Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murder on all three counts this morning following a three-week trial over the death of George Floyd. Chauvin could be facing prison for decades when sentenced in two months, and the three officers charged with aiding the murder will stand trial in August.
George Floyd’s death sparked outrage around the world with the BLM movement, and now many are asking whether the trial results are a reflection of justice, or are we just holding those responsible accountable?
