George Floyd Case: Jury Selection Begins for Derek Chauvin’s Murder Trial

The trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was charged with second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the killing of George Floyd, began Tuesday with jury selection after a slight delay. The process was initially postponed Monday as prosecutors sought guidance from an appeals court over whether jury selection could begin while appeals were still pending over an additional charge of third-degree murder against Chauvin.
