Derek Chauvin Continues Fight to Overturn Federal Conviction in George Floyd's Killing
TL;DR
Former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin has filed a motion to vacate his federal conviction in the death of George Floyd, stating that he wouldn't have pleaded guilty if he had known about the theories of a pathologist who doesn't believe Chauvin's actions caused Floyd's death. Chauvin was sentenced to 21 years on federal charges in July 2022 after a plea deal. The motion argues that if Chauvin had been provided with certain evidence prior to his guilty plea, he would have insisted on going to trial.
