Watch Live: Judge expected to decide whether to delay or move Derek Chauvin trial
CBSN
Several important rulings are expected Friday morning in the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin, who is charged with murder and manslaughter in the May 2020 death of George Floyd. Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill is expected to decide whether to delay or move the trial due to Minneapolis' recent announcement of a $27 million settlement with Floyd's family.
Cahill will rule on Chauvin attorney Eric Nelson 's motion to halt or move the trial due to concerns that the settlement had tainted the jury pool. Cahill, however, denied similar motions last year, and the settlement didn't emerge as a major factor with only two jurors being dismissed after being questioned about it.More Related News
