The attorney for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin filed a motion on May 4 to have Chauvin’s previous murder convictions thrown out and called for a new trial due to multiple recent incidents that prove Chauvin didn’t received a fair trial.
In filing his motion, Chauvin’s attorney Eric Nelson cited the fact that one juror lied to the court about his ability to be objective and that he was a supporter of George Floyd and had attended at least one public protest in support of Floyd. Nelson also wrote that the court violated Chauvin’s constitutional rights by not allowing the trial to move outside of Hennepin County and not sequestering the jury the entire time.

Brandon Mitchell, 31, was able to make it onto the Derek Chauvin jury after he checked “no” when asked if he or anyone close to him had “participated in protests about police use of force or police brutality.”
On Sunday, a photo surfaced of Mitchell wearing a “GET YOUR KNEE OFF OUR NECKS,” “BLM” shirt and a “Black Lives Matter” hat while at a protest against police brutality in Washington, DC in August 2020.
