Derek Chauvin was the police officer who became infamous after the death of George Floyd back in May. He placed his knee on Floyd for over nine minutes as the man called out for his mother and for help. This arguably started the largest movement in history against police violence and systematic racism. Now Chauvin is standing trial on three counts of intentional homicide. If convicted, he could receive as much as 40 years in prison.  In this episode, Drew and Alex look into the first seven days of the trial. They look into how Chauvin is facing three charges: second degree unintentional felony murder, third degree “depraved mind” murder, and second degree manslaughter.  They discuss these charges and which one is the most likely to be successful in this trial. They also discuss the hypotheticals of what would happen if Chauvin is acquitted and the larger cultural context of this trial and its potential aftermath.
