MINNEAPOLIS: Derek Chauvin, the white ex-policeman convicted of murdering the African-American man George Floyd, asked on Tuesday (May 4) for a new trial on claims of jury and prosecution misconduct.
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has asked a Minneapolis judge for a new trial, court records show, two weeks after he was found guilty of second- and third-degree murder and manslaughter in the killing of George Floyd.
Published May 5, 2021 7:34am Derek Chauvin, the white ex-policeman convicted of murdering the African-American man George Floyd, asked Tuesday for a new trial on claims of jury and prosecution misconduct. The 45-year-old who knelt on Floyd s neck for more than nine minutes faces up to 40 years in prison after being found guilty last month in a case that prompted a national reckoning on racial injustice and police brutality. Chauvin s attorney Eric Nelson argued that his client did not get a fair trial due to publicity around the case, court and prosecution errors, as well as race-based pressure on the jury. The publicity here was so pervasive and so prejudicial before and during this trial that it amounted to a structural defect in the proceedings, Nelson wrote.
