2 Derek Chauvin trial jurors dismissed after $27M George Floyd settlement media coverage
Fox News
Two of the seven jurors recalled for questioning in the trial of ex-police officer Derek Chauvin were dismissed Wednesday after telling the court that the media coverage last week regarding the city of Minneapolis’ $27 million civil settlement with George Floyd’s family might affect their ability to be fair and impartial during criminal proceedings.
"I think it will be hard to be impartial," the juror said. The judge then dismissed "Juror #20," who told the court he saw a headline about the settlement late last week -- but "left it at that" and did not read the article in order to abide by the court’s instructions that jurors ought to avoid media coverage regarding the case.More Related News
