Chauvin’s Murder of Floyd Was a Crime Against Humanity

Chauvin’s Murder of Floyd Was a Crime Against Humanity

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

After noting Chauvin's convictions, Oh argues that "[t]he crime that the jury should have been able to consider and deliberate upon, however, is one that they had no jurisdiction to enforce—a crime against humanity, specifically, the crime of apartheid."

Ultimately, recognizing Floyd's murder as a crime against humanity is "about clearly connecting racist policing and the persistence of racial segregation, so that we can transform policing rather than merely seeking individual accountability for individual police officers like Chauvin."
