A Minnesota judge denied a request to delay or move the trial of the former Minneapolis police officer charged with the death of George Floyd on Friday, the Associated Press reported.
Former officer Derek Chauvin’s attorney, Eric Nelson, made the request due to jury concerns after Floyd’s family received a $27 million settlement, the AP reported. The city of Minneapolis approved the payout to settle a civil suit over Floyd’s death as jury selection was halfway complete last week.
