Chauvin faces charges of murder and manslaughter for the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man.
The trial of Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer charged with murder and manslaughter for the May 2020 death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, is set to enter its second day. Monday’s proceedings began with Floyd’s family members and civil rights lawyers taking a knee for eight minutes and 46 seconds – the time Chauvin kneeled on Floyd’s neck – in front of the Hennepin County court. At the trial’s opening, the prosecution urged jurors to “believe your eyes” while laying out a case that will rely heavily on the footage of the incident, in which Floyd repeatedly pleaded that he could not breathe. That footage was played for the court on Monday, as well as never-before-seen police officer body camera footage.
