Police official: Chauvin trained to avoid neck pressure

The Justice Department is already investigating whether Chauvin and the other officers involved in Floyd's death violated his civil rights.

Twelve jurors — six of them white, six Black or multiracial — are beginning deliberations in a city on edge against another round of unrest.

Chauvin, 45, is charged with murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s death after his arrest on suspicion of passing a counterfeit $20 at a neighborhood market.
