"I Feel Like He Deserves It" Tuscaloosa Reacts To Chauvin Verdict 

The verdict is finally in on former Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin. He has been found guilty on all charges.

To be honest, I was very tense watching the verdict being read. After seeing the footage of George Floyd being killed I just couldn't imagine another not guilty verdict in a major case such as this one. I can't fathom the grief, hurt, and anticipation George Floyd's family and friends must've felt leading up to this day.

After the verdict was read, I immediately took to the radio to not only let people know what the verdict was but to hear their thoughts. I can only imagine what other parents might be feeling. To know that it could've been their child who is no longer here isn't an easy thing to feel.

When asked about the verdict and how they felt, one listener, said she wasn't too happy about the situation and she feels like "he deserves it."
