If they knew each other at work that defence goes out the window.

No...that is not at all what that is.
1st degree would be "im going out of my way today to find George Floyd with the intention of taking his life".
There is no way that is what happened here because there is no way that Chauvin knew he would be sent to a call where forgery was suspected on Mr. Floyd.
The charges brought are the charges they feel they can prove...be happy with that as had they brought anything over reaching, its likely that the scumbag walks when all is said and done.
