A court deposition in a sex discrimination and retaliation case in Hennepin County, Minnesota, has shed more light on the background discussions in which county attorneys expressed doubt over the prosecution of Derek Chauvin.

Mr. Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer convicted of second- and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd in 2020, was sentenced to over 22 years in prison for the death and another 21 years for violating Mr. Floyd’s civil rights.
