A trial with huge local, national and international attention began as trials typically do, with jury selection. But the circumstances are far from typical.

This week, we begin a new Saturday edition of Minnesota Today to bring you the highlights and takeaways from the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd.

Hosted by Nina Moini. Our theme music is by Gary Meister.
