BREAKING: The jury has found Derek Chauvin guilty of all murder and manslaughter charges for the police killing of #GeorgeFloyd.

He faces a maximum 75 years in prison.

After Derek Chauvin was convicted for the murder of #GeorgeFloyd, people are thanking Darnella Frazier — the teenager who filmed the police killing:

Crowds gathered at George Floyd square in Minneapolis and outside the courthouse chanted “All three counts!” and applauded and wept after Derek Chauvin was convicted on all charges in the murder trial of #GeorgeFloyd.

Derek Chauvin’s bail was immediately revoked as he was led out of the courthouse in handcuffs.

Chauvin will be sentenced in two months. He faces a maximum of 75 years in prison.

The three other officers involved in #GeorgeFloyd's killing will face trial on Aug. 23.

Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng face charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

They each face up to 40 years in prison if convicted.
