According to CBS News , it was the first time that ex-officer Derek Chauvin appeared in court in person. Until now, he has appeared remotely from Minnesota Correctional Facility-Oak Park Heights. The other three former officers—Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane, and Tou Thao—have been freed on bail and have been able to make appearances as necessary in person.
