We’ve just been informed that Derek Chauvin, the now ex-Minneapolis cop who was charged with murder in the death of George Floyd, has posted bond and has been released from prison.
As has been widely reported, Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd’s death after video shot by a teenager showed him with his knee on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes.
Three other former MPD officers are also charged with aiding and abetting in the death, which ignited protests and cries for racial justice locally, nationally and globally.
Back in June, Chauvin’s bail was set at $1.25 million or $1 million with conditions. Court records show he posted non-cash bond of $1 million on Wednesday, Oct. 7.
Chauvin is bailing out today and is no longer at Oak Park Heights prison, but it is unclear whether he is still in Hennepin county custody.
