Minneapolis

The former police officer who was convicted of George Floyd's murder has asked for a new trial, just two weeks after his guilty verdict was delivered.

'The roles should be completely reversed. My son should be burying me,' Daunte’s mother, Katie Wright, said before burying her hands in her face in her hands.

A policing practices probe in Minneapolis is being opened by the US Justice Department after a former officer was found guilty of George Floyd's murder.
