Hello and welcome. We start in the us where all four Police Officers who were present when george floyd was arrested in the city of minneapolis are now facing charges in connection with his death. Derek chauvin, the officer who was filmed kneeling on his neck, has had his charge elevated to Second Degree murder. Lets just look at what that means in the state of minnesota. The law there defines first degree murder as one in which the defendant has the intention to kill and usually requires some element of premeditation Second Degree murder, the charges being brought here, requires intention on the part of the defendant but is more related to crimes of passion or crimes in the heat of the moment and third degree murder would not require proof that the defendant wanted the victim to die, only that their actions were dangerous and carried out without regard to human life.
