Chauvin został uznany winnym wszystkich trzech przedstawionych zarzutów. Grozi mu do 40 lat więzienia za morderstwo drugiego stopnia, do 25 lat za morderstwo trzeciego stopnia i do 10 lat za nieumyślne spowodowanie śmierci. Zarzuty są rozpatrywane oddzielnie, dlatego kara może zostać skumulowana.

Scheduling update: due to the imminent announcement of the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial, Joe Biden will not be delivering his planned speech on infrastructure this afternoon.

“Because of the announcement that a verdict will soon be announced in the Chauvin trial, the President’s remarks on the American Jobs Plan after his virtual tour of Proterra have been rescheduled,” the White House said in a statement provided to the press pool.

The court has previously let everyone know that there would be a one hour gap between the judge, Peter Cahill, receiving word that the jury had reached a verdict and that verdict being read in court.

This is to do with the authorities wanting to allow most workers to leave the court building in downtown Minneapolis and go home, out of security concerns.
