Closing arguments today, and unless something unexpected happens, the Jury will get the case this afternoon. For those wondering about the various charges Derek Chauvin will face, here is a run down of each count and what prosecutors must prove.
Taken from CNN.
Second-degree unintentional murder
Prosecutors must prove Chauvin caused George Floyd's death, while committing an underlying felony.
There is need to prove intent to kill, just intent to act.
If convicted, he could face up to 40 years in prison.
Third-degree murder
Prosecutors must prove Chauvin committed a reckless act that is "eminently dangerous" to others with "depraved mind."
If convicted, he could face up to 25 years in prison.
Second-degree Manslaughter
Prosecutors must prove Chauvin was "culpably negligent" and disregarded awareness of substantial risk of great bodily injury or death.
If, convicted he could face up to 10 years in prison.
IMO the jury will come back with either an acquittal (not guilty), hung jury (jury can't agree), or a conviction of Second-degree Manslaughter. Third-M and Second-unintential-murder thresholds will probably not be met - even though I think the officer should be tossed in prison for life.
