Minnesota Attorney General (AG) Keith Ellison admitted that he "felt a little bad" for the convicted former Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin.
The lead prosecutor in Derek Chauvin's murder trial made the admission during his interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday, New York Post reported.
When asked about his reaction to the guilty verdict last week, he said he was grateful, humbled, and with "a certain sense of, I'll say satisfaction."
The Minnesota AG then added: "I spent 16 years as a criminal defense lawyer, so, I will admit, I felt a little bad for the defendant... I think he deserved to be convicted. But he's a human being."
