Jury selection suddenly halted in trial of former US police officer accused over George Floyd death
The judge overseeing the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer accused over the death of George Floyd paused jury selection only hours after it began - to investigate a change to the charges. Derek Chauvin, who was accused of pressing his knee against Mr Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes before his death on 25 May last year, is currently charged with unintentional second-degree murder and manslaughter. The incident sparked protests in Minneapolis where it happened and all over the world and led to a US reckoning on race. Jury selection was due to get under way on Monday but legal experts said reinstating the lesser, third-degree murder charge would improve the odds of securing a conviction so requested the charge be put to the defendant. Judge Peter Cahill said he did not have jurisdiction to rule on whether the third-degree charge should be reinstated so prosecutors said they would ask the Court of Appeals to rule on the issue - meaning potential jurors were … [Read more...] about Jury selection suddenly halted in trial of former US police officer accused over George Floyd death
My son is a real-life Wreck-it Ralph – he’s destroyed 12 TVs and poured SOIL all over my new living room
AS we're sure all parents will agree, toddlers are energetic, rebellious and - most of all - MESSY. Well if you thought you had it bad with permanent marker scribbles on your furniture, then spare a thought for Shyama Underwood. The mum-of-four, 35, from Northampton, says she hasn’t been able to take her eyes off her youngest son, Jaxon-Carter, three, since he started walking at 10 months old. Since then, the cheeky tot's warpath of destruction has set Shyama back a staggering £6,000. If breaking 12 TVs wasn't bad enough, Jaxon-Carter has also done a spot of redecorating by leaving painted handprints all over the walls before pouring SOIL over the family's new living room. But despite efforts to discipline him, Shyama says telling Jaxon-Carter not to do something makes him want to act out more. She said: "Everyone in the family calls him Wreck-It Ralph because nothing is safe in his path. "From the moment he started walking I’ve not been able to turn my back on … [Read more...] about My son is a real-life Wreck-it Ralph – he’s destroyed 12 TVs and poured SOIL all over my new living room
