Black community reacts to Chauvin s guilty verdicts
Many in the Black community are praising the jury s decision to find Derek Chauvin guilty on all three counts he faced. Author: Peggy Lee Updated: 8:54 PM EDT April 20, 2021
SCRANTON, Pa. Millions were watching as the verdicts were read against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
Among them, the leaders of the local and statewide NAACP.
“It is absolutely appropriate that he was found guilty on all three counts. I mean, we witnessed the breath leave the body of George Floyd,” said Kenneth Huston, the president of the Pennsylvania chapter of the NAACP.
“The evidence was insurmountable, the witnesses, the testimony, I think, just looking at it, there was no other verdict,” added Jimel Calliste, the president of the Wilkes-Barre chapter of the NAACP.
