While a jury was still deliberating the fate of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the alleged murder of George Floyd, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey couldn’t keep himself from weighing in during a press conference by saying that it doesn’t really matter what the jury ultimately decides, George Floyd “was killed at the hands of police.”
Which is exactly what the jury is there to decide based on actual facts and evidence – but Frey’s got some political points to score.
Jurors remain in deliberations into the afternoon in Derek Chauvin murder trial
Jurors remained in deliberations into the afternoon Tuesday in the Derek Chauvin murder trial, one day after being given the case late Monday.
The jury heard nearly six hours of closing arguments from opposing attorneys Monday in Hennepin County District Court about whether the former Minneapolis police officer should be convicted or acquitted of killing George Floyd on May 25 at 38th and Chicago by pinning him to the pavement until he died.
