What to expect from the George Floyd murder trial

Nearly a year after George Floyd died in police custody — setting off massive, anti-racism protests across the globe — the murder trial against the former officer accused of killing him begins in Minneapolis Monday morning. 

Jury selection for the trial against Derek Chauvin wrapped on Tuesday and opening statements are expected to kick off at 9 a.m. local time at Hennepin County District Court.  Local law enforcement officials have banded together under “Operation Safety Net” to “ensure the safety of the public” during the trial and provide security during expected demonstrations.
