Supreme Court Denies Chauvin's Appeal in George Floyd Murder Case

The US Supreme Court has rejected former police officer Derek Chauvin's appeal of his conviction for the murder of George Floyd. Chauvin, who was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and manslaughter, argued that jury bias and rulings by the presiding judge deprived him of a fair trial. The Supreme Court's decision upholds Chauvin's 22.5-year prison sentence and marks a milestone in the fight against police brutality and racial injustice. Chauvin had also pleaded guilty in federal court to violating Floyd's civil rights and recently filed a motion seeking to overturn that conviction based on new evidence.
