What do the George Floyd autopsies show?
The case of the death of George Floyd saw a big development on Monday that will be key when former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is put on trial. The results of two different autopsies were announced: one performed by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, and another by independent medical examiners hired by the Floyd family.
