Chauvin had originally been charged with second-degree manslaughter as well as second and third-degree murder. However, his defense argued to drop the third-degree charge for lack of probable cause.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2382592\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2382592\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2382592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/AP21063710276422-296x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"FILE - This undated photo provided by the Hennepin County, Minn., Sheriff's Office shows former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.

(Hennepin County Sheriff\u2019s Office via AP File)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>This means the case will be sent back to Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill, who originally dismissed the charge. This could potentially delay the trial\u2019s Monday start date.<\/p>\n<p>The controversial trial is the first criminal case to be live-streamed in the state of Minnesota, and will begin with approximately three weeks for jury selection. Legal experts said prosecutors will need to fine tune their questions ahead of the trial, due to the extensive media coverage and now the additional charge.<\/p>\n<p>The state may have a hard time filling seats for the jury, as a recent poll found the number of people who believe George Floyd was murdered dropped 20 percent over the last year.<\/p>\n<p>Data from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipsos.com\/en-us\/americans-trust-law-enforcement-desire-protect-law-and-order-rise\">USA TODAY-Ipsos survey<\/a> released on Friday shows a rise in support for law and order since June 2020, with 69 percent of respondents saying they trust local police officers. Trust in the Black Lives Matter movement has dropped 10 percent over that same time period.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, both the state and defense will have to proceed will caution. Such a public, polarized case could be heavily influenced by public perception, but will ultimately come down to the evidence.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-graham-says-senate-should-spend-previous-stimulus-funds-first\/\">Sen.
