Derek Chauvin charges explained: What prosecutors must prove
Fox News
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is charged with second- and third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd last May.
Under Minnesota state law, a person causing the death of another person, without intent of causing the death of any person, while committing or attempting to commit a felony offense, is guilty of murder in the second degree, Cahill said. Second-degree murder does not require the prosecution to prove Chauvin had "an intent" to kill Floyd, but the state must prove that Chauvin attempted to commit the underlying felony of assault in the third degree. Assault is defined as the intentional infliction of bodily harm, so prosecutors must prove Chauvin "intentionally" applied unlawful force without consent and it resulted in "bodily harm."
