Chauvin verdicts not a cause for celebration, prosecutor says Keith Ellison s team described the legal case. There really are no winners. April 24, 2021 3:16pm Text size Copy shortlink:
Several days after jurors returned full convictions against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, the prosecutors who pieced together the case against him say they have refrained from celebrating their win and struggle to sleep a full night.
While there were congratulations in the immediate aftermath of last Tuesday s three guilty verdicts, the weight of the case loomed over the team that spent nearly a year poring through evidence and stitching together a careful attack on Chauvin s claims that he followed his training as he knelt on George Floyd s neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds last May.
