Former Officer Derek Chauvin Found Guilty In The Death of George Floyd

The jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all three counts related to the death of George Floyd: second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. Chauvin faces up to 40 years for second-degree murder, 25 years for third-degree murder, and 10 years for manslaughter. His bail was revoked, and he was taken into custody. The verdict, reached after 10 hours of deliberation, was met with relief and seen as a step towards change by many, though some activists view it as only a beginning. Sentencing is scheduled for eight weeks from the verdict.
