That was the jury’s verdict in the case against Derek Chauvin on Tuesday evening. The defendant sat stoically while outside the courthouse, an assembled crowd began to cheer. So ended one of the most closely watched police custody death cases in recent memory. The death of George Floyd set off months of protests, mostly peaceful, some violent as cries for police accountability became too immense to ignore. This trial was the centerpiece. It took the jury a mere 11 hours to reach a verdict and the stakes placed on their decision could not have been higher. We examine the verdict and what happens next.
