On Tuesday, a jury found Minneapolis police officer
Derek Chauvin guilty on all 3 counts of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and 2nd-degree manslaughter for the death of
George Floyd. Chauvin faces a maximum of 40 years in prison.
Chauvin’s conviction resonated globally, with foreign dignitaries and community leaders reacting to a verdict across social media. The verdict highlights the ongoing national conversation about police reform and racial inequality in justice systems globally.
Floyd, a Black man, died on Memorial Day after Chauvin, who is white, pinned his knee against Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes as Floyd cried out for his mother and said “I can’t breathe” more than 20 times.
