Additional charges were filed against Derek Chauvin, the other three officers involved in the attempted arrest and death of George Floyd have been arrested and charged. The Medical Examiners office updated its provisional autopsy report. When I get asked to talk about what I think might happen in this case I look for context from other similar cases. In Minneapolis Minnesota there is one, the death of Justine Ruszcyk who was shot and killed by officer Mohamad Noor in July 2017. This episode breaks down the new Second Degree Murder Charge, the Aiding and Abetting charge against the other officers, and the killing of Justine Ruszcyk.
