Derek Chauvin trial: Who is Judge Peter Cahill?
Fox News
Presiding over the murder trial for ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill is handling what’s viewed by many as a defining moment for law enforcement and race relations in America following the death of George Floyd last May.
He was subsequently reelected in 2008, 2014 and 2020. His current term expires in January 2027, according to his biography on the Minnesota Judicial Branch website. Chief Hennepin District Judge Toddrick Barnette selected Cahill to oversee the cases in connection to Floyd’s death. "This moment is not too big for him," Barnette told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune last week. "He will make thoughtful legal decisions based upon the law, even if the decisions are unpopular."
