Oct. 22 (UPI) -- A Minnesota judge on Thursday dismissed a third-degree murder charge for the former Minneapolis police officer who caused George Floyd's death, but maintained the other more serious charges.
Hennepin County District Court Judge Peter Cahill sustained Derek Chauvin's second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter charges, as well as aiding and abetting charges faced by three other former officers involved in Floyd's death.
The judge said he dropped the third-degree murder charge because the language of the law says the crime must involve danger to more than one person.
"The language of the third-degree murder statute explicitly requires the act causing the 'death of another' must be eminently dangerous 'to others,'" Cahill wrote.

Yeah I don't understand how he can be charged with both 2nd degree murder AND 2nd degree manslaughter AND 3rd Degree Manslaughter. Seems like Double (nea Triple Jeopardy) to me. Even with my limited knowledge, you get charged with a crime (Say 2nd degree Murder) you can still be convicted of a lesser charge (I was a Jury foreman where we did that), I get that--but how can he be charged w ith both 2nd degree murder and 2nd degree manslaughter at the same time.
Our Legal system is beyond confusing which says something in and of itself. Also a sign of how the system is used against you when you run afoul of 'the mob'

Seems like its going to be hard, considering the evidence, to prove he caused Floyd's death beyond a reasonable doubt."

Quite often prosecutors will charge multiple degrees of homicide. If the jury finds premeditation, they convict on the first degree. If they find intentional but no premeditation, they convict on the second degree. If they find no premeditation or intent, they convict on the manslaughter charge. If they find self defense or reasonable doubt on all elements, they aquit on all charges.
