Second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter charges have been filed against Chauvin. He has not yet entered a plea.
Floyd, a black man, died on Memorial Day after he was pinned down by Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, who prosecutors say held his knee on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes.

As Floyd was pinned down, his pleas for help, telling the officer,"I can't breathe," was caught on cell phone video by a bystander. Floyd's death has sparked outrage, protests and calls for police reform in Minneapolis, across the United States and around the world.
Derek Chauvin was booked into the Hennepin County Jail after being transferred from the Ramsey County Jail.Floyd's brother, Terrence Floyd, last week urged protesters to avoid destroying their own cities.
