Last May, the Minneapolis Police Department released a statement about the death of a man that'd taken into custody.

Man dies after medical incident during police interaction, it read.

The statement went on to say that after detaining this man, officers noticed he seemed to be in

medical distress, which is when they transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced

dead. It wasn't until later that we'd learn the identity of this man, George Floyd. And it wasn't until a cell phone video,

taken by a 17-year-old girl, went viral, that we'd know the real story. The story about Derek

Chauvin putting his knee on George Floyd's neck. It's a story that pushed millions to take to the

streets, demand justice. But how Derek Chauvin would be held accountable for what he did? That was an open question until yesterday.

We're coming on the air with breaking news. We've just learned the jury has reached a verdict in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer

Derek Chauvin charged in the death of George Floyd. This has been one of the most highly

anticipated trials in decades, communities across the country on edge preparing for possible
