Former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin offered condolences to George Floyd’s family on Friday in a brief statement in court before hearing his sentence for second-degree murder.
Chauvin approached the bench with his attorney and explained to Judge Peter Cahill that due to some additional legal matters at hand, I’m not able to give a full formal statement at this time. Chauvin still faces federal civil rights charges in Floyd’s death.
He briefly told Cahill that I do want to give my condolences to the Floyd family and said there’s going to be some other information in the future that would be of interest. And I hope things will give you some some peace of mind. Thank you.”
