Here is the full interview:
Raguse: It’s been a week now. I’m sure if the family of George Floyd is watching, there’s probably something you want to say to them. What would you say to the family of George Floyd?
Mitchell: First, I want to send my condolences to them and let them know that even though they lost a loved one, He’s become a martyr now, a legend. He’s become bigger than any individual person could ever be. What his name means is hopefully going to become synonymous with change and reform and all these things that have become very positive.
The second trial for three former Minneapolis police officers facing charges in the death of George Floyd will have cameras in the courtroom, much like the trial for Derek Chauvin, a court administrator announced Wednesday.

I had no idea I was holding my breath until I let out a deep exhale when I heard the jury had found Derek Chauvin guilty on all counts in killing George Floyd. It was a great day to breathe deeply for Floyd, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Philando Castile and countless other men, women and children of color who were killed by police but did not receive justice.
Before we move on from the historic Chauvin verdict, I want to highlight an aspect of criminal justice reform that does not get sufficient attention: diversity within the criminal justice system. Reforming this system requires a diversity of voices in positions of power. And I am convinced that there is no greater position of power within the system than that of the prosecutor.
