When the relatives gather in Minneapolis Tuesday to mark the one-year anniversary of his death, they’ll remember how he was always the life of the party, Tera McGee Brown, a first cousin who lived with Floyd for a time when they were kids growing up in Houston, told the Daily News.
The first murder trial in a case that sparked worldwide protests against police brutality and systemic racism was to set to begin Monday, more than nine months after a horrifying cellphone video sent shock waves around the nation and abroad. Jury selection in the trial of ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was caught on tape pressing his knee on George Floyd’s neck for several minutes, was expected to start at 9 a.m., but it was postponed for at least a day as prosecutors try to reinstate a third charge against the suspect.
George Floyd's relatives are bracing for the former officer’s murder trial set to start Monday under an intense spotlight. Only one relative at a time will be allowed to face Chauvin in the courtroom due to COVID restrictions, but the family members can rotate, the Hennepin County judge overseeing the case ruled.
