MINNEAPOLIS (AP) A judge on Wednesday dismissed a juror who had been seated for the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer in George Floyd’s death over fears that the juror had been tainted by the city’s announcement last week of a $27 million settlement to Floyd’s family.
Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill recalled seven jurors and was questioning each one, in turn, to find out what they knew about the settlement and whether it affected their ability to serve. Former officer Derek Chauvin’s attorney, Eric Nelson, had requested the recall.
The juror said he had heard about the settlement. “I think it will be hard to be impartial,” he said.
