Update 8:04 p.m. EDT April 20: U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement that the jury in the trial of Derek Chauvin has “fulfilled its civic duty and rendered a verdict convicting him on all counts.”
 
Garland added that the Justice Department’s federal civil rights investigation into the May 2020 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis “is ongoing.”
