At his first court appearance Monday, Minneapolis former policeman, Derek Chauvin, who pressed his knee on George Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes, was granted an unconditional bail of $1.25 million .
The conditions include Mr Chauvin not contacting George Floyd’s family, being law-abiding, surrendering his firearms and any firearm permit, not working in law enforcement or security capacity, not leaving Minnesota as he awaits trial. He appeared at the virtual session handcuffed and wearing an orange jumpsuit and a blue mask as he sat on a small table, with “Yes, your honour” his only words the few times procedural questions were directed to him.
Although further charges could be brought but it appears unlikely he will be accused of first-degree murder as prosecutors would have to prove premeditation, intent and motive, the Associated Press reported. On Monday, Democrat lawmakers knelt down for nearly nine minutes in a moment of silence in honour of George Floyd at the Capitol in Washington. Later, they introduced a sweeping legislation on police reform.
Granting bail to a murderer ? Smh. If he was black, he would have been prosecuted and sentenced to death the same day. Smh
Killing = bail? Is that comparable?
Bail? 😲
How did he raise over a million Dollars? Who paid for him? Was he working for some persons or group? He has got backing apparently
I can see bail? Does payment of this fixed amount of money means they gonna release him?
