Tuesday saw a jury convict Derek Chauvin on three counts for the murder of George Floyd. But for another, similar incident that took place in Tacoma just two month’s before Floyd’s death in 2020, a family is pushing for justice of its own.
Civil rights attorney James Bible represents the family of Manuel Ellis, and labeled Tuesday’s verdict in Chauvin’s trial “an emotional moment for the entire nation.” He believes it was the compelling video of Chauvin leaning on George Floyd’s neck that lead to the eventual conviction.
