As the guilty verdict was delivered on the Derek Chauvin trial Tuesday afternoon, Kansan reporters disbanded across Lawrence to speak with community members about their reaction to the verdict. Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for the death of George Floyd. "I'm rejoicing," said Niya McAdoo, Black Student Coalition co-founder and president. âThe shock and confusion on his face literally brings me joy.â Trinity Dye, a KU freshman studying political science and theatre performance, said it was not the verdict that shocked her about this specific trial, but that the verdict came nearly 11 months after the death of George Floyd.
