Prospective jurors in George Floyd's murder trial are asked to weigh in on Black Lives Matter protests


(CNN) Prospective jurors in the upcoming criminal trial stemming from George Floyd's death were sent a questionnaire asking them to weigh in on Black Lives Matter protests and their views on policing. The 16-page questionnaire, filed in Minnesota district court on Tuesday , asks prospective jurors to answer how many times they have seen the video of Floyd's death, their prior interactions with police and their views on defunding the police and racial discrimination. "Did you, or someone close to you, participate in any of the demonstrations or marches against police brutality that took place in Minneapolis after George Floyd's death?" The questionnaire comes three months ahead of the criminal trial for four former Minneapolis Police officers accused of contributing to Floyd's death. Floyd's final moments were captured on video, and his death led to rioting and fires in the city as well as widespread protests against police brutality and racism.
