MINNEAPOLIS, Jun 1, 2020, CNN. The first court appearance for Derek Chauvin, the former Minnesota police officer charged in death of George Floyd, has been moved to June 8, according to court records, CNN reported.
He was originally scheduled to appear in court for a hearing on Monday. The court records indicate no specific reasoning for why the date was reset.
Chauvin remains in custody. He was charged Friday with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter — two felonies where intent is a key element.
Protests erupt for a sixth day across the US over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At least 40 cities have imposed curfews and National Guard members have been activated in 15 states and Washington, DC.
