Derek Chauvin trial: Dismissed juror says George Floyd video made her cry, rioting necessary in BLM movement

As jury selection continued for a third day Thursday in the trial for ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, one juror was dismissed by the court with cause after explaining that she could not "un-see" what she described as the "traumatizing" bystander video showing a knee pressed to George Floyd’s neck – and stating that the rioting that following his death was necessary to advance the BLM movement.

"I'm going to focus on one issue and that's the presumption of innocence," Cahill said, addressing "Juror #37." "Do you think you could do that -- presume that he is innocent as you enter the courtroom?" "I wouldn't like that verdict," she stated, before the judge interjected, "So if it if it was 'not guilty.'"
