It's been a complex task to pick a jury for the George Floyd murder trial

Former police officer Derek Chauvin is accused of killing the 46-year-old last year.

Floyd's death led to widespread Black Lives Matter protests across the US.

Chauvin was fired after a video showed his knee had been on Floyd's neck for nine minutes.

Associated Press reporter Amy Forliti says it was a tough task picking a jury, due to the high profile of the case.

She says attorneys and the judge had to question the jurors individually, to see if they had any pre-conceived opinions.
