The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Convict or Acquit? Ex-Cop on Trial for George Floyd’s Death

Today we’re talking about what to expect in the high-profile and racially-charged murder trial of Derek Chauvin. The trial begins Monday.

Chauvin is a former Minneapolis police officer accused of killing George Floyd on May 25, 2020.

A witness video, now seen around the world, appears to show Chauvin using his knee to pin Floyd down on the ground for several minutes. The case sparked nationwide protests and unrest.

Now, the world will be watching as a jury hears the case and decides whether Chauvin will be convicted and put in prison or acquitted and allowed to go free. 

Today you’ll hear from two guest experts about jury selection, key legal considerations, and the role both video and race may play during this process.
