Derek Chauvin jurors' identities will be kept secret

Derek Chauvin verdict: Guilty on all charges in death of George Floyd

FOX News Correspondent Matt Finn joins ‘Special Report’ with the latest from Minneapolis

Former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin’s murder trial for his role in George Floyd’s May 25 death ended with convictions on all charges Tuesday evening.

The jury, consisting of five men and seven women, reached its verdicts after more than 10 hours of deliberations following a three-week trial.

Chauvin was convicted of second- and third-degree murder as well as second-degree manslaughter after holding his knee on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes last Memorial Day in an incident recorded on bystanders’ cellphones. Floyd, a 46-year-old with a heart condition who had drugs in his system and resisted arrest, had been suspected of using a counterfeit bill at a convenience store.

The court has withheld the jurors’ identities facing safety concerns over what was one of the highest-profile police-involved homicide cases in decades. In addition to the 12 deliberating members of the jury, there were three alternates, one of whom was dismissed early in the trial.

DEREK CHAUVIN TRIAL VERDICT: EX-MINNEAPOLIS POLICE OFFICER FOUND GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES IN GEORGE FLOYD’S DEATH

Here are some details about the jury unveiled during the selection process:

Half of the jurors are White, four Black and two identify as “multiracial.” They were selected from a pool of more than 300 over a two-week period.

They ranged in age from their 20s to their 60s, and nearly all of them had seen the viral video of Floyd’s death, which showed Chauvin with his knee on the victim’s neck for more than nine minutes. Floyd begged for relief and said he couldn’t breathe. Bystanders pleaded with Chauvin to ease up and check his pulse. And Floyd himself called out for his mother and predicted he was going to die.

His death prompted nationwide protests which stretched on for months, as well as calls to defund police departments and crack down on racial injustice.

And although the jurors had been sequestered Tuesday night after their first partial day of deliberations, Judge Peter Cahill slammed elected officials for potentially influencing the decision-making process after California Rep. Maxine Waters, a Democrat, urged demonstrators to “get more confrontational” if Chauvin were acquitted.

Cahill that he wished elected officials would stop referencing the case “especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law” so as to let the judicial process play out as intended. He added that Waters’ remarks may give the defense a case for appeal.

Here’s some of the available details on the jury:

Juror No. 2 is a White male chemist in his 20s who was the only member of the panel who said he hadn’t seen the video of Floyd’s arrest before the trial began.

Juror No. 9 is a multiracial woman in her 20s and the niece of a police officer in northern Minnesota. She said she was “super excited” to get her jury notice and had a “somewhat negative” view of Chauvin after watching footage of Floyd’s arrest.
