The jury in the trial deliberated for 10 hours, returning a verdict of three counts: Guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.
Derek Chauvin looked shook as he was cuffed and dragged back to jail, where he was remanded as he waits at least eight weeks until sentencing.
