Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been found guilty of murder in the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis, Minn. The jury returned the guilty verdict of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter Tuesday afternoon after 10 hours of deliberation.

Chauvin, who had been free on bail, was taken out of the courtroom in handcuffs. His sentencing is set to take place in eight weeks, where he will face up to 40 years in prison.

The verdict followed less than two days of the trial closed with three weeks of testimony, dozens of witnesses, and extended video footage of Floyd’s death after suffocating under the weight of Chauvin’s knee.

Press play below to watch the live broadcast of the verdict, beginning at the 47-minute mark.
