As of Monday, six men and three women have been chosen to serve on the jury during the trial in Minneapolis. Of the nine jurors selected so far, five are White, two are Black, one is Hispanic and one is mixed race, according to how the court says the jurors identified themselves on their jury survey.
Opening statements are expected to start no earlier than March 29, followed by testimony that could take about four weeks.
Who was selected
Eric Nelson is questioning the prospective jurors for the defense, while Steve Schleicher is questioning them for the prosecution. Judge Peter Cahill is presiding over the trial.
Seven jurors were selected in the first four days of jury selection last week. Two jurors have been selected on Monday.
The first juror selected was a White man in his 20s or 30s who works as a chemist and said he has an analytical mind.
The second juror was a woman of color who appears to be in her 20s or 30s, according to a pool reporter's observations in court. She said she was "super excited" about getting the jury questionnaire form.
The third juror selected was a White man in his 30s who works as an auditor.
The fourth juror was a White man in his late 30s or 40s who said he had a "very favorable" view of Black Lives Matter. He also said he believed police are more truthful than other witnesses. The juror is planning to get married on May 1 and told the court that if he was selected for the trial it could delay the wedding.
"Go ahead and throw me under the bus with your fiancée," the judge joked. The juror replied, "OK, I will do that."
The fifth juror selected was a Black man in his 30s or 40s who moved to the US 14 years ago and works in information technology. He said that he had a "somewhat negative" opinion of Chauvin, that he strongly disagreed with defunding the police and that police make him feel safe.
The sixth juror was a Hispanic man in his 20s or 30s, according to the pool reporter's observations. The man, who works as a truck driver, said Chauvin "gave me the impression of showing off his authority" in the video of Floyd's death, and he also said none of this would have happened if Floyd had complied with police.
The seventh juror is a White woman in her 50s, according to the court. She said she has a "somewhat negative" impression of Chauvin, and believes there are biases against African Americans but not everyone in the system is bad. She said she felt empathy for Floyd as well as the officers because "at the end of the day I'm sure that the intention was not there for this to happen."
The eighth juror chosen is a Black man in his 30s, according to the court, who said he had very favorable views of Black Lives Matter. He also said he thought Chauvin had "no intention" of harming anyone, but he said he could put that opinion aside in this case.
The ninth juror selected is a White woman in her 50s, according to the court. She had a "somewhat negative" impression of Chauvin and wrote she "got the impression he didn't care about" Floyd.
Who was excused
If the defense or prosecution believes a person cannot be impartial in the case, they can ask the court to dismiss the person for cause. Each side has unlimited challenges for cause.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys can also move to dismiss prospective jurors without cause, using what's called a peremptory challenge. Chauvin's team is allowed 15 of these challenges and the prosecution has nine. These peremptory challenges can themselves be challenged, though, if they are based on race, ethnicity or sex -- known as a Batson challenge.
The defense used peremptory strikes Wednesday on a Hispanic woman who said her English was not great and on a Hispanic man who had martial arts training. The state raised a Batson challenge and argued that the strikes were race-based, but the defense disagreed, and the judge sided with the defense's race-neutral reasoning.
The state used a peremptory strike Friday on a man in his 40s who appeared to be white. He said he was an Army veteran who served in Iraq. Bystanders seen in the video of Floyd's encounter with the police, he said, likely raised the stress level of the moment.
