ISU Criminal Justice Sciences Professor Miltonette Craig.

Those around the nation glued to radios and TV screens for the last several weeks during the murder trial of Derek Chauvin are breathing a sigh of relief that it is over and that some of the lingering tensions over police and minorities in the nation have subsided for a little while. Now comes the effort to find or assign a meaning to it that is more than a single case.

ISU Criminal Justice Sciences Professor Miltonette Craig kept track of the case for professional and personal reasons. She is African American. Craig says the case was extremely important.
