Ex-Minneapolis officers to be tried separately in George Floyd trial
Derek Chauvin will be tried separately from the other officers implicated in the death with a trial beginning March 8.
George Floyd for two separate times.
Derek Chauvin will be tried separately from the other three police officers who are being held responsible for the death. The change was made in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Officials proposed concerns that the high-profile trial could become a COVID-19 “super spreader.”
They expect large crowds of both protesters and participants. Prosecutors even requested the trial be held until June when more people would have likely received coronavirus vaccines according to the report.
