He was found guilty on all three counts in the death of George Floyd: second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. Following the verdict, the prosecution moved that Chauvin&#8217;s bail be revoked. With the presumption of innocence gone, the judge granted that request and Chauvin was remanded into state custody. He&#8217;ll spend several weeks in prison before he returns for a sentencing hearing. The most serious charge could earn him 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Wall of Silence has come down.

This would be a perfect game for JJJ to find his footing on the court. The Grizzlies aren&#8217;t expected to upset the 41-19 Clippers at home, so a less-than-optimal performance from Jackson wouldn&#8217;t harm Memphis&#8217; record.<\/p>\n<p>New in Action News 5&#8217;s 5-Star Stories: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wmcactionnews5.com\/2021\/04\/20\/star-stories-history-behind-memphis-railroad-trolley-museum\/\">The history of Memphis Railroad and Trolley Museum<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Venmo users: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/4\/20\/22392274\/venmo-cryptocurrency-support-buy-sell-hold-bitcoin\">You will soon be able to buy, sell, and store popular cryptocurrencies<\/a> through the app<\/p>\n<p>Good day to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/memphispeanutshoppe.com\/\">The Peanut Shoppe<\/a> on Main&#8230; it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkiday.com\/17fbdb8ca5cc0f8f02e91a239562348b\/national-chocolate-covered-cashews-day\">National Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Redbirds tickets for the month of May <a href=\"https:\/\/wreg.com\/sports\/redbirds-tickets-for-the-opening-month-of-the-season-go-on-sale-wednesday\/\">go on sale today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to the Memphis Tigers women&#8217;s soccer team, who scored <a href=\"https:\/\/www.localmemphis.com\/article\/sports\/memphis-womens-soccer-looks-to-capitalize-in-surprise-at-large-bid-to-ncaa-tournament\/522-da3b0e6e-8d76-4766-832f-39fd27d24342\">an at-large bid<\/a> to the NCAA tournament.
