Verdict has been reached in the #ChauvinTrial. Headed downtown to cover for @mndailynews. The city feels swollen. But thinking of Philonise Floyd’s words to @sarasidnerCNN. It’s gonna be all right.
We’re less than ten minutes from the expedited verdict announcement. @mndailynews

The defense is now closing. #ChauvinTrial Attorney Eric Nelson is reminding the jury that Chauvin is presumed innocent, per the law. The burden is on the prosecution.
This is in stark contrast to the prosecution beginning with a narrative.
