    当地时间8日中午,暴力执法致非洲裔男子乔治·弗洛伊德死亡的前警察德雷克·肖万首次听证会在明尼阿波利斯当地法院举行,德雷克·肖万目前面临着二级谋杀罪的指控。 德雷克·肖万当天在与法庭一条街之隔的明尼阿波利斯市政厅监狱,通过视频方式参加了听证会。听证会持续了15分钟左右,肖万在听证会上没有表示认罪。
    保释金上调 下次听证会6月底举行 在听证会上,检察官宣布将德雷克·肖万的保释金提高到125万美元,或者有条件约束情况下的100万美元,约束条件包括以后不得在警察系统工作,不得直接与弗洛伊德的家人接触,同时上缴所有的枪支以及许可证,还不得离开明尼苏达州。根据安排,肖万的下一场听证会定于6月29日举行。

    A judge on Monday kept bail at $1 million for a Minneapolis police officer charged with second-degree murder in George Floyd’s death. ▌bail 保释金 ▌charge with 控告
    Derek Chauvin, 44, said almost nothing during an 11-minute hearing in which he appeared before Hennepin County Judge Jeannice M. Reding on closed-circuit television from the state’s maximum security prison in Oak Park Heights. ▌hearing 听证会;意见听取会
    A judge raised Chauvin’s unconditional bond from $500,000 to $1 million when a second-degree murder charge was added on Wednesday. Monday’s hearing was a chance for arguments over the higher bail. Chauvin’s attorney, Eric Nelson, did not contest the increased bail and didn’t address the substance of the charges, which also include third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. ▌manslaughter 过失杀人
    Nelson did not speak with reporters afterward.
    Chauvin’s next appearance was set for June 29 at 1:30 p.m.
    Floyd, a handcuffed black man, died May 25 after the white police officer pressed his knee into his neck for several minutes even after Floyd stopped moving and pleading for air. His death set off protests, some violent, in Minneapolis that swiftly spread to cities around the U.S. and the globe. Chauvin and three other officers on the scene were fired the day after Floyd’s death. ▌plead for mercy/forgiveness 乞求宽恕/原谅
    The other three officers — J. Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao — are charged with aiding and abetting. They remain in the Hennepin County jail on $750,000 bond. ▌aid and abet sb 伙同…作案,与…同谋 Three auditors were accused of aiding and abetting the men charged with fraud. 有人告发三名税务稽查员与那些被控诈骗的人同谋作案。
    Lane’s family has set up a website seeking donations to help him post bond. The site highlights Lane’s relative lack of experience — he had only recently completed his probationary period — and his questions to Chauvin about whether Floyd should be rolled onto his side. It also noted his volunteer work. ▌probationary period 试用期间,考验期间

    Floyd’s death has ignited calls to reform the Minneapolis Police Department, which community activists have long accused of entrenched racial discrimination and brutality. A majority of Minneapolis City Council members said Sunday that they favor disbanding the department entirely, though they have yet to offer concrete plans for what would replace it.

    ▌racial discrimination 种族歧视

    ▌brutality 残酷;残忍行径


    “Nobody is saying we want to abolish health or safety,” Council Member Alondra Cano told WCCO-AM on Monday. “What we are saying is we have a broken system that is not producing the outcomes we want.”
    The state last week launched a civil rights investigation of the department. On Friday, the council approved a stipulated agreement that immediately banned the use of chokeholds and neck restraints and included several other changes. That investigation is ongoing.

    ▌chokehold 锁喉


    This version corrects that Chauvin’s bond was raised to $1 million on June 3 and Monday’s hearing was a chance for his attorney to contest that. The name of the judge and the location of the prison where Chauvin is being held have also been corrected.
