Live: Jury gives verdict in trial of former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin

Live from the courthouse where the jury is giving its verdict in the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin.

The 45-year-old is charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd.

After nearly six hours of closing arguments and rebuttal on Monday, the 12 jurors - seven women and five men - were led away to deliberate.

Floyd died last May following an arrest during which Chauvin placed a knee on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds while Floyd pleaded, “I can’t breathe.”

Caught on video, those tragic final moments led to widespread protests and riots across the US against police brutality and racism.

Chauvin, along with three other police officers present during the fatal arrest, was fired from the Minneapolis Police Department the day after the death.
