Former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin has been convicted on all charges by a jury in the Hennepin County court.
The 12 jurors found him guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in George Floyd's death in May 2020.
The maximum sentence for second-degree unintentional murder is imprisonment of not more than 40 years. The maximum sentence for third-degree murder is imprisonment of not more than 25 years. The maximum sentence for second-degree manslaughter is 10 years and/or $20,000.
Prosecution moved to have Chauvin's bail revoked. Judge Peter Cahill granted the motion.
Chauvin was handcuffed in the courtroom and taken into custody by the Hennepin County sheriff's office.

Cahill said "eight weeks from now we will have sentencing."
Floyd family attorney: "Painfully earned justice has arrived for George Floyd's family and the community"
Attorney Ben Crump and George Floyd's family released a statement following the conviction of Derek Chauvin, saying, "today’s verdict goes far beyond this city and has significant implications for the country and even the world."
Read the full statement:
Painfully earned justice has arrived for George Floyd’s family and the community here in Minneapolis, but today’s verdict goes far beyond this city and has significant implications for the country and even the world. Justice for Black America is justice for all of America.
This case is a turning point in American history for accountability of law enforcement and sends a clear message we hope is heard clearly in every city and every state.
We thank Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and his team for their fierce dedication to justice for George. But it does not end here.
We have not forgotten that the other three officers who played their own roles in the death of George Floyd must still be held accountable for their actions, as well.
Judge thanks jurors for "heavy duty jury service"

After reading the jury's verdicts finding Derek Chauvin guilty on all counts, Judge Peter Cahill thanked the jurors for what he called "heavy duty" service in the case.
"I have to thank you on behalf of the people of the state of Minnesota, for not only jury service, but heavy duty jury service," he said.
The jury was then sent out of the courtroom.
