Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been found guilty in the murder trial of George Floyd, whose death led to months of demonstrations against police brutality last summer.

The trial was seen as a referendum on policing, and whether a conviction of a police officer for killing a Black person could be won.

Graphic bystander footage of the fatal arrest showed Floyd, 46, pleading with Chauvin that he couldn’t breathe as the officer pinned him to the street, his knee on Floyd’s neck.

Chauvin’s knee remained on Floyd’s neck for well over nine minutes, even after Floyd became unresponsive.

Prosecutors argued it was an intentional act that directly led to Floyd’s death, while the officer’s defense portrayed it as a normal form of police work. Chauvin’s legal defense also rested on the idea that other factors led to Floyd’s death, a premise rejected by prosecutors.
