Iran Press/America: Chauvin, 44, is facing murder and manslaughter charges after a video showed him kneeling on Floyd’s neck for about eight minutes during an arrest on May 25.
He was released Wednesday on a conditional release and is expected to appear in court in March of next year, according to his notice of release filed in court.
Court records show that Chauvin, who was charged in late May and has been in custody for months, posted a non-cash bond.
Four officers were terminated from the department and charged in Floyd’s death, which sparked protests over racial injustice across the globe. Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter and faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted of second-degree murder.
The other three officers — Thomas Lane, Tou Thao, and J. Alexander Kueng — have been charged with aiding and abetting murder as well as aiding and abetting manslaughter.
It does not appear that any of the former officers have entered pleas in their cases, according to court records.
