MINNEAPOLIS: Former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin appears to be on the verge of pleading guilty to violating George Floyd’s civil rights.
A federal docket entry on Monday showed that a hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday for Chauvin to change his current not-guilty plea in the case. The court system also sent out instructions for media to attend the hearing.
Chauvin has already been convicted of state murder and manslaughter charges for pinning his knee against Floyds neck as the Black man said he couldnt breathe in a May 25, 2020 arrest.
Chauvin and three other former officers Thomas Lane, J. Kueng and Tou Thao were set to go to trial in late January on those charges.
