Murderer or 'reasonable officer?' Jury begins deliberations in Chauvin trial

Jurors in the murder trial of Derek Chauvin began deliberations on Monday after a prosecutor implored them to “believe your eyes” as he replayed video of the former Minneapolis policeman kneeling on a dying George Floyd’s neck.

Chauvin’s lead lawyer, Eric Nelson, countered in his own closing argument that Chauvin behaved as any “reasonable police officer” would, saying that he followed his training from 19 years on the force.
