Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been found guilty an all three counts in the death of George Floyd last summer in Minneapolis, Minn. April 20, 2021.
MINNEAPOLIS — Derek Chauvin said in court Thursday that he will not testify in his murder trial shortly before the defense said it has completed its case and the prosecution reiterated the same, setting the stage for closing arguments and deliberations Monday.
SIU sent out alerts via text message and email to students after Carbondale Police responded to a report of shots fired near Oakland Avenue and Freeman Street. According to the police’s investigation, people in two separate cars fired at each other.
MINNEAPOLIS — The teenager who brought before the world's eyes the events leading to George Floyd's death last spring testified Tuesday in Derek Chauvin's murder trial that the ex-Minneapolis police officer had a "cold look, heartless" as Floyd pleaded for his life.
