Today is Saturday, March 27th. Today, we're talking about what to expect in the high profile and

racially charged murder trial of Derek Chauvin. The trial begins this Monday. Remember, Chauvin,

a former Minneapolis police officer who was white, is accused of killing George Floyd, who is

black on May 25th, 2020. A witness video seen around the world now appears to show Chauvin using

his need to pin Floyd down on the ground for several minutes, and Floyd has heard saying, I can't

the case sparked nationwide protests and unrest. And now the world will be watching as a jury

hears this case and then decides whether Chauvin will be convicted and put in prison or acquitted

and allowed to go free. Today, you'll hear from two guests. One is Dr. Sam Summers, a social

psychologist who studies in part race, social perception, and their effect on the legal system.

But first, criminal defense attorney Joe Tamarino joins us to discuss the key legal concepts and

considerations in this case. He's a leading legal voice in Minneapolis where this trial is happening.

Neither is directly tied to the trial, but both have been watching it closely, and they offer

their expert insights as this trial is about to unfold.

death. We've got second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and manslaughter. Can you briefly just

explain what each one means in this case? Sure. So second-degree murder has two different parts.
