Bridget Brennan Statement on Conviction of Derek Chauvin
The guilty verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin allows some light to shine through the dark cloud that has too often hovered over the criminal justice system. The verdict affirms the value of George Floyd’s life, but his senseless death demands an immediate response from those in criminal justice roles. We must do all we can to restore community trust and ensure a fair and equitable justice system.
