2 jurors dropped from Chauvin trial after $27M settlement

Associated Press  

MINNEAPOLIS — A judge on Wednesday dismissed two jurors who had been seated for the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer accused in George Floyd’s death over concerns they had been tainted by the city’s announcement of a $27 million settlement with Floyd’s family. Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill recalled seven jurors who were seated before the settlement was announced last week, at the request of former officer Derek Chauvin’s attorney, Eric Nelson. Cahill was careful to ask jurors if they had heard about the settlement without giving details, including whether they’d been exposed to the “extensive media coverage about developments in a civil suit between the city of Minneapolis and the family of George Floyd.” The first dismissed juror, a white man in his 30s, said he heard about the settlement and that he thought it would be “hard to be impartial.” “That sticker price obviously shocked me,” the second dismissed juror said. He said Floyd was an example of another Black man “killed” or “murdered” by police, and that he had seen Minneapolis police ride through the area near Floyd’s arrest and antagonize residents after someone had been shot or jailed.
