Star tribune this morning reads simply, convicted. For his family, that conviction sends a powerful message about the need for lasting change. Im not just fighting for george anymore. Im fighting for everybody around this world. As the late dr. Martin luther king jr. Told all of us decades ago, justice for black people will not flow into society merely from court decisions. And you heard over and over yesterday following this verdict, this moment is where the work begins. Former Minneapolis Police chief Derek Chauvin faces up to 40 years in prison. He was found guilty of seconddegree unintentional murder, thirddegree murder and seconddegree manslaughter. And after the verdict was read he was handcuffed and escorted to a minnesota prison where hell await sentencing that will come in eight weeks. Lets begin this hour with our guest. Adrienne broaddus joins us in minneapolis. Lets start there. Explain what happens now. Well, its a big waiting game, but i do want to let you and our viewers know, Derek Chauvin spent a great deal of his career putting people in jail. And today he is in prison. And weve learned hes on whats called administrative segregation. And thats for his safety. That means hes in a unit all alone. He is segregated from the general population. And this is the states most secure unit. He will remain there as we wait for the next steps. You asked about the next steps. Lets take a look. The floyd family has gotten used to waiting, and the wait continues. Judge cahill will determine those Sentencing Charges in about eight weeks. And the judge will use the state guidelines to consider the prosecutors motion for increase in sentence due to certain factors. You ask, what are those certain factors . Were talking about aggravating factors. For example, floyd was particularly vulnerable. Floyd was treated with particularly cruelty. Chauvin abused his position of authority, and chauvin committed the crimes as part of a group of three or more offenders. And children were present when the crime was committed. We heard from some of those children during the first week of the trial as they testified. Today we heard from George Floyds brother. And he says he doesnt want this to happen to any other family again. Listen in. What happened to my brother, it was a crime. He was tortured to death. I dont want any more George Floyds. I dont want there to be any more Daunte Wrights or ahmaud arberys. We should be able to go, walk free and not be killed because of the shade of our skin color. And we are here, so many believe, because of the courage Darnella Frazier showed that memorial day when she started filming with her cell phone. Jim and poppy . This was caught on tape and had tremendous impact here. We know President Biden was watching the verdict as it was delivered in the white house. He is now hoping the guilty verdict could help propel the nation towards Policing Reform. Heres what he told the floyd family in the moments just after the verdict. Feel better now. Nothing is going to make it all better but at least theres some justice. Were going to get a lot more done. Were going to do a lot. Were going to get it done. So lets talk about what it takes to get it done. Jeremy diamond is at the white house. Thats clearly the president s hope. Theres a lot of reporting, even from some senior democratic aides that this verdict may actually lessen the urgency among some in congress to get it done. Yeah, that certainly is a question and something on the minds of lawmakers on capitol hill as well as white house officials here. But either way, President Biden made very clear yesterday that he certainly hopes to use this verdict as an opportunity to move towards more systemic change. We saw the president holding these two ideas in his hands at the same time yesterday as he was speaking about what he called murder in the full light of day. He talked about the fact that on the one hand, this was some measure of accountability. Some measure of justice. But these verdicts are too rare. And that is why he is talking about the fact that this case could be a giant step forward on the long march toward justice. We heard him specifically call for congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in policing act which the house has already passed along party lines with democrats supporting that measure in the senate. That hasnt gone up for a vote yet but the white house is using this moment to try and push for the senate to take that up. We also heard from the Vice President kamala harris. Not only the first woman to be Vice President but the first black person to be Vice President. And that was notable. For her to be able to speak to this moment as the only Vice President to ever be a person of color. Listen to what she said yesterday as she talked about feeling the sigh of relief. She talked about the fact that this was a measure of justice but not the same as equal justice and that all americans ultimately need to be involved in the push for change. Heres the truth about racial injustice. It is not just a Black America Problem or a people of color problem. It is a problem for every american. It is keeping us from fulfilling the promise of liberty and justice for all. And it is holding our nation back from realizing our full potential. And that George Floyd Justice in policing act would ban chokeholds, ban noknock warrants and take a number of other steps to institute a National Police misconduct registry. That is now a top focus for the white house, pushing that legislation in the senate. Jim, poppy . Jeremy, thank you. Lets bring in joey jackson, a Criminal Defense Attorney and laura jarrett, anchor of early start and former Litigation Attorney as well. Laura, let me begin with you on the sentencing here actually because its notable that these aggravating factors could play to a higher sentence for chauvin and the prosecution made it clear in the two memos during the course of all of this, that they believed because of these factors that adrienne just outlined, he deserves an even higher sentence. What could that mean . I think its really important that folks temper expectations on what chauvin is realistically facing here in terms of sentencing. We talk about 40 years. That is a maximum under the statute. He is not going to serve anywhere close to that. Hes likely facing somewhere more in the range of 12 to 15 years. And the reason for that is because you use the Sentencing Guidelines. And you look at those Sentencing Guidelines you say, okay, lets look at the fact that he doesnt have any criminal history and when it comes to the law, that makes a big difference. So thats why hes going to be sentenced somewhere in the range closer to 12 to 15. Those aggravating factors, they matter. And the judge may apply them. He may not. Weve seen a lot of rulings in this case where the judge didnt side for the prosecution. He may not on the aggravating factors here. Really important to realize, say we start with those 12 1 2 years, what hes facing for the top charge, murder in the second degree. And he has all those other two charges. Hes going to be serving them concurrently which means all of the time is served together. So its not as if he faces, you know, block to block to block of years there. Hes going to be facing just one chunk of time for those three charges. Yeah, the guidelines, i believe, point to 12 1 2 years or 150 months based on having zero convictions in the past. Joey jackson, youve been involved in a lot of trials here. Chauvin chose the judge rather than the jury to do this on the expectation that a judge would be potentially less emotional, right . Follow those guidelines to a t. Based on what we know about aggravating factors and how they influence sentences, for instance, the fact that children were present, that he abused his position of authority, these are among those aggravating factors. How do you see the math coming together here . Good morning to you, jim, poppy and laura. I see the math coming together in a very compelling way. I think laura is right with regard to tempering expectations. However, in the event the judge does his duty, and i think he will. This Jury Spoke Volumes as to what they believe. They spoke volumes as to what conduct they observed. And they punished that conduct. They punished the excessive force. We saw that with the assault they concluded which led to the death. They punished the lack of humanity that chauvin had with regard to dealing with george floyd. How could you said the jury. In addition to that, they punished the fact there are all types of rules, regulations, policies and procedures, all of which were violated. Lets remember the chief who came in there and said the sanctity of life is everything. These are not our values. Lets remember zimmerman, the seniormost officer who came in and said we dont do this. I bring these up because theyre relevant to your question. Since this jury spoke, the judge now has to speak. And i think those aggravating factors play out in a very significant way. There were children around saying stop. You know, many testified. One saying, who is 9, saying i was so sad and so mad because i couldnt do anything. What else . He was particularly vulnerable. That is george floyd. Hes laying in a prone position face down, right . Chest down. Hes in handcuffs and you treat him like that . What else . You were particularly cruel with respect to your dealings with him. There were three other officers there who could assist you in that regard and thats an aggravating factor. And finally, you abuse your position of trust and authority. And so, again, while we dont know what a judge will do, judges carry the weight. Its the judges decision alone. I think this judge has every reason to give this particular defendant the statutory maximum because of those aggravating factors which were very present here. Laura, lets not forget what this follows in the state of minnesota, right . In the last five years, we have their images. These are four black men who have been killed at the hands of police. Their names are travis jordan, thurman belvins, philando castille, demarr clark. And all of those Police Officers face no charges or acquittal in the case of castille. You can understand it when the Minnesota Governor Tim Walz says this last night to anderson. When you were asking folks what they expected of this. If you asked white minnesotans, they thought it would be an absolute conviction. If you asked black minnesotans, they would have said it wouldnt. That has been laid bare to the world, and i think for many of us, its a feeling like, okay, this happened. Now the work really begins. Right . And it is the work begins. And the sentencing is incredibly important in that. Not just the verdict. It is because it goes to what i think youre hearing more and more these days, which is about accountability and not about justice. The idea of being here. That george floyd is gone. His family can never get him back. There is no justice in this case. Thats what i think you heard from keith ellison, the Attorney General, yesterday trying to convey that sentiment. It doesnt believe the officer who did it shouldnt be held accountable. And thats what the jury has done here. But i think its about more than just one case. And thats why im interested to see what is the Justice Department do here . We know that Merrick Garland is going to speak later this morning. We dont know what hell say, but we also know that the prior Attorney General had considered opening a pattern and practice investigation. You mentioned the four other people in minnesota. The question, is there something more systemic going on here that the Justice Department should look at beyond just individual cases and officers. Is there something unconstitutional in the way that theyre doing this . Which is what they did in chicago. The question is, what actually changed, even when they implemented rules, et cetera. Joey, do you see a pattern here that the Justice Department could delve into and remedy . I see a lot here. The first thing is just speaking to the verdict itself, i think its important about the Deterrent Effect this sends. This is a shock wave to anyone wearing a badge. Look, people are out there. Law enforcement officials, god bless them, they are serving us with dignity every day. To those who transgress, the Justice Department will look into that and do something about it. Its about time. Well see if congress does. Laura jarrett, joey jackson, thanks to both of you. This morning, new tensions, new questions over another policeinvolved shooting that happened remarkably just moments before the Chauvin Verdict came down. This time in columbus, ohio. We should note the circumstances very different from the floyd killing. In this case, a Police Officer shot and killed 16yearold Makiyah Bryant. This after police claim she was trying to cut two other people and the video does show her holding a knife at the time of the shooting. Right. Its notable that this video was released just hours after she was shot and killed. It shows the Officer Firing four shots at Makiyah Bryant as she appears to lunge with a knife in her hand at another young woman. Obviously, i want to warn you its disturbing. Here it is. Hey. Whats going on . Whats going on . Hey hey get down. Get down get down [ gunshots ] [ bleep ]. The officer involved in this, the one who fired the four shots, has been placed on leave. City officials are pleading with the public to be patient during the investigation. Ryan young is in columbus this morning. What can you tell us . Obviously, this is a tough story, guys. You think about this. A 16yearold being shot and killed. So many questions about this. And to note that video being put out so soon, that might be because of social media making such a narrative and pushing this so hard that police felt like they had to release some of the video. The body camera sort of showing the position that the Police Officer was in. If we show the video when you slow it down, you can actually see a knife. What were told, that Police Officer saw that knife being raised toward another person during that fight and felt like he had to save and protect that other life. Now this, obviously, became another hashtag moment across the country. People started protesting. The mayor and City Officials started making quick progress to make statements about this and releasing that video. But take a listen to a witness who has had a chance to change their mind about what happened. They were talking on new day today about what they saw in this video. I think its a little bit different than the other instances weve seen in these Police Shootings in that it appears as though makiyah was in the process of trying to stab a teenager. And that could have led to the death of a teenager. So i really wish these young people would think twice before they do things and they would learn better skills for handling conflict resolution. Jim and poppy, makiyah, 16 years old. Shes the one who called police because there was word that she was being jumped by the two other teenagers. But when the officer arrived, he saw that knife going up, according to police, and then he opened fire. Now that officer has been put on paid administrative leave as this investigation continues. But thats standard in any policeinvolved shooting. So many questions about policing in america. You can understand the sensitivity in this. But you obviously can understand why an officer would want to save another life as well. Ryan, youve looked at this video. The video does show a knife in the hand of the victim here, does it not . It does. And, of course, its not the clearest video ever, but it does look like that knife is going backwards when that officer is firing. Understood. Ryan, thank you. Well, what a moment for the family of george floyd with accountability served. But now what . Now is when the work begins. Will it actually mean meaningful change . One of his Family Members joins us. Also, as ryan just talked about, policing in america, what conversations are happening right now in Police Departments across the country . And will congress act . And is the u. S. On the verge of a Tipping Point when it comes to getting all americans, or close to all americans vaccinated . Why those efforts might face a challenge or two. Well have an update.

Today they wake up to accountability with convictions on all three charges against exofficer Derek Chauvin. But that does not change the fact, of course, that their beloved brother, father and cousin is gone, taken from them far too soon. Were joined by George Floyds cousin, tara brown, also director of the george floyd foundation. Great to have you back on the program. Thank you for having me. When we spoke last week, you told me that you were hopeful. You were hopeful the trial and the verdict would bring positive change. And i wonder this morning as you wake up, digesting this news, do you feel the same way . And what kind of change . I do still feel the same way. You know, having that conviction and having him all three guilty on all three was we didnt expect that. So that was like a huge victory. And, obviously, another layer of justice that we have been asking for since this whole journey started. But we do know that theres still work to be done because unless there is change, this is going to continue. Accountability is exactly what we have gotten. But it wont it sends a message, but we also need to have the laws change so were going to continue our efforts to get the george floyd Policing Reform act passed for at the federal level and hopefully the state level as well. Tara, i was so struck listening to courteney ross. She called him floyd. Floyds girlfriend. And what she told our Miguel Marquez yesterday just moments before the verdict came down. Listen to this. Its a first step in a long road to recovery. We have a lot of work to do in minneapolis, but i believe floyd came here for a reason. This is a sacred, sacred land. And we need to start respecting that again. And i know that that is what he would want. Shes hopeful. Hopeful for that change you were just calling for. What do you think your cousin would think of this moment and this movement . I think that hes probably very proud of the efforts that weve put in to this. Hes probably very proud of i know hes proud of, you know, this victory that were able to celebrate on yesterday. I can see him, you know, smiling down on us and just being very, very proud of us. Tara, Derek Chauvin chose not to speak in his own defense in the trial. And this is a difficult question, but i wonder, if you had the opportunity to speak to him, what would you say . Thats a good question. And i guess i really had not even considered what i would say to him or to have questions for him because just being able to from different times ive been in the courtroom and observing him, i really didnt observe much emotion or remorse or anything. So i dont expect to get anything from him, even if i had questions. So i dont think there would be an answer that would satisfy the hurt and the pain that ive suffered from this. So i dont really have a question. I dont have any questions i would ask him. I dont think so. You just talked about congress and acting. I know you want them to act and the act, the legislation is right before them. Do you believe they will . I believe that it is possible. I know that right now, this movement has momentum, and i think if we continue to push for this and, you know, really hold our local leaders, as well as our politicians accountable to the change that they say theyre going to give to us, we just need to hold them accountable and keep our voices out there. Remain active. And i do think it is possible for this to happen. I do. Tera brown, we wish you, your family the best in these days and weeks. We know you have a lot to process here. But lets keep talking because were going to be watching for change as well. Absolutely. Were going to keep the efforts going so i appreciate your support. Thank you. Tera brown, thanks so much.

What does Derek Chauvins conviction mean for the three other exofficers charged in George Floyds death facing charges for Aiding And Abetting murder and manslaughter . Right. Theyll face trial in august. Thomas lane, Alexander Kueng and tou thao. Shimon prokupecz joins us with more on the charges they face. I think that was obviously a huge question in this trial in terms of what can be used from this in that trial. Yeah, and its going to be all the same evidence, poppy. The same witnesses, the same bodyworn Camera Footage that we have seen so much of at this point. One of the interesting things thats going to whats going to be interesting to see is how the Defense Attorneys for the three officers, how they try to use this trial, certainly the publicity, the attention and all the evidence out in the public. How theyll try to use that to perhaps maybe try to move the case, try to do Something Else to argue that perhaps somehow all the publicity has now prejudiced their clients in the cases against them. So thats going to be interesting. And bringing in a lot of these witnesses. A lot of the young people who testified. The people in the community who testified having to relive a lot of this for the family of george floyd. They are all going to have to relive all of this again from the testimony and all of the footage that we have seen. The other thing, obviously, whats going to be interesting is to see the presentation by the prosecution, specifically some of those initial officers who responded to the scene. One of those officers weve seen in the video pointing a gun at george floyd and just how frightened he was at that m moment. All of that testimony surrounding all of that is going to come during this trial which is set for august 23rd. And, of course, The Big Question about how does the city, the country prepare for the next phase of this trial and whats to come. Chauvins own sentencing and then that trial. Shimon prokupecz, thanks very much. Just in the last few moments we have received a new booking photo, as its known, of chauvin as he heads to prison. We also learned this morning that he will be segregated from the rest of the general Prison Population while hes there, a step thats taken, say authorities, when safety is a concern. But thats a new photo of Derek Chauvin following his conviction. Joining us now, Charles Ramsey and terrence gainer, former Senate Sergeant at arms. Thanks to both of you. Charles, i want to begin with you. You served in uniform. You commanded Men And Women In Uniform for decades. And i just wonder if you can describe how Police Officers at work, on the beat, take this verdict in. Do they individually rethink the way they police . This is a practice question. How this plays out in the real world. The reality is the majority of Police Officers do not police if you can call it policing, anything like Derek Chauvin. I think, and i go back to the Closing Arguments by the prosecution where they said this isnt an antipolice trial. Its a propolice trial. And it is propolice in that when you think about the officers who have died in the line of duty, you think about the men and women who serve with honor every single day. This actually supports them. So the majority of officers, and ive not spoken to a single one who saw that tape who thought his actions were proper. Or anything other than just criminal, quite frankly. So, you know, as far as the men and women of the department go, he got a trial. He got a fair trial. He was convicted. And the fraternal order of police, the National Fraternal order of police agreed with the verdict. And so i really do think this is a time for change. Real change in policing. And thats for the benefit of the men and women out there doing the job every day. Terrence, i wonder what you think about this. L. Z. Granderson writes, progress doesnt come from one verdict. Progress is having one of those three cops with chauvin that day intervene to save floyds life. As long as good cops still need a video to go viral before turning in bad ones, well be in the same spot we were the day before floyd died. Is he right . Well, theres a possibility that hes right, but what ive seen across the country and what chief ramsey has seen is the change. A lot more conversations about the duty to intervene. So i think this was a very Important Message to all Law Enforcement, even even though this case was easy to see how bad it was, we still have to remember that Police Officers have to remember their fundamental duty is to serve mankind. And they have to intervene when they need to intervene. Well, its interesting. In the George Floyd Justice in policing act, the proposed police reform, duty to intervene is one of the changes. Training on that in effect. Reinforcing training on that. But also other steps. Banning chokeholds, ending or overhauling qualified immunity which protects officers in civil suits. But i wanted to zero in on one point. Mandating use of deadly force as a last resort. This gets to my last question. Im not saying that the Law Enforcement is full of officers like Derek Chauvin. Im just asking, does this lead to police reconsidering when deadly force is justified and training putting more barriers around that, right . Greater emphasis on deescalation. Is it possible . Is it necessary . Sure. And its happening now. Deescalation is a big part of police training, and deadly force should be a last resort. Officers should do everything they can to protect life, not take life. Every time an officer uses force, its not it shouldnt be viewed as being criminal or being wrong. There are going to be, unfortunately, times when that has to occur but those arent normal times. Its rare actually when you look at the number of contacts. As far as the duty to intervene, if i could just very quickly. Georgetown law created a program, active bystander for Law Enforcement. They call it a. B. L. E. Its going national. Its all about interviening if you see misconduct on the part of another officer. The duty to intervene is critically important. It shouldnt be after the fact. Right on the scene. If you see something going wrong, step in and stop it. Very quickly for you, terrence, how important was it for you, as a former officer and other officers, to hear in the Closing Argument from the prosecution, this is not an antipolice case. This is a propolice case . I think it was very important. It sent a message to both the police and the public. Because even the shooting just happened yesterday in columbus, ive seen some of the interviews of neighbors, people of color, who have indicated this is different. So we all have to take a critical look. Police have to look at how they do their job. And the public has to be fair in how they see them do their job. So weve all learned from this. And i think the other thing that struck me about this, we remember how Martin Luther king talked about the long arc of justice. Bending. Bends toward justice. I think this was the bend everybody was waiting for. Wow. Wow. Thank you, terrence. Thank you, charles. Thank you. More than 86 million americans have been fully vaccinated against covid, but a new report says it could get much harder for the u. S. To Reach Herd Immunity in the next few weeks. Well tell you why, ahead. Its the mothers day sale. And this is how mom shines. At zales. The diamond store. Dignity. S. It demands a rapid covid test, because we all deserve an answer.

And try zyrtecd for proven relief of your allergies, Sinus Pressure and congestion. Welcome back. A new report from the Kaiser Family foundation says the u. S. Could reach a Tipping Point on Vaccine Enthusiasm in just the next few weeks. The report says the folks who still have not been vaccinated have chosen not to be, are more hesitant and that that could present challenges for the u. S. Reaching herd immunity. Cnns Elizabeth Cohen joins us now with more. So elizabeth, is it enough, right . Are there enough folks here to prevent getting to that magic number of herd immunity, 70 , 75 of the population being vaccinated or having some immunity . Jim, thats not clear but the hope is with the proper education campaigns, proper psas, ads, et cetera, that we can convince that approximately onethird of americans who arent so excited about getting this vaccine. Lets talk about this Kaiser Family Foundation Poll and why they say that we are at a Tipping Point. Right now, people who are wanting to get the vaccine, theyre out there. Theyre enthusiastic. Sometimes theyre waiting long times and going online and making appointments. In about two weeks, everyone who wants a vaccine will have received it. But heres the catch. Again, it looks like about onethird of more than onethird of americans either dont want the shot or arent so sure. So thats the Tipping Point. Well have vaccinated all the people who want it. Now the job of the u. S. Government is to try to educate that final, approximately 37 , that they need to get it. Jim, poppy . Thats a big percent. 37 of the country. It is. Lets hope those efforts work. Frankly, you know, a lot of them it seems to have been affected by deliberate disinformation about the efficacy and daingers of vaccines. Elizabeth cohen, great to have you on the story. Ahead accountability this morning for the murder of george floyd. Next, the 17yearold girl whose video changed the world in the fight for justice.

Her name is Darnella Frazier. That fateful day in may in her hometown of minneapolis, darnella took her cousin on a walk to get a snack. She saw it, the knee of Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin on the neck of george floyd. It stopped her in her tracks, and she bore witness, not only herself, but for the world. She pulled out her phone, hit record and held it steady, not flinching, perhaps knowing the world needed to see this for any hope of justice to be served. I heard george floyd saying, i cant breathe, please get off of me, i cant breathe. He cried for his mom. He was in pain. It seemed like he knew seemed like he knew it was over for him. He was terrified. He was suffering. And then she also said this ot the witness stand. When i look at george floyd, i look at my dad, i look at my brothers, i like at my cousins, my uncles because they are all black. I have a black father. I have a black brother. The day after george floyd was murdered, 17yearold Darnella Frazier told her ohm town paper, the minneapolis star tribune, as soon as i saw him trying to fight for his life, it was like a natural instinct. The world needs to see what i was seeing. Stuff like this happens in silence too many times. Last night George Floyds aunt Angela Harrelson reminded all of us of that silence. The sad thing is, if it wasnt for that 17yearold girl darnella, it would have been another black man that was killed by police, his own fault and they would have said, oh, it was drugs, oh, it was this. And we wouldnt be here today talking. As Washington Post columnist Margaret Sullivan reminds us so importantly in her moving piece as the verdict came down, what anita hill said to Darnella Frazier, presenting her with an award earlier this year.

Former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin is now convicted on all three counts in George Floyds murder. The Minnesota Department of corrections released his new booking photo. The exofficer found guilty on all three of the murder and manslaughter charges. The headline says it all on the minneapolis star tribune, convicted, as a bit of accountability and a bit of hope after years and years against police brutality. The most severe charge Hefg Con Viced of carries a maximum sentence of 40 years. Sentencing guidelines, including for a firsttime offender, point to a sentence much closer to perhaps 12. 5 years.
