Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has moved for a new trial in the killing of George Floyd after yet another juror admitted bias in the case. But that’s only part of the reason why the former cop may get a new trial.
A photo of “Juror 52” wearing a George Floyd and Derek Chauvin t-shirts while on a trip to Washington, D.C., for a rally commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King’s March on Washington was discovered on social media. The shirt featured a photo of Chauvin and Floyd and read “get your knee off our necks.” He was also wearing a Black Lives Matter baseball cap. George Floyd’s sister and brother were among the featured speakers at the march.
