https://www.afinalwarning.com/511551.html (Natural News) Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty on Tuesday on all three counts in the death of George Floyd last May.
Chauvin was charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter for kneeling on Floyd’s back and neck areas for nearly nine minutes, pinning him to the pavement after he resisted arrest. Prosecutors and the defense gave their closing arguments on Monday, sending the case to the 12 jurors.
“Prosecutors didn’t have to prove Chauvin’s restraint was the sole cause of Floyd’s death, but only that his conduct was a ‘substantial causal factor.’ Chauvin is authorized to use force as a police officer, as long as that force is reasonable,” said the Associated Press in an explainer.
