The murder of George Floyd, a Black man who died on May 25, 2020, and led to outrage in the US and around the globe over police brutality, now has some resolution. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted on three charges for pinning Floyd to the ground and placing his knee on his neck for more than nine minutes, resulting in Floyd’s suffocation.
Chauvin’s case took three weeks of testimony but less than a day of jury deliberations to find him guilty on all charges including: second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Following the judge reading out the guilty verdict, Chauvin’s bail was revoked and he was handcuffed and taken away to prison. Chauvin, 45, will be sentenced in eight weeks.
