Jury selection begins on Monday in the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer who pressed his knee into George Floyd’s neck as the black man said he could not breathe.

The fate of Derek Chauvin will be decided by 12 Hennepin County residents picked after extensive grilling about their views on police and the justice system.
