Minneapolis, Mar 8 (EFE/EPA).- The trial of a white former Minneapolis police officer accused of the murder of George Floyd kicked off on Monday, more than eight months after that African-American man's death in custody triggered violent racial justice protests throughout the United States.But the process of jury selection was delayed for at least a day when a snag quickly occurred over the question of whether the officer, 44-year-old Derek Chauvin, will face an additional charge of third-degree murder.Bystander-taken video footage of the deadly May 25, 2020, incident in Minneapolis, Minnesota, showed Chauvin kneeling on the 46-year-old Floyd's neck for nearly eight minutes while the suspect was handcuffed on the ground and repeatedly said he was unable to breathe.
