Derek Chauvin murder trial (George Floyd)

Muahahaha

Officer Derek Chavin goes on trial today charged with the homicide of George Floyd, if found guilty he is facing up to 40 years in prison.

The prosecution is largely based on the 9 minute long video of Chauvin pressing his knee into Floyds neck. The defence is going to claim that Chavin did nothing outside of his police training and that Floyds death came about because of drugs in his system and an underlying heart condition. The official autopsy found that his death was a homicide.

Witnesses include a then 17 year old girl who filmed the video on her phone and a police dispatcher who watched events unfold live on CCTV and alerted her supervisor about his treatment.

Its unknown if Chavin himself will take the stand. The trial will also open up answers about the previous relationship between Floyd and Chavin- they both worked as security together for a bar in Minnesota. The trial itself is expected to last 4-5 weeks. The other three police officers involved in the incident will face trial themselves in August.

Some people here ought to be ashamed of themselves for how they looked for every excuse in the book to play down what this scumbag did.

congresswoman Watters should have kept her council , i believe he should be convicted by the way , its irrelevant that the guy had downed a sh1t load of drugs , Chauvin could not have known that and deliberately kneeled on the guys throat

Guilty on all counts...Excellent. some solace for the family. Will it change policing, that's hard to know!

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty.

Huge sigh of relief.

Glad to hear he's going down on all counts. I suspect numerous posters will be rejecting the verdict now. Imagine you'll have appeals etc but suspect he is facing some serious jail time.

Nothing to do with the man that was killed because he may have used a dodgy 20 dollar bill?

People need to start believing the evidence of their eyes and ears again.
