Extract from criminal complaint charging #DerekChauvin with the murder of #GeorgeFloyd.

Chauvin kept his knee on George Floyd's neck for #8m46s.
#2m53s after Floyd was non responsive.

Even after he was told that there was no pulse, he kept his knee on George Floyd's neck. Image
#Chauvin charged with 3rd deg murder, manslaughter in alternative.
"Depraved mind": w/o intent to effect the death of any person, caus[ing] the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, w/o regard for human life Image
"3rd degree murder" doesn't exist in UK. Homicide here either falls into a murder or a manslaughter charge. Here an intention to cause serious harm is sufficient for murder; w/o that, causing a death through creation of dangerous circumstances could be manslaughter.
