Prosecutors overseeing the George Floyd case said that Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin had his knee on Floyd’s neck for about one minute less than what has been claimed.

On Wednesday, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman’s office said that his knee was on Floyd’s neck for 7 minutes and 46 seconds, instead of 8 minutes and 46 seconds that has become a rallying cry for many Black Lives Matters protesters and activists.
