The jury returned its verdict on Tuesday afternoon after just 10 and a half hours of deliberation. 
As the verdict was read out Chauvin looked on with no visible emotion in the Hennepin County courtroom, where jurors spent three weeks listening to testimony about the day Floyd died - under the weight of the 45-year-old officer's knee - during an arrest on May 25, 2020.
Judge Peter Cahill thanked the jury on behalf of the state of Minnesota for not only jury service but 'heavy duty jury service'. 
The state moved immediately to have Chauvin's bail revoked pending sentencing, which will happen in eight weeks.

Judge Cahill did so and Chauvin was remanded into custody, and taken from the courtroom in handcuffs. On Tuesday night he was transferred to Oak Park Heights, Minnesota's only maximum security prison.
Chauvin faces a minimum sentence of 12.5 years and maximum of 40 years for second-degree murder.

Cup Foods, the store in which Floyd was last seen alive, shuttered its doors ahead of the decision.
President Joe Biden told the nation on Tuesday that the verdict sends the message that no one is 'above the law', as he demanded new action to honor Floyd after a killing he called a 'stain on the nation's soul.' 
'No one should be above the law.

And today's verdict sends that message. But it's not enough. It can't stop here,' Biden said.
Floyd's younger brother Philonise, 39, who took a knee at the courthouse steps at the start of the trial, was in court to hear the verdict read.
He hugged Attorney General Keith Ellison and https://pinfaves.com/peter-jackson-weight-loss/ trial attorney Jerry Blackwell, whose voice was the first and last heard by the jury as he delivered both the state's opening statement and their final rebuttal.

Jurors had not sent back any questions to the judge or asked to review any of the hundreds of exhibits entered in the course of the trial.
Non-essential courthouse staff were told to go home as Minneapolis battened down ahead of the verdict, with 3,000 National Guard members and 1,100 law enforcement officers keeping a watchful eye over the city that's been on edge for weeks awaiting the conclusion of the trial.
