Minnesota Hearing on George Floyd's Killer

What really happened in Minneapolis?

3 June, the prosecutor sent an indictment to the court, which reports on the events of late May in Minneapolis without emotional colors, with which the media are oversaturated in recent days.

25 May, at eight in the evening, in Minneapolis someone reported on 911, that a black man bought a product in a store for 20 dollars on a fake check, and two police officers arrived at the scene. They learned from store staff, that the fraudster has parked his car on a nearby street.

They found the same car. Suspect George Floyd was in it.. He was armed, got out of the car and handcuffed. Floyd was taken to a police car and tried to put in the back seat for detainees. Floyd began to actively resist, fell to the ground and reported, that he doesn’t want to get into the car, since he has claustrophobia.

At this time, Derek Choven arrived with a partner. The police again tried to put Floyd in their police car. The suspect fell face to the ground. He was still shackled. Chowen put his knee on the head and neck of a suspect lying on the ground. He repeated many times, “I can’t breathe”, "mum", "you are welcome", and then said "I am dying". Policeman Choven did not back down.

One of the officers answered Floyd's pleas.: “You speak well”. Chowen kept his foot on the arrestee’s neck for almost nine minutes. This caused cardiopulmonary failure., resulting in death.

How can they punish a policeman?

Contrary to media reports, the prosecutor did not specifically charge Derek Choven, and left himself a corridor for maneuver between the second-degree murder charge with the prospect of a 40-year sentence, third-degree murder with punishment no more 25 years of prison and reckless killing, for which more 10 years will not give. As we understand, the choice will be determined by public outcry.

Chowen is now in custody. By this, the authorities saved him from a painful death at the Lynch trial..

The FAN has a fresh accusation document, “Minnesota State vs. Derek Chowen”, where all the circumstances of the ongoing trial are disclosed.

The policeman lost his family

Wife of the defendant Kelly - former "Miss Minnesota", immigrant. Marriage with Choven is already the second for her. Spouses raised two children Kelly from their first marriage. AT 2018 year in an interview she told, that under the tunic Derek has a gentle nature.

it, but, Kelly didn’t stop decisively breaking up with her second husband. She did not wait for the completion of the trial.. Choven has millions of claims ahead, dishonor and not a single chance to be acquitted by jury. State judicial site reports, that Kelly’s divorce sent to court already 31 May, six days after the unfortunate events.

Chowen lost everything, what was dear to him, in six days. His case shows, that people in uniform bear additional risks and responsibilities to society, not expressly provided by contract.
