WASHINGTON - Today, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) following the guilty verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis Police Officer on trial for the murder of George Floyd. “While no verdict will return George Floyd to his family and loved ones, today we can say, there is accountability,” said Blunt Rochester. “Those shocking and painful images of Mr. Floyd forced us to hold up a mirror to ourselves and to our country. We have and we must be forever changed. And while today’s verdict represents accountability delivered in this case - it is now incumbent upon all of us on the federal level to build a more fair and equitable justice system by passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act in his memory. Our work is far from over, but make no mistake - today was a step in our long march toward justice.” ###
