Manslaughter. Guilty on all three charges. The silence broken outside the courthouse. Hundreds gathered there. Shouts of surprise but also relief in George Floyds square, thats right outside cup foods in South Minneapolis Fwhere george floyd died last memorial day. President biden, as weve been reporting this afternoon, calling George Floyds family, telling them, quote, nothing is going to make it all better, but at least now there is some justi justice. And this image tonight from black lives matter plaza in washington, d. C. This is just across from the white house. A young black man falling to his knees in tears. We heard descriptions from rachel scott who was on the scene there. Within moments, Derek Chauvin placed in handcuffs and led away, potentially facing decades behind bars. And at this hour, the reaction, of course, coming in from across this country. What will it mean for the nations reckoning on race, justice and policing . Abcs alex perez leading us off tonight from minneapolis. Members of the jury, i will now lead the verdict. Reporter the jury deliberating just 10 1 2 hours, and with the nation watching, judge peter cahill reading their unanimous verdict. We, the jury in the above entitled matter, as to count one, unintentional Second Degree murder while commmitting a felony, find the defendant guilty. Verdict count two. We, the jury in the above entitled matter, as to count two, thirddegree murder perpetrating an eminently dangerous act, find the defendant guilty. Verdict count three. We, the jury in the above entitled matter as to count three, seconddegree manslaughter, culpable negligence, creating an unreasonable risk, find the defendant guilty. Reporter the jury of seven women and five men, which included six people of color, stayed late last night and came in early this morning. They worked swiftly and didnt send out a single question during their deliberations. Are these your verdicts so say you one, so say you all . Yes. Reporter in houston, George Floyds Family Members, including his older brother, watching as the verdict was read. Find the defendant guilty. Yes find the defendant guilty. Yes reporter here in minneapolis, other Family Members erupting. Yes reporter and in george floyd square, near where he was murdered, jubilation. The prosecution built their case around that video seen around the world. The 9 minutes and 29 seconds that sparked a racial reckoning movement, telling jurors, believe your own eyes. Its exactly what you knew. Its what you felt in your gut. Its what you now know in your heart. This wasnt policing. This was murder. Reporter the teenager who shot that video, darnella frazier, taking the stand, testifying offcamera. Like so many eyewitnesses, shes still haunted by what she saw. When i look at george floyd, i look at i look at my dad. I look at my brothers, i look at my cousins, my uncles, because theyre all black. I look at how that could have been one of them. Its been nights, i stayed up apologizing and and apologizing to george floyd for not doing more. Reporter a dozen Law Enforcement witnesses, including the minneapolis chief of police, testified against Derek Chauvin. To continue to apply that level of force to a person, proned out, handcuffed behind their back. That that in no way, shape or form is anything that is by policy. It is not part of our training, and it is certainly not part of our ethics or our values. Reporter the prosecutions medical experts were blunt. A healthy person subjected to what mr. Floyd was subjected to would have died as a result of what he was subjected to. Reporter Chau Vun Opting not to take the stand in his own defense. I will invoke my fifth amendment privilege today. Reporter his attorney calling just seven witnesses to the prosecutions 38. They sought to convince jurors that George Floyds Heart Disease and drug use led to his death, not chauvins knee on his neck. Derek chauvin did exactly what he had been trained to do over the course of his 19year career. The use of force is not attractive, but it is a necessary component of policing. Reporter but the jury was not convinced, and tonight, we have their judgment. What Derek Chauvin did to george floyd wasnt policing, it was murder. The former officer put in handcuffs himself, as he was led out of court. And so where Do We Go From Here as far as Derek Chauvin as his fate . Lets bring in alex perez, who has been covering this case from the start and the trial there in minneapolis. Alex, i understand Derek Chauvin will be sentenced in about eight weeks now and faces up to 40 years behind bars, based on that most serious of the charges . Reporter yeah, thats right, david. He could face up to 40 years behind bars. The judge will have a lot of discretion and can consider many factors when he imposes his sentence. Tonight, david, were hearing from darnella frazier, that young woman who posted and shared that video that weve all seen. She tweeted tonight, george floyd, we did it. Justice has been served. David . Darnella frazier reaffecting to the news today and remembering her on the Witness Stand, saying shes cried many a night wondering if she could have done more for george floyd. Alex perez leading us off tonight, thank you. And of course, theres already strong reaction and moving reactions copping in from across this country. George floyds death sparked demonstrations and protests and conversations, including people from various races and backgrounds across this country. Parents bringing their children out to these protests. Is in minneapolis with what vis were seeing so far. Reporter tonight, the crowd outside cup foods in minneapolis erupting in cheers as they learned of Derek Chauvins conviction in George Floyds death. At the u. S. Capitol, members of the Congressional Black Caucus clasping hands as they listened to the verdicts. The disturbing video of chauvin with his knee on floyds neck, as floyd told officers he could not breathe, stunned the world. The memorial day incident then inciting outrage. With people from various races and backgrounds taking to the streets. Asna scenes oteown in silence remembering the 46yearold father. The black lives Matter Movement seeing a resurgence. Black lives matter reporter and from los angeles to phoenix, orlando to new york city, demonstrators demanding justice for floyd, but also for other africanamericans who have died in police custody. At the brooklyn memorial service, his Brother Terrence telling our david muir his family appreciated the diversity seen among demonstrators. When you looked out into that crowd and saw that sea of faces, black, white, asianamerican, latino, what did you make of it . I just know my brother was proud. Because i know the whole floyd family is proud of that. Because were all standing together. Were all standing together for the cause of justice. Reporter in september of last year, that intersection near where floyd was arrested renamed george floyd square. And so lets bring in linsey davis tonight, our sunday night anchor, who is on the ground in minneapolis, and linsey, George Floyds death, we know, sparked a conversation across this country and a long overdue one. And you were saying as we were on the air with our breaking coverage earlier, that the word that best described perhaps what you witnessed there in minneapolis is that people exhaled. Cities across this country and in small towns where we saw these protests and conversations started between police and people who live in those communities and tonight, Ken Moton Reporting that George Floyds family hopes that this verdict is just the beginning of this next chapter. Reporter thats right. You can still hear some celebratory cheers out in the streets now, but people are also ready to get to work, as far as real change. Many members of the black caucus and democrats are asking for legislation, specifically named George Floyd Justice in policing act. This is legislation that would combat misconduct in policing, particularly racial bias in policing. David . Linsey davis with our coverage in minneapolis tonight. Linsey, thank you so much. Been with me for all of our coverage throughout this trial. I want to bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams tonight. And dan, before we goat to the question, i just wanted to point out that this jury, the makeup of the jury, which is a headline in and of itself, we knew this going, but perhaps now an even more significant part of this, the jury was made up of six white jurors, six people of color, four black jurors and two people who identify as mixed race. So, a very diverse jury deciding this. And we know that in the Closing Argueths in the last 24 hours, prosecutors going back to what they said on the very first day in that opening statement, that you can believe what you see and it would appear the jurors did. Absolutely. That message resonated. Believe what you see, believe your eyes. Use your common sense. Those were the basic arguments made by the prosecutors, which is the video tells the story. And i think when you point out about the diversity of the jurors, it wasnt just their racial diversity. There was a great diversity in terms of what they did for a living and how they viewed the world and how they viewed the protests, et cetera. And i think that this can instill a sense of confidence that this really was a jury of americans coming together to reach this unanimous verdict of all of the charges in a relatively short period of time. Dan abrams with us tonight on this trial. Dan, thank you. I want to go to former prosecutor sunny hostin. And you were telling me right before we went on the air with news of the verdict that as a veteran prosecutor yourself, even you were surprised that this deliberation was relatively short, no questions from these jurors, no confusion over the chan char charges. This was highly unusual, i mean, its always clear to prosecutors that a quick verdict, a fast verdict really hints at an agreement, but in a case like this, with over 40 witnesses, with medical testimony, although there was this video that the world had seen, the defense, although didnt have a lot to work with, did a decent job with reasonable doubt and so i was very surprised that there were no questions for readback of testimony, no questions for legal instruction clarification. That is very, very odd, especially when it comes to convicting a Police Officer, because we know in this count country i think that many jurors are loathe to convict Police Officers. Historically, think about it, since 2015, there have been about 15,000 policekillings and i would say that stats arent very clear but chauvin is probably only the seventh Police Officer that has been convicted of murder. Those are the stats. That shows you how difficult it is to convict. And we know the prosecution was aware of that, which is why the prosecution showed just the vast number of Police Witnesses on that one visual that they put before the jury, several Police Witnesses, including the police chief, who came forward and testified against officer chauvin, that was extraordinarily rare to witness during a trial. One other question for you. The defense worked throughout this trial and in their closing in talking about the bystanders, talking about them as a potential threat, but at the very least, a distraction. And then the prosecution, in their final word, their rebuttal, they got up there and said the bystanders, they said, you met most of the bistanders that were there that day and they closed with the thought of that 9yearold girl who witnessed the whole thing and she was on the Witness Stand and she said she remembered when the paramedics arrived, more than nine minutes into that video and the paramedics had to say, get off of him. That was one of the most effective rebuttals that i have ever seen, david. Putting the eyes of a up there for the world and for the jury to see. It was really, really remarkable. And this is what justice looks like. Justice is accountability. Sunny hostin and dan abrams with us here tonight. Thank you both. We know that President Biden called the floyd family. We know we have a camera angle of part of that conversation, the phone call was made from the oval office but here is the other side of that phone call in the hallways of that courthouse. Take a look. Feeling better now. Nothing is going to make it all better, but at least now theres some justice. Right. And you know, i think i think of giannas comment, my daddys going to change it now, were going to start to change it now. Yes. Amen. Going to change it now. Yes. So, youve been incredible. Youre an incredible family. I wish i were there just to put my arms around you. President biden calling George Floyds family and our chief White House Correspondent cecilia vega is here, and cecilia, we know this is a relationship that dates back to almost a year ago, right after this tragedy. The president , then former Vice President joe biden, we know now hes the president , obviously, but he reached out to that family very early on. He went down to houston on the eve of the funeral, met with the family and left a Video Message played at that tune r funeral. Hes not shied away from it, that he supported this family and this conversation that the loss of their loved one spurred in america. Reporter he has said all along, david, that he believes george floyd was murdered and that he died in the hands of brutality. And he said in that phone call today that this verdict was justice. The family is hoping now for some reckoning here in washington. They want to see the George Floyd Justice in policing ability passed. It has passed in the houts, bse it is stalled in the senate. It would ban chokeholds. But republicans, david, here in washington say that this bill would weaken Law Enforcement and potentially put officers at risk. For now, the hope for movement is stalled.

We do expect to hear from President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at some point this evening. If it happens during the broadcast, we will bring it to you.
