George Floyd murder trial set to begin in Minneapolis
Another potential juror, a white man working as a chemist in an environmental testing laboratory, said he somewhat disagreed with the assertion that the Minneapolis police used disproportionate force against Black people.
Identified only as Juror No. 2, he said he supported Black Lives Matter which he understood to mean all lives matter equally.
The man also said that he had never watched the viral video of Chauvin with his knee on Floyd s neck.
He was selected to be a juror after he told the judge he would be fair and impartial.
