“Derek Chauvin, arrested Friday on charges of third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, 46, was newly charged with an additional, more serious count of second-degree murder, according to court documents filed in the case.” The other three officers were charged with aiding and abetting Chauvin’s crimes. Each of them faced as many as 40 years in prison if convicted.
The Minnesota Attorney General has requested that bail be set at $1 million for each of the four former officers, court documents showed.
