The Verdict GUILTY

Submitted by ub on

The Jury in the murder trial of ex-cop Derek Chauvin in George Floyd’s death has reached a verdict. The former Minneapolis police officer has been convicted of murdering George Floyd.

The state presented closing arguments and now the defense has an opportunity to address the jury and finally a prosecution rebuttal.

Prosecutor Steve Schleicher told jurors about "horrified bystanders" who watched Officer Derek Chauvin with his knee on George Floyd's neck. Prosecutors and Chauvin's defense attorney presented different views of the bystanders in the trial. http://apne.ws/tyiKzTR
