The trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s death. Floyd, 46, died May 25 after an encounter with the police during which Chauvin pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck for more than 9 minutes while he was handcuffed and pinned to the pavement.
