MINNEAPOLIS (Talk1370.com) -- The 12 jurors deliberating the case against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin have reached a verdict.
Chauvin is charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in connection with the May 2020 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The case comes down to two key questions — whether Chauvin caused Floyd’s death and whether his actions were reasonable — and each charge requires a different element of proof as to Chauvin’s state of mind.
For all three charges, prosecutors had to prove that Chauvin caused Floyd’s death and that his use of force was unreasonable.
