The Derek Chauvin murder trial, which began back in early March, draws to an end this week as closing arguments begin Monday. White police officer Chauvin, 45, is on trial for murder and manslaughter after pinning Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, to the pavement last May for nine and a half minutes, according to prosecutors.
Jurors are expected to begin deliberating after the closing arguments, which start at 9 a.m. local time Monday. Following the jury deliberation, a verdict could be announced this week.
Viewers can watch the closing arguments via different television networks, such as Court TV, ABC and NBC, which have been providing daily live coverage of the trial.
