If anyone hears that a lawyer has stepped up to take Chauvin's appeal, please ping me.

I have become something of an expert on USA death certificates because of the unusually high COVID fatality numbers.

The George Floyd death certificate that was introduced at the trial has three conspicuous errors. Each error violates a specific CDC policy.

The most glaring error is that the "Underlying Cause of Death" (UCOD) was left blank.

Without a UCOD, the "Manner of Death" - e.g., suicide, accident, natural, homicide - cannot be determined.

The Manner of Death on George Floyd's death certificate should be "Unknown," which, at the very least, would get Chauvin a new trial.

No lawyer will touch that.
