GUILTY: DEREK CHAUVIN, the U.S police officer who knelt on George Floyd’s neck for over 6 minutes during an arrest killing him has been found guilty of murder and faces upto 40 years in prison.
Chauvin was found guilty on three charges: second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter.
Floyd’s death in May 2020 angered the world sparking protests against police violence and racism.
“Today, a jury in Minneapolis did the right thing,” says former President Barack Obama and wife Michelle. “True justice requires that we come to terms with the fact that Black Americans are treated differently, every day.”
George Perry Floyd Jr. was an African-American man murdered by police during an arrest after a store clerk alleged he had passed a counterfeit $20 bill in Minneapolis. Derek Chauvin, one of four police officers who arrived on the scene, knelt on Floyd’s neck and back for 9 minutes and 29 seconds.
