$1.25M bail set for Derek Chauvin at his initial appearance Monday in George Floyd's death
Source: Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Unconditional bail for former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was raised to $1.25 million Monday afternoon.
Chauvin made his first court appearance by video feed, handcuffed in an orange jumpsuit sitting at a small conference room table.
Prosecutor Matthew Frank argued that the severity of the charges and the strength of public opinion against Chauvin made him a more likely flight risk. Frank asked Circuit Court Judge Jeannice Reding to raise bail from $1.25 million from $1 million without conditions, and to $1 million from $750,000 with conditions.
Chauvin and his lawyer, Eric Nelson, did not object in the short hearing, which lasted 15 minutes.
