Derek Chauvin murder trial delayed for decision on extra charge

• Judge in George Floyd case delays jury selection for at least day
• State supreme court to be asked to rule on additional charge

The judge overseeing the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer accused of murdering George Floyd delayed the start of jury selection on Monday for at least a day while an appeal proceeds over the possible reinstatement of an additional charge.

Hundreds of protesters rallied outside the courthouse demanding racial justice and the conviction of Derek Chauvin, who is white and was fired and charged with murder after he knelt on Floyd's neck when the Black man had been forced to the ground during an attempted arrest last May.
