A judge dismissed the third-degree murder charge against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin but ruled that he still had to face second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the death of George Floyd, according to a court ruling.

Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill disclosed the decisions in a court ruling made public on Thursday.
