US jury found ex-policeman guilty of Floyd's murder

RIA Novosti reports.

It is noted that he was found guilty of manslaughter on all counts.

Now he faces up to 40 years in prison.

African American George Floyd died in late May shortly after being detained by police in Minneapolis.

One of the police officers held him down with a knee on his neck.

Police officer Chauvin was later charged with a second degree.

After Floyd's death, massive protests against racial discrimination and police violence began in the United States.
