Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, was accused of murdering George Floyd on May 25, 2020, an event that sparked widespread protests against police brutality and racial injustice. The trial took place in Hennepin County District Court, with significant public attention and ongoing demonstrations in the city.
