The jury in the Derek Chauvin trial has reached a verdict this afternoon, after just 10 hours of deliberation.
That verdict:
Second-degree unintentional murder: GUILTY
Third-degree murder: GUILTY
Second-degree manslaughter: GUILTY
In addition, Chauvin’s bail was revoked and will remain in custody until sentencing.
Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was seen on camera kneeling on the neck of George Floyd, ignited a heated and deadly summer that saw protests and riots across the country. Floyd died during the incident.
Derek Chauvin faced charges of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in George Floyd’s death, and pleaded not guilty to all three charges.
