Two selected jurors dismissed from Chauvin trial following record settlement Print this article The city of Minneapolis's decision to pay the family of George Floyd $27 million has derailed the criminal case against former police officer Derek Chauvin as a judge on Tuesday dismissed two jurors whose impartiality came into question. Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill said Wednesday morning that only five of the seven selected jurors could continue sitting for the murder trial after reviewing an updated questionnaire. Of concern was whether the Minneapolis government's decision to settle a wrongful death lawsuit with the Floyd family would affect the jurors' ability to give a fair analysis of Chauvin's alleged guilt. The $27 million figure was the largest in city history.
