Derek Chauvin Appeals Conviction for George Floyd's Murder to Minnesota Supreme Court.
TL;DR
Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, has asked the Minnesota Supreme Court to review his conviction after an appeals court denied his request for a new trial. Chauvin's attorneys cited the same reasons as before, including the district court's denial of his request for a change of venue due to pervasive adverse publicity. Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison.
