Breaking: Derek Chauvin Expected to Plead Guilty to Federal Civil Rights Charges

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is expected to plead guilty to federal civil rights charges this Wednesday.

Chauvin initially entered a not-guilty plea, however a court entry on Monday showed that a hearing was scheduled for Wednesday to change the plea, the Associated Press reported. The court system notified media outlets of the hearing and told journalists to attend.

Chauvin and three other officers were indicted in May for allegedly denying George Floyd’s rights to freedom from excessive force and unreasonable seizure, as well as for allegedly failing to provide Floyd with medical care. Chauvin was convicted of murdering Floyd in April, and video of the incident sparked nationwide protests and riots.
