comment on their decision to leave in place state court rulings affirming Chauvin’s conviction and 22 1/2-year sentence, San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
In October, attorneys representing Chauvin appealed to the Supreme Court to review his case. This appeal was based on the refusal of a Minnesota trial court to change the venue of the trial and sequester the jury. Chauvin argued that holding the trial in Minneapolis violated his right to a fair trial. He argued this was due to extensive pretrial media coverage and the potential for violent protests and riots if he were found not guilty.

Sorry, the doggone copy and paste didn’t work in the first paragraph. Here’s what it says.
(On Monday, the US Supreme Court rejected former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s appeal to reconsider his conviction for second-degree murder in the killing of George Floyd.
The justices did not comment on their decision to leave in place state court rulings affirming Chauvin’s conviction and 22 1/2-year sentence, San Diego Union-Tribune reported.)
cowards.
he should be able to appeal to the state
I guess Minneapolis can keep being the sht hole its become.
then again, otoh, they dodged nuclear bomb..IE: a do you want another L.A O.J. riot if his conviction was overturned? Minneapolis is full of azzholes looking for christmas riots, kids need free shoes and apple I-pods. Theres autozones and liquor stores to be burned down.
Minneapolis has become Detroit, only criminals and drug fiends will be left.
They should have held the trial in Duluth and then find him guilty there.
Not a surprise. SCOTUS wasn’t gonna touch the third rail for any reason whatsoever
If we had had this feckless, morally and intellectually confused, and utterly incompetent Supreme Court at the time, we would still have the Democratic White Primary and school segregation, and the Supreme Court would never interpret the Constitution since that authority was never granted to it.
I thik it is refusal based on technical grounds.
Exactly. The people around here who think that the "conservative" Supreme Court is going to be riding to the rescue as our society disintegrates are about as pathetic as those who imagine that things can be "fixed" if only the next election turns out the "right way."
People need to get a clue as to how late it is.
Yeah, right. They got this case right where they want it, all is buttoned up, and the guy right where they want him. On ice for a couple of decades. They’ll sooner all volunteer for root canal before they re-open this can of worms.
“This is terrible. They wouldn’t even comment on why they rejected his appeal.”
After Roe, the collective courage of the group of 7 has been greatly diminished. They were not afforded the protection they deserved at that time, so why would they take on another of the left’s carefully constructed tragedies?
Yup- complete cowards.
Cowards! They know the truth but are too cowardly to act.
It was obvious.
They did with Roe.
I think we have more than 3 rails now..............
Yeah.
