I don’t think Trump can pardon someone convicted of state law.

You are correct. The president cannot pardon someone for state crimes. However, Chauvin was also convicted of two federal offenses so Trump could pardon him. But I doubt he will, as that will not really help Chauvin and it will cause an unnecessary fire storm.

“I don’t think Trump can pardon someone convicted of state law.”

Can he parole him?

Wasn’t the case elevated to a federal “hate crime” conviction?

In that case, TRump would definitely have jurisdiction.

Keith Ellison railroaded Chauvin.

Investigate Ellison for violating Chauvins right to a fair trial and go from there.
