal. Their lawyer has previously called for Chauvin to be charged with first-degree murder, "because we believe he knew who George Floyd was."
