At this time of year, we’re inundated with “best-of” lists and lookbacks at the big news stories of the past twelve months. On Minnesota Now, we’re reexamining 2021 through the eyes of key Minnesota newsmakers.

One of the biggest stories in the nation this year happened in Minnesota. It was the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. Chauvin was found guilty on three charges.

Steve Schleicher, a partner at Maslon LLP, was one of four attorneys from private practice selected to serve on a pro bono basis as part of the larger prosecution team, which also included representatives from the Office of the Attorney General of Minnesota and the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office.

Schleicher sat down with host Cathy Wurzer to look back at the trial and forward to 2022.
