George Floyd

8'46" here. I've heard various figures for the length of time. WP currently has 9'29".

In case anyone is wanting to write more about this case, we might want to think about language. There's a WP article called "Murder of George Floyd". Neither that article nor any of the connected ones explains what 2nd- and 3rd-degree murder mean in Minnesota law. I did hear the judge's explanation when the verdicts were broadcast. It seems to me this is not properly neutral. Legal definitions of murder vary with place and time. Most of the United States don't even have such a thing as 3rd-degree, and over here the terms mean something quite different. As far as I can make out, what Chauvin was charged with and convicted of would be only manslaughter over here, but I'm open to correction by someone with relevant knowledge.
