These are the people at the center of the Derek Chauvin trial
The trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin began Monday, almost a year after video showed him kneeling on the neck of George Floyd for nearly eight minutes. Floyd died after the incident, which occurred last May.
His death sparked protests across the United States, with demonstrators calling for justice in the death of the 46-year-old Black man. Chauvin is on trial on charges of second-degree unintentional murder and second-degree manslaughter.
Here are some people at the center of Chauvin’s trial.
