15:33Now PlayingAttorney General William Barr blocked ex Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin from pleading guilty in George Floyd's death.
Officials say Barr rejected the plea deal because he felt like it was too soon and that the investigation into Floyd's death was in its early stages.
Officials told the Associated Press that the former police officer was prepared to plead guilty to third-degree murder in George Floyd's death before Barr blocked the plea deal last year.
On May 25th, bystander video captured Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck, as Floyd cried out that he couldn't breathe for almost 9 minutes. Floyd's death sparked outrage not just in the US but around the world. Many activists called for the defunding of police departments across the Nation.
Chauvin is scheduled for trial March 8. He faces charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter. The three other officers involved in Floyd's death will face trial later this year.
Attorney Benjamin Crump spoke with #RMU guest host Ashlee Banks about the report revealing then Attorney General Bill Barrs move to quash Derek Chauvin plea deal.
