When the Minnesota jury came back Tuesday in the George Floyd case, Raymond Moore was in a packed room in North Adams, surrounded by his wife, seven children, two cousins and neighbors. Moore says a hush fell around the TV as the judge prepared to read the verdicts against Derek Chauvin. With the first finding of “guilty,” Moore felt a mix of elation and amazement. And then a trace of hope for Black families everywhere. “My heart fell into my stomach. I was ecstatic that that cop was held accountable,” he said. Moore, a Black Lives Matter activist, says he has followed the case closely, since Floyd’s murder May 25 in Minneapolis. Floyd, 46, died after being arrested on suspicion of passing a counterfeit $20 bill. Chauvin was convicted Tuesday of murder and manslaughter for pinning Floyd to the pavement by placing his knee on Floyd s neck for more than nine minutes.
