Fox News
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison called for further reforms to policing on Tuesday a jury convicted former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on all charges for the murder of George Floyd last May.
"This has to end. We need true justice," Ellison said. "That's not one case -- that is a social transformation that says no one is beneath the law and no one is above it. This verdict reminds us that we must make enduring, systemic societal change." The jury, comprised of six white people and six Black or multiracial people, found Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The most serious charge carries a sentence of up to 40 years in prison. A sentencing hearing is scheduled in eight weeks. Jury members remained anonymous throughout the trial and were sequestered from the public. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, declared a state of emergency ahead of the announcement amid fears of potential unrest in response to the verdict. Authorities erected protective barriers near the courthouse prior to the announcement and National Guard troops were placed on standby.
