Former police officer convicted of George Floyd’s murder set to make first appearance in federal civil rights trial.
Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murder in George Floyd’s death, is set to make an initial appearance Tuesday in federal court to face charges alleging he violated Floyd’s civil rights by pinning the Black man to the pavement with his knee. The federal charges allege Chauvin violated Floyd’s rights as he restrained him face-down while he was handcuffed, not resisting and gasping for air. Chauvin, 45, will appear via videoconference from Minnesota’s maximum-security prison in Oak Park Heights, where he is being held as he awaits sentence following his April conviction.
