Opening statements are set for Monday in a trial with international attention, and for the first time, the world will be able to see every twist and turn of the case from a Minnesota courtroom, thanks to an unprecedented decision by Judge Peter Cahill. Many media outlets — including MPR News — will livestream the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, after pressing for access.

This is an MPR News morning update for Monday, March 29, 2021. Hosted by Cathy Wurzer.

Our theme music is by Gary Meister.
