Derek Chavin at the conclusion of his trial
The juror, identified as Brandon Mitchell, had told the judge that he had no knowledge of the George Floyd case before being summoned for jury duty.
On April 20, 2021, a jury convicted former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin of murdering George Floyd. Chauvin was found guilty on all counts in Floyd s death, an incident that sparked worldwide protests against police brutality.
Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after he was arrested by police on suspicion of passing a counterfeit $20 bill. Video footage showed Chauvin kneeling over the 46-year-old African-American man s neck for more than nine minutes.
