Judge Jeannice M. Reding set bail for Derek Chauvin at $1 million with conditions during a court hearing Monday, making the former Minneapolis police officer eligible for supervised release.
Chauvin, who is white, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of George Floyd, a black man.
Chauvin, 44, faces a charge of second-degree murder in Floyd's death, along with two lesser counts: third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
Eyewitness video from the police encounter with Floyd on Memorial Day shows that Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for nearly 9 minutes, including at least 2 minutes in which Floyd was unresponsive.
As Chauvin appeared in court, Floyd was being remembered at an hours-long memorial service Monday in his hometown of Houston.
