When Detroit Lions defensive lineman Trey Flowers learned of the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial, he wasn’t exactly overjoyed and instead called it “kind of bittersweet.”
“Obviously, you know, you don’t want someone to have to lose their life for everybody to stand (for) justice and this to happen and things like that,” Flowers told reporters Tuesday. “But obviously the jurors made their decision and I felt it was the right decision.”
A jury last week found Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, guilty of murdering George Floyd after kneeling on his neck for more than 9 minutes.
