Reinstated third-degree murder charge against Derek Chauvin presents opportunity, risks By Chao Xiong and Paul Walsh Minneapolis Star Tribune/TNS MINNEAPOLIS - A judge added a third-degree murder charge Thursday against fired Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin in a move seen by some legal analysts as strategic to winning a conviction, but not without potential drawbacks. The development was followed by a day of jury selection that saw several prospective jurors relaying their emotional distress at viewing video of Chauvin pinning George Floyd under his knee for more than nine minutes. Floyd died during the arrest last spring. Seven potential jurors were questioned; one was chosen. A jury of one multiracial woman, one Black man, one Hispanic man and three white men have been seated over three days of jury selection. A jury of 14, two of them alternates, will be seated before opening statements and testimony begin March 29.
