A Minnesota jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd on Tuesday.
The court will hand down Chauvin's sentence in eight weeks. Chauvin was found guilty on all three charges he faced.
Chauvin stood trial after Floyd died while in police custody last May. Prior to Floyd's murder, Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than nine minutes outside of a Minneapolis market as Floyd repeatedly pleaded "I can't breathe." Floyd was suspected of passing a counterfeit $20 bill.
Onlookers recorded the incident on video as some pleaded with Chauvin to stop.
