Just a few days have passed since Derek Chauvin’s conviction in the murder of George Floyd. But the images from that moment are seared in our memories forever: the murderer, led away in handcuffs.
The jury reached a verdict Tuesday at the murder trial of former Officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd, the Black man who was pinned to the pavement with a knee on his neck in a case that set off a furious reexamination of racism and policing in the U.S.
It’s clear video will be the central focus at the trial that began Monday for a white former Minneapolis police officer charged with killing George Floyd _ and not just the widely seen bystander video that set off nationwide protests last year. The defense says it will also use videos to make its case.
