People elated by the verdict flooded the surrounding streets downtown upon hearing the news. Cars blared their horns, and people ran through traffic, waving banners.
His bail was immediately revoked and he was led away with his hands cuffed behind his back. Sentencing will be in two months. The verdict was read in a courthouse ringed with concrete barriers and razor wire and patrolled by National Guard troops, in a city on edge against another round of unrest - not just because of the Chauvin case but because of the deadly police shooting of a young Black man, Daunte Wright, in a Minneapolis suburb April 11.
Prosecutors played the footage at the earliest opportunity, during opening statements, with Jerry Blackwell telling the jury: “Believe your eyes.” And it was shown over and over, analyzed one frame at a time by witnesses on both sides. Police-procedure experts and law enforcement veterans inside and outside the Minneapolis department, including the chief, testified for the prosecution that Chauvin used excessive force and went against his training.
Under the law, police have certain leeway to use force and are judged according to whether their actions were “reasonable” under the circumstances.
Wasn't even a fair trial.
Mr. Derek Chauvin served in the military, grow up in a working-class household, Mr. Derek Chauvin earned his GED certificate, & work his way up. Thus, no one should die from a $20 bill. 🙁
Finally, people believing in people, not colour!
As a Female student of a Low social status background & immigrant, I consider Mr. Derek Chauvin NOT a racist & his ex-wife was a refugee from Laos. Hmong-Americans households live in poverty.🙁
I love how he looks so confused to why his is guilty.
Good
Best news I heard all year
He look soooo evil and animal 😡
