MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Jury selection enters its eighth day Thursday in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer charged in the death of George Floyd, with nine jurors seated so far.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys will continue to question potential jurors until they can seat a 12-person jury, with two alternates.
Court will resume at 8:30 a.m. with a motion hearing, followed by jury selection. The trial is being streamed live, gavel-to-gavel, at fox9.com/live.
Wednesday’s session ended with a net gain of zero jurors after two of the nine previously seated jurors were dismissed by Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill over their views on the recently announced $27 million civil settlement with the Floyd family.
