Derek Chauvin verdict reached in trial over George Floyd's death

The death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, touched off international protests against police brutality and racial injustice.

MINNEAPOLIS — The jury has reached a verdict in the trial of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin, who is charged with murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd.

The verdict will be read in open court between 3:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. local time.

The panel of seven women and five men began deliberating Monday after three weeks of witness testimony.

Chauvin is charged with second- and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The third-degree murder charge had initially been dismissed, but it was reinstated after an appeals court ruling in an unrelated case established new grounds for it days before jury selection started.

Second-degree murder carries a maximum sentence of 40 years. Third-degree murder carries a maximum sentence of 25 years. Second-degree manslaughter is punishable by up to 10 years.

Chauvin, who is white, knelt on Floyd's neck for several minutes as Floyd, who was Black, was handcuffed and lying on the ground.



Prosecutors argued that Chauvin's actions caused Floyd to die from low oxygen, or asphyxia. The defense claimed that Floyd's illegal drug use and a pre-existing heart condition were to blame and urged jurors not to rule out other theories, as well, including exposure to carbon monoxide.

During closing arguments, prosecutors sought to focus jurors' attention on the 9 minutes, 29 seconds they say Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck, while Chauvin's defense attorney told them that "the 9 minutes and 29 seconds ignores the previous 16 minutes and 59 seconds" of the interaction.

Prosecutors called 38 witnesses, including the teenager who recorded the widely seen bystander video that brought global attention to Floyd's death. She and other bystanders who testified said they are haunted by Floyd's death and that they wish they had done more to try to save his life. The defense called seven witnesses, two of whom were experts.

Chauvin had agreed to plead guilty to third-degree murder days after Floyd's death, but William Barr, then the U.S. attorney general, rejected the deal because, officials said, he was worried that it was too early in the investigation and that it would be perceived as too lenient.

Floyd's death touched off international protests against police brutality and racial injustice. The city of Minneapolis has spent months preparing for the trial and for the potential of unrest over the verdict.

Herpes infections may be a side effect of a COVID-19 vaccine, experts have revealed.

Scientists in Israel identified six cases in a new study of patients developing a skin rash known as herpes zoster — or shingles — after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, according to a study in the Rheumatology journal.

Herpes zoster starts off as a small, itchy skin rash, but if left untreated, it could cause nerve damage and pain, the Jerusalem Post reported.

This can include a prolonged burning sensation on the skin even after the rash disappears.

Researchers from Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center and Carmel Medical Center in Haifa found those with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases had a higher risk of developing the herpes infection.

Out of 491 patients, six people or 1.2 percent experienced the infection, researchers said.


The six patients all have mild cases of autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases and were young, though the infection is generally more common in those over the age of 50.

That is why we reported on it,” Dr. Victoria Furer, the lead author, told the outlet.

Five of them developed herpes zoster after the first dose and the sixth got it after the second.

But it’s still unclear whether the vaccine caused the cases of herpes zoster.

“We cannot say the vaccine is the cause at this point,” Furer told the outlet. “We can say it might be a trigger in some patients.”

Furer said further research is necessary and one implication could be that patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases be encouraged to get vaccinated against herpes zoster before getting their COVID-19 shot.

“We should not scare people,” she told the Jerusalem Post. “The overall message is to get vaccinated. It is just important to be aware.”

A Buddhist monk in Thailand chopped off his own head — on his birthday — in hopes the gruesome sacrifice would bring him luck in the afterlife, according to reports.

Thammakorn Wangpreecha, 68, a monk for 11 years, built a guillotine near a religious statue portraying the god Indra doing the same thing, the UK’s Metro reported.


The monk’s nephew, who found the decapitated body, said he had left behind a note.

“It stated that chopping his head off was his way of praising Buddha, and he had been planning this for five years now,” Booncherd Boonrod said.

“His wish was to offer his head and soul so the Lord could reincarnate him as a higher spiritual being in the next life,” the nephew added


Hundreds of the dead monk’s devotees later descended on the Wat Phu Hin temple in Nong Bua Lamphu to prepare his body for the funeral — placing him in a coffin, with his head in a separate casket, to be burned in a forest


“He fulfilled his goal and met enlightenment,” said one of his followers, Yu, accord to the news outlet.

The National Office of Buddhism has asked the local government to help spread the message that people can give money or free captive birds as a sacrifice, rather than lopping off their heads





Wangpreecha built a guillotine device and thought the act would bring him good luck in the afterlife


“Temple executives and abbots should review their practices and look after other monks in their temples. This incident is possible evidence of neglecting to do so,” office spokesman Sipbowon Kaeo-ngam said, the International Business Times reported.

“We have to prevent such unpleasant situations from happening again,” he added

A video circulating on social media Tuesday morning shows Perth Amboy police officers stopping a group of primarily Black and Latino teenagers riding their bicycles through the city, confiscating several bikes after they said they wouldn’t and ultimately handcuffing one of the teens.

Portions of the video were posted on several social media channels including YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, and caused “Perth Amboy” to be trending on Twitter on Tuesday morning. The videos show a group of teenagers riding BMX-style bicycles through the streets of Perth Amboy, at a few points weaving into the wrong side of the road and riding against traffic. Throughout the more than 17-minute version of the video shared on Youtube, the teenagers are seen popping wheelies with their bikes as they ride through Perth Amboy’s streets.

The group of cyclists grew to more than a dozen, but the group split up after police cars began trying to stop the bikes, which ultimately led to one of the riders being handcuffed and his bike seized.

The incident comes amid a national conversation about policing targeting young people of color and relying on outdated ordinances to justify stops and harassment, as well as discussions about the role of community policing.

“This is Perth Amboy, NJ,” Amol Sinha, the executive director of the ACLU New Jersey, wrote on Twitter. “Are the police really arresting kids over bike registrations? Does it really require this many officers to address whatever situation this is? Police CANNOT continue to be our response to EVERYTHING.”

Multiple calls and emails to Perth Amboy police and the mayor’s office were not returned. Messages to the person who posted the original video - and is seen riding his bike as part of the group - were not immediately returned.

At one point in the video, several Perth Amboy police cars are seen tailing the group of teens, before the group rides into a park. Later in the video, an officer orders the group to stop over a speaker and the group obliges on an unidentified street.

One officer gets out and talks to the group of four to six cyclists - most of them Black or Latino - alleging that a group of cyclists were creating a disturbance in traffic for drivers who couldn’t get around the large group.

“You guys are supposed to have licenses and all that kind of stuff,” the officer is heard telling the group. “Guys, we don’t make the rules. You guys know when there’s 30 or 40 of you together, it creates a problem for people driving.”

Several times, the first officer tells the group the police would not be taking their bikes, but that the group would eventually need to get licenses for their bicycles.

License tags are required for bicycles, according to the Perth Amboy municipal ordinance.

“I appreciate you guys stopping, okay,” the officer tells the group. “I told you, I promised you we’re not taking your bikes.”

He then issued them a verbal warning about obtaining licenses for the bike and thanked them again for stopping.

“Guys, please be a little safer for your safety,” the officer told them before walking away as the bike riders clapped.

The video then cuts to another officer reaching for the handlebars of two of the teens’ bikes, before ordering that other officers confiscate the teens’ bikes.

“Take their bikes,” the officer, who is identified as a sergeant, is heard saying.

One teenager refuses to give the officers his bike, arguing with the sergeant. The sergeant threatens the teen with arrest if he does not get off and hand over his bike, then he is handcuffed and put in a patrol car moments later, according to the video.

It is unclear if charges were ultimately filed against the teenager who was handcuffed.

The video drew outcry from people on social media — many claiming that the number of officers deployed to stop the teens was excessive — and outrage at the arrest of a Black teenager for a bike offense.

Ultimately, the one teenager who was arrested was released, according to the video, and the four bikes confiscated were returned.

The officer who arrested the teenager is seen in a police station speaking to one of the cyclists, claiming she told the group to stay on the sidewalk. However, according to the municipal ordinance, riding a bicycle on the sidewalks on State Street, between Market Street and Fayette Street, or on Smith Street, between Elm Street and High Street is not allowed.

The same officer says in the video that police were not required to return bicycles if they were not registered in Perth Amboy. But according to the ordinance, a confiscated bicycle is supposed to be returned upon “payment of any fine imposed or upon any final adjudication.”

The Green Bay Packers had fans and analysts alike scratching their heads during the 2020 NFL Draft when the Packers opted to draft Aaron Rodgers’ replacement with the Packers in prime Super Bowl contention, perhaps just one piece away.

The Packers of course lost to the Bucs in the NFC Title game, and game Jordan Love stood standing on the sideline for the entirety of.

Now, it appears as if it’s a possibility Green Bay would trade away the man they leveraged their present and future on just one year later.

A leaked photo from an office of someone in the team’s front office shows a proposed draft day trade that would send Love to the Patriots in return for the Patriots trading down from pick 15, the 29th overall pick and a 4th round pick (142nd).
