Derek Chauvin sentencing: Ex-Minneapolis cop faces judgment in murder of George Floyd
Fox News
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin will be sentenced Friday on murder charges in the death of George Floyd last summer.
Chauvin’s actions, which were recorded on harrowing video that circulated widely online, prompted an explosion of social justice and anti-police brutality protests that lasted for months. He could be seen pressing his knee to the neck of Floyd, who was laying prone and being restrained by other officers, for 9 minutes and 29 seconds as onlookers pleaded for him to ease up and Floyd begged for his life. Floyd, who was suspected of passing a fake $20 bill at a nearby corner store, eventually went limp.More Related News
