MINNEAPOLIS – Fifteen jurors have been selected for the case against Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer charged in the death of George Floyd.
Twelve jurors and two alternates will actually hear the evidence, but a 15th person was chosen Tuesday in case one of the other panelists is unable to serve when opening statements begin March 29.
That 15th person will be dismissed at the start of trial if the rest of the jury remains in tact. The panel includes six men and nine women; nine of the jurors are white, four are Black, and two are multiracial, according to the court.
They include a chemist, a nurse, a social worker and a grandmother. Here is a closer look at the panel, in the order in which jurors were selected.
