Derek Chauvin is guilty of the murder of George Floyd.
While the verdict was announced in the high-profile trial, all of Hollywood rushed to social networks to show enthusiasm or relief.
“A guilty #verdict.
But the fight for justice is not over.
We have a lot of work to do.
Other battles await us.
But NOW take care of yourself.
And take care of each other.
Prayers and love to the family of #GeorgeFloyd, ”tweeted actress Kerry Washington, before sharing a“ list ”of everything that remains to be done after this verdict, encouraging in particular to continue to“ pronounce the name ”of the victims of police violence.
Singer Mariah Carey first posted "Hallelujah".
A few minutes later, she added, “It's a start.
A little grain of hope for our future.
"
Still work
Because for many stars, there is still a long way to go. As actress Yvette Nicole Brown explains, there is still some way to “clean up” the police. “And it's not even a celebration. #GeorgeFloyd has been murdered before our eyes again. He's not here anymore. His family will never be reunited. And how many #DerekChauvin are there in the world and in the police force? There is more than one bad apple, ”she wrote.
A point of view clearly shared by former President Barack Obama, who however shared it in a more measured way.
“Today a jury did the right thing.
But true justice requires much more.
Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to ensuring every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied.
He tweeted.

It should be announced in eight weeks.
