The officers responsible for George Floyd’s death have to wait until the Summer to find out their fate.
The State of Minnesota believes it’ll be better for the public’s health after the COVID-19 vaccine was approved.
The State believes “moving the start of this trial to June 2021 would reduce the public health risks associated with conducting the trial during the COVID-19 pandemic,” TMZ reports.
Prosecutors added that rescheduling the trial from March to June “would also reduce the likelihood that the trial will be disrupted by COVID-19 cases among court staff, lawyers, jurors, and witnesses.”
Although the state is ready to rock ‘n roll in March, they believe the three month delay is for the best.
The documents state the trial involves “a larger-than-usual number of participants, including four Defendants, their counsel, and dozens of witnesses” and “is likely to be the subject of large public demonstrations, which may increase the risk of community spread of COVID-19.”
Derek Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter. J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao are each charged with aiding and abetting murder and manslaughter.

Tiffany Haddish’s African Grocery Store Visit Sparks Debate, Is She a Trailblazer or Out of Touch?
Tiffany Haddish is at the center of controversy after a video of her visit to a grocery store in Zimbabwe went viral. In the clip, Haddish marvels at the store’s size and the availability of items like sugar cane and organic strawberries, which she seemed to find surprising.
The reaction from viewers has been mixed. Some applauded her for challenging stereotypes about Africa, while others mocked her for acting as if the continent lacked modern amenities. One user on X quipped, “Tiffany Haddish, the first woman to discover a grocery store in Africa,” while another expressed confusion over her reaction, questioning why she seemed surprised by the store’s offerings.
In response to the backlash, Haddish took to X to clarify her intentions. She emphasized that her goal was to “demystify” Africa and encourage more Black Americans to visit.
This incident follows another controversial trip earlier this year, when Haddish visited Israel amid ongoing conflicts, a move that drew criticism for its insensitivity. Despite the recent backlash, Haddish remains active, with her latest project being the memoir I Curse You With Joy, which has garnered positive reviews for its candidness.
In an era where public figures must tread carefully, it seems Haddish’s words continue to spark debate, whether she’s on a global adventure or sharing her personal experiences.
