The trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin will begin on Monday morning. George Floyd’s family was joined by Ben Crump, attorneys and Reverend Al Sharpton for a pre-trial press conference. “Today starts a landmark trial that will be a referendum on how America has come on its quest for equality and justice for all,” Crump said. Crump said the settlement was only civil justice for the Floyd family and that they deserve full justice, including criminal charges. “This case is not hard when you watch that torture video of George Floyd and we have to call it what it is. It was torture,” Crump said. “And Derek Chauvin should be held criminally liable for the death of George Floyd.” Citing legal strategy, Crump also said the defense would try and assassinate Floyd’s character.
