derek chauvin. a lot of the details we have about derek chauvin come from his personnel file. >> chauvin was an officer for 19 years with the minneapolis police department. >> he had been a field training officer for other people in the force. so he had been used by the department as somebody to look up to and to emulate. >> for a lot of people, the image of derek chauvin is what they see on the body camera video. that's the image people have. >> that's not the derek i knew back in high school. my name is janelle stadt. i've known derek since elementary school at pullman. >> derek grew up in st. paul park, minnesota. maybe 3,000 to 4,000 people, one elementary school. average middle class neighborhoods. blue collar, probably mostly caucasian back then. >> he joined the force in 2001 as a full-time sworn minneapolis police officer. looking in derek chauvin's personnel record, we get a pretty good idea of what his disciplinary records look like and what civilian complaints look like. >> derek chauvin

this is ray, ithaca, new york, says derek chauvin is not guilty. guilty. go ahead tragic i think not guilty just because i have a reasonable doubt. i'm not saying he's innocent but i do think there's a reasonable doubt in our system when there is reasonable doubt you have to vote not guilty. >> host: more from eric nelson attorney for derek chauvin. his argument for reasonable doubt in that trial in closing arguments yesterday here's eric nelson. >> there's lots of one deaths that could of happened, -- what yes, what should it happen, lots of them and lots of regards. we have to analyze this case on the perspective of the reasonable police officer at the precise moment with the totality of the circumstances when it comes to use force. we have to look at the cause of death to determine did mr. floyd died exclusively of his six-year, or were there other contributing factors? that were not the natural result of mr. chauvin acts? things that happened it was set in motion before mr. chauvin ever arrived. drug ingestion, right? the bad heart, the diseased heart,

we are awaiting the verdict in the derek chauvin trial. derek chauvin was among the four police officers who detained george floyd, resulting in his death. chauvin is the

the conviction of derek chauvin is just a step. it's a step forward that has to be appreciated, and it should be also a call on us, a recognition that the entire system of policing is rotten to the core. and so we have to be willing enough, be courageous enough to engage in the ongoing work to transform the system of public safety, to invest deeply in community-driven solutions, and, yes, defund the police, who continue to steal the lives of our people, most recently with the murder of 15-year-old ma'khia bryant in columbus, ohio. we have to do work in george floyd's name. >> so that's the work you want from the people. let's hear from the politicians. control room, let's play vice president kamala harris on her comments about confronting racial injustice. >> here's the truth about racial injustice. it is not just a black america problem or a people of color problem. it is a problem for every american. it is keeping us from fulfilling the promise of liberty and justice for all. >> and what do you want to hear from the white house?

the conviction of derek chauvin may or may not become a catalyst for real change. for george floyd's family, though, and others affected by his death, it'll bring a closure that has been denied to so many others. i think that everyone should remember, you know, that george floyd, first and foremost, is a person. and i think that, when you view someone as just a hashtag or as a movement, you really take away their humanity. we're all george floyd potentially, so the outcome of this case is big — not just for african—americans or americans in general, but it's really big for the justice system and for the world. hello. the sunny, dry theme to the april weather continued through the course of the weekend. the month of april is turning out to be exceptionally dry but through this coming week will see the return of some scattered showers. that is down to the fact that low pressure is showing, something we haven't seen a little while. moving on from the north, quite a small slow moving area but it will bring some salary range, to parts of scotland, wanted to latch no

here, derek chauvin's top conviction was murder in the second-degree. when you go across here, you get his range, which is in months, 128 to 180. the presumptive sentence, 150 months, which means 12.5 years. >> 12.5 years. we heard a lot about aggravating factors though. that's one of the things the judge will be thinking about in the next couple of weeks. >> it's going to be so important. the prosecution is going to ask the judge to increase that sentence anywhere from 12.5 to 40 based on what the prosecution argues are five aggravating factors that make this crime particularly heinous. one, they argue that george floyd was a particularly vulnerable victim because he was handcuffed behind his back. two, they argue chauvin acted with particular cruelty because the knee to the neck as bystanders begged him to stop. three, they argue that chauvin abused his position of authority, meaning abused the badge as a police officer. four, they argue that chauvin committed the crime as part of a group of three or more people including other three officers. remembe

the big question is, will derek chauvin testify? mariana: john hendren reporting to us on that trial in minneapolis. moving to other stories, iran will start enriching uranium up to 60% purity, the highest level yet days after an attack on its nuclear facility. it comes as russia and iran's foreign minister met to sign a cooperation agreement. they both condemned the attack and encourage the u.s. to return to the 2050 nuclear deal and to lift the trump era sanctions. now the u.n. human rights chief years the situation in myanmar will turn into a full-blown conflict like the one in syria. michelle is urging stronger action against the army saying targeted sanctions won't be enough. protests against it have grown across the country despite the harsh military crackdown. or than several hundred people have been killed since the coup in more than 4000 people arrested with reports that 23 people are facing the death penalty. >> there are many states and many businesses that have not got influence in the matter. they have leverage that the

it's the main reason that derek chauvin couldn't testify. can you imagine the cross-examination about what was going through his mind at minute number five, six, seven,, nine? so the prosecution has the last word and the prosecution will carry the day on that point. >> i thought it was interesting to, to tony ice point about reasonablable police officer because he is saying derek chauvin is that reasonable police officer. it's always fascinating to me, this is what a trial is, that you can have the same set of circumstances and view them so totally differently when you're talking in a trial. >> the thing is, the reasonable police officer can only really be seen by the collective eyes and ears of the jury because they are the ones who are going to judge the reasonable police officer. and one of the things i will always say about trials is this, you can take facts from different perspectives and you can argue them ethically and properly from either side, but there are some facts which i call facts beyond change, and you cannot change the fact

earlier you saw derek chauvin in handcuffs. what i looked at when i saw that still photo was actually the taser on the sheriff's belt. and the reason i saw that taser is because it's bright. it's yellow, it stands out. and that lets you know it's not a handgun. and that brings us to daunte wright. when you have these glaring problems in policing that continue to happen day after day after day, well once it's an accident and twice it's anomaly. three or more it's a pattern. >> we got three or more. yesterday everybody i was talking to was still talking about derek chauvin, but daunte wright, but philando custill, a young man a college student said i would not call the police if i needed help because i don't believe they're here to help me. >> well, they have every reason to be afraid. given all of the officer involved killings that have happened, i mean on the same day in which the jury verdict was being read in derek chauvin's case we have makiyah bryant in columbus, ohio, being killed. a 15-year-old black girl. and so folks im

this is about derek chauvin, what he did, really to disgrace the badge. i guarantee you when he was making that speech, i kept thinking back to chief arredondo, who took the stand, testified unequivocally and what derek chauvin did was unacceptable, violated policy and procedure. and the contrast i think is something that will stick in the jury's mind, between what a police officer should be and what derek chauvin did to george floyd. >> commissioner, do you think given the back drop this is happening in -- we have seen since george floyd's death, obviously, a slew of other police-related killings and shootings and excessive force. so, do you think the jurors will be able to separate in their mind, this is just derek chauvin versus, you know, what's happening down the road in brooklyn center? >> i pray that they can separate it. i believe the prosecution's statement was arg c rat. this is about his actions this day and he has to be held accountable. i think he said something about, believe your eyes, what you saw, you saw. and we all saw it. and chauvin's

. _ for derek chauvin? well, they will be concurrent. when _ for derek chauvin? well, they will be concurrent. when he _ for derek chauvin? well, they will be concurrent. when he gets - be concurrent. when he gets sentenced, they will run concurrent because they are part of the same act. so the fundamental conviction, of course, was second—degree, because that means he will in fact in all likelihood get a higher sentence than the last officer to be convicted which was mohammed knorr who was sentenced on third—degree murder. so the second degree murder was significant, the times will run concurrent, but that second degree murder charges a really big deal, it's the same as you would get for intentional second degree murder. 0k, john, thank you very much for joining us and for your commentary during the course of this trial. you have been an invaluable resource up there in minneapolis. for those of you who are just there in minneapolis. for those of you who arejustjoining us, we have special coverage now of the trial of derek chauvin, who has been found guilty o

the chauvin trial is over. officer derek chauvin was convicted yesterday on all count. the trial went on for more than a month and the testimony was complex and technical. at the center of the case there was one piece of relevant evidence. it was a videotape of george floyd's death in the street of minneapolis. if you have not seen the tape recently, it's every bit as shocking as the day it was shot. you can see that george floyd knows on some level he will die and he does die. it's crushing. millions of american saw it and were horrified. many decided that officer chauvin must have committed an act of criminal brutality. it's not surprising that the jury yesterday concluded the same thing want the images in that tape seem to tell the whole story. it is possible that even if no one outside of the courtroom in minneapolis had ever seen that tape just the jury it is possible derek chauvin would still be convicted. the tape is that powerful. we don't know that. we can only speculate about it. that's not what happened. the george floyd video went around the world. it it bec

against derek chauvin. we'll show you some video right now, just the reaction of people outside, just feeling as if a change had happened, at least in their city many people felt like a change happened in the world. we spoke to one minneapolis resident here's what he had to say about the verdict and the emotional, almost religious experience that he had when it was read. >> my emotion during the trial was anxiety, a heightened level of anxiety, concerned about which way this would turn out and what the reaction of the city would be. but to look at it now, it's like a day of jubilee you know, a celebration and what we're here for but also let me be clear about this, it's also bittersweet. sweet from the standpoint that we love george floyd, we got justice today. but this is only one particular day. and what america should be paying attention to is what it took to get here, to get this day of jubilee and this day of justice. >> reporter: and that sense of it being bittersweet was echoed by so many other peopl

first, closing arguments just ended derek chauvin is in the hands of the jury. >>> joining us to talk about this case and what it means for all of us, paul batista. thank you paul for joining us today. what an afternoon, give us the main point of the final arguments that we just heard that each side just made to the jurors as they wrap things up and send the jury into deliberation. >> the prosecution did a great job of laying out its case over to our timeframe. even though the defendants lawyer, mr. nelson was outgunned, he was only lawyer representing derek chauvin he did a remarkably good job of summarizing his defense of the case. i think we saw some exceptional lawyering throughout this trial including during the closing arguments. >> the defense made a last- minute appeal to have the case dismissed pushed on what a california congresswoman said. touch on that? >> apparently maxine waters elected to go on television recently and frankly, made some very incendiary comments about what the results might be in the event that derek chauvin is acquitted. so mr. nelson, the defense attor

the verdict in the derek chauvin. a murder trial is in in the killing of george floyd, the eyes of everyone around the world has been on hearing today. the jury finds him guilty of second-degree murder, guilty of third-degree murder and of manslaughter. all 3 charges found he was found guilty. this was a statement san francisco mayor london breed. she said, quote, this verdict does not bring back the life of george floyd a can't replace the years of his life that were robbed from him nor the life experiences and memories that would have been made with his friends and family what this verdict does reflect is that the tide is turning in this country, although still too slowly toward accountability and justice. and after today's guilty verdict in the derek chauvin murder trial. berkeley mayor jesse i again, he said in part the following, quote, for so many years. justice has been denied when african americans have died at the hands of law enforcement today. justice has finally been delivered. it is my hope that we can bu

earlier in the segment, he showed derek chauvin in handcuffs. a lot of people focused on those handcuffs. but i looked at when i saw that still photo was actually the taser on the sheriff spelled. the reason i saw that a taser is because it's bright, it's yellow, it stands out. that lets you know that's not a handgun. so, that brings us to daunte wright. when you have these glaring problems in policing that continue to happen day after day after day, once is an accident, twice it's an anomaly. three more, it's a pattern. >> we got three or more. last week, everybody was talking to us still talking about derek chauvin, but dante wright, but philando castillo one of the gentleman i was talking to said i would not call the police if i needed help because i don't believe they are here to help me. >> they have ever reason to be afraid. given all of the officer involved killings that have happened on the same day in which the jury verdict was being read and derek chauvin's case we have mah'kia bryant in columbus, ohio being killed. a 15 year old black

what derek chauvin did to george floyd wasn't policing, it was murder. the former officer put in handcuffs himself, as he was led out of court. >> and so where do we go from here as far as derek chauvin and his fate? let's bring in alex perez, who has been covering this case from the start and the trial there in minneapolis. alex, i understand derek chauvin will be sentenced in about eight weeks now and faces up to 40 years behind bars, based on that most serious of the charges? >> reporter: yeah, that's right, david. he faces up to 40 years behind bars. now, the judge will have a lot of discretion when it comes to sentencing. he will be able to consider many different factors when he imposes that sentence. and david, tonight, we did hear from darnella frazier, that's the young woman who recorded that video seen around the world. in a tweet tonight, saying, "george floyd, we did it. justice has been served." david? >> darnella frazier reacting to the news today and remember her on the witness stand, saying she's cried many a night wondering if she could

the camera trained on derek chauvin's face as the judge read the decision. guilty of second degree murder. guilty of third degree murder and guilty of second degree manslaughter. guilty on all three charges. the silence broken outside the courthouse. hundreds gathered there. shouts of surprise but also relief in george floyd's square, that's right outside cup foods in south minneapolis fwhere george floyd died last memorial day. president biden, as we've been reporting this afternoon, calling george floyd's family, telling them, quote, nothing is going to make it all better, but at least now there is some justi justice. and this image tonight from black lives matter plaza in washington, d.c. this is just across from the white house. a young black man falling to his knees in tears. we heard descriptions from rachel scott who was on the scene there. within moments, derek chauvin placed in handcuffs and led away, potentially facing decades behind bars. and at this hour, the reaction, of course, coming in from across this country. what will it mean for the natio

the defense rested its case, this week in the derek chauvin murder trial. >> there was a crowd. and yes, the crowd was becoming more loud and aggressive. >> i felt that derek chauvin was justified, and was acting with objective reasonableness. >> i will invoke my fifth-amendment privilege today. >> closing arguments are on monday. and tonight, our legal experts will break down last week's pivot moments, including extended excerpts from the trial. from nbc news world headquarters in work york, i'm joshua johnson with a special report on the derek chauvin murder trial. welcome to "the week." >>> week three of the trial was overshadowed by another-police killing in the minneapolis area. protests, quickly, broke out in the suburb of brooklyn center over the death of daunte wright. that intensified the twin city's anxiety over the chauvin trial's outcome. judge peter cahill denied a request from the defense to sequester and reinterview each juror about the wright shooting and protests. let's break down how the week went, in court. prosecution called its final witnesses, on monday. ca

derek chauvin was found guilty on all 3 charges against him. second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder also manslaughter people who gathered at the very spot where floyd was killed cheered when they heard the verdict for more on reaction in minneapolis. we head there live to reporter eric wrong. eric. >> well, good evening. it has been a long tense couple of days here in minneapolis as this case has come to a close. it is safe to say people here are breathing a little easier tonight. >> data, minnesota plaintive versus derek michael chauvin defendant inside the courtroom, find the defendant guilty outside the courthouse. >> the cheering got louder each time the crowd heard the judge say the word guilty today. >> the >> not long after the verdict was read, the party began and spread to the streets of minneapolis some in disbelief of the verdict. do you really think it was going to happen. >> i had no faith in it. i had no faith. just look at that. i think that's why so many people are excited because we didn't we. the justice syste

he was still underneath former officer derek chauvin's knee for more than nine minutes. and the verdicts today don't change that. >> o'donnell: but does it encourage the type of reform that's needed legislatively? >> well, it can cut in both directions. one thing i would note is a lot of the reforms that have been proposed nationally and locally are reforms that would not have saved george floyd's life, that had some of these pieces of legislation been passed, george floyd still would have been killed if the officer chose to do this. i do think this does help build momentum on capitol hill. but there's a secondary question of whether or not the legislation being considered will, in fact, speak to the problems that the folks in the street are talking about. on the other hand, there's also a chance that if activists are calling for big systemic change, people who might be opponents to that reform might say, look, the system works as is. why do we need to change things? the officer was found guilty. he's being sent to prison. so there is still a push and pull here about whe

the conviction of derek chauvin may or may not become a catalyst for real change. for george floyd's family, though, and others affected by his death, it'll bring a closure that has been denied to so many others. i think that everyone should remember, you know, that george floyd, first and foremost, is a person. and i think that, when you view someone as just a hashtag or as a movement, you really take away their humanity. we're all george floyd potentially, so the outcome of this case is big — not just for african—americans or americans in general, but it's really big for the justice system and for the world. sunshine has prevailed for most this weekend~ _ sunshine has prevailed for most this weekend~ that — sunshine has prevailed for most this weekend. that will— sunshine has prevailed for most this weekend. that will continue - sunshine has prevailed for most this weekend. that will continue with - weekend. that will continue with what _ weekend. that will continue with what is _ weekend. that will continue with what is left — weekend. that will contin

derek chauvin is not. now he is in custody. going back to judge puro who is giving us a little bit of the behind-the-scenes and right around, 5:02 they read the verdict, guilty on all counts. can i get your reaction to that? >> judge jeanine: clearly the verdict is supported by the facts, this case was extremely unusual. i've tried many murder cases, and it is rare that you even get a picture of the victim in a murder case. maybe an autopsy photo, and here we have living, breathing person that the jury was able to relate to every day day after day. watching the trauma of what he went through, begging for air, begging to breathe. this one, when i say that, it make no mistake, the facts are solid on this verdict, this verdict will be held on appeal but right now what people need to understand is that the american justice system works. it works, people believe in lady justice and you can give it a chance, it can work. for all those people who want to burn down streets, just let the court do its job and it will, it will survive. >>
