MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) All eyes are on the court proceedings involving four former Minneapolis police officers, now charged in George Floyd’s death.

Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill was assigned to the case. Former Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty appointed Cahill to the bench in 2007. Voters then elected him twice more.
