Derek Chauvin juror tossed over negative impression of defendant

The attorney for a former Minneapolis police officer charged in George Floyd's death on Friday dismissed another potential jury member after she acknowledged having a negative view of the defendant.

"I could only watch part of the video, and from what I saw as a human, I, that did not give me a good impression," she said. She said she did not watch the bystander video in its entirety because "I just couldn’t watch it anymore." The woman repeatedly said she could put aside her opinions and decide the case on the facts, but Chauvin attorney Eric Nelson nonetheless used one of his 15 challenges to dismiss her. With jury selection in its fourth day, six people have been seated — five men and one woman. Three of those seated are White, one is multiracial, one is Hispanic and one is Black, according to Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill.
