President Joe Biden on Tuesday called for the"right" verdict in the racially charged trial of an ex-policeman accused of murdering George Floyd and described the case now before a Minneapolis jury as"overwhelming."

The experienced officer, who is white, restrained Floyd by kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes, even as the handcuffed 46-year-old Black man said repeatedly"I can't breathe," then died. "They're a good family and they're calling for peace and tranquility, no matter what that verdict is," Biden said.Closing arguments

"You must not let bias, prejudice, passion, sympathy or public opinion influence your decision," Cahill said."You must not consider any consequences or penalties that might follow from your verdict." Minneapolis has been the scene of nightly protests since Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, was shot dead in a suburb of the Minnesota city on April 11 by a white policewoman.
