Today Civil Rights Attorney Benjamin Crump who is representing the family of George Floyd was a guest on SiriusXM’s “The Joe Madison Show” and told Madison he believes a first-degree murder charge is still possible based on newly discovered evidence in the killing of George Floyd, a Minneapolis man.
The nation erupted in an array of organized demonstrations and a number violent protests after horrific images of Floyd – begging for his life – as a police officer Derrick Chauvin casually snuffed out his life, as three other officers looked on.
Civil rights attorney and advocate Benjamin Crump, who grabbed the national spotlight representing the families of Trayyvon Martin and Michael Brown, both young African American teenagers killed at the hands of official and quasi-official white law enforcement zealots.
remember this officer, Derek Chauvin, worked at this restaurant, club doing off-duty police work for security.
We believe that they may have had animosity towards one another, and if that is ever discovered, then those charges, I believe, would and should be elevated to first-degree murder, because it can be substantiated,” Crump told Madison.
