Minneapolis: Former Police Minneapolis who was convicted of killing George Floyd will return to the court through videolink Tuesday, along with three other officers involved in the murder which triggered the largest racial judicial demonstration in America in decades.
Chauvin’s crane, 45, was reported to be able to use the opportunity to be guilty and admitted – for the first time – the responsibility for the death of the 46-year-old black man, in his neck he knelt for almost 10 minutes on May 2020.
Chauvin was punished in June to 22 Half a year in prison, who he currently gives, at the end of the extraordinary trial in the Minnesota District Court.
Three former colleagues Chauvin, Tou Thao, Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane, will face the trial in March 2022 on charges of involvement in murder.
The four men also faced federal accusations to violate Floyd’s constitutional rights.
Such multiple prosecutions are permitted in the United States, but they are relatively rare.
The process reflects the significance of the case at the heart of the wave of national protests against the brutality of the police and systemic racism.
The four defendants will appear on Tuesday via video before the federal judge, who will read the charges against them.
Those people are expected to say whether they pleaded guilty or not.
According to local media, Chauvin has negotiated a request agreement for several weeks that will make it another trial.
During his first trial, his lawyer said Chauvin had followed the police procedure and that the death of Floyd was due to health problems that were exacerbated by drug use.
At the end of the process, Chauvin offered a condolences to the FLOYD family and said: “There will be some other information in the future that will be interesting and I hope everything will give you peace of mind,” hinting a possible agreement request.
The jury took less than 10 hours to punish.
Their decision was welcomed in relief throughout the country.
Many who are afraid of liberation will cause worse riots, while others are worried that once again a white police officer will get away with what they see as murder.
The Floyd family lawyer said the “historical” sentence was a step towards racial reconciliation in the United States.
