Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in the death of George Floyd, is seeking a new trial.
In an 82-page brief filed Monday, Chauvin's attorney, William Mohrman, argued that it was impossible for his client to get a fair trial in Minneapolis amid the tense climate surrounding the proceedings and the pre-trial publicity.
He said the media coverage of the case "glorified Floyd and demonized Chauvin."

The judge should be removed from the bench for presiding over such a farce. This appeal should procee.d to a new a trial
Tense climate?
Are we British now?
I’d say endless condoned and enabled riots are beyond tense and into “intimidation”.
Pilate’s wife was the only one with an ounce of brains that day. When he got home, I could just see her go off on him, saying “I told you to have nothing to do with him, but you didn’t listen.” 😀
Exactly- unfortunately he will never get a fair trial because no matter when he does an appeal- blm will once again intimidate and threaten jurors who will cave to the pressure and vote guilty on all couints because blm won’t settle for anything less-
Facts don’t matter to the racist blm thugs
God even struck the george floyd memorial portrait on the side of a building with lightening apparently- it destroyed the mural
[[I’ve never seen a more unfair trial.]]
A close second was the O’J simpson trial
it was Fentanyl that killed the Beast.
They were but it is not going to matter. This was political, not legal. It was a sham trial. Nothing about it was legal or fair and impartial. But that is where we are as a Country.
[[I’d say endless condoned and enabled riots are beyond tense and into “intimidation”.]]
And it wasn’t just the blm mobs that were intimidating jurors- it was also governors (or mayors, can’t remember now) who were trying to control the narrative and to get jurors to vote guilty-
Chauvin is an innocent man languishing in jail for crimes he never committed- just because our country has caved to black racism
Might be a better idea to wait until this idiot administration is thrown out and the country is stronger, not as conducive to mob rule.
The only person who murdered George Floyd was George Floyd.
The sole mistake Chauvin made was not shoving Floyd into the squad car instead of letting him lay on the ground.
I believe now we are entering a time where that information comes out.
I remember that. I got some satisfaction out of it. 👍
he could have asked for a bench trial
a cop who doesnt trust the local judges
should find a different job
lol me too- Divine message that God is not pleased with injustice and honoring a drug addict who killed himself while others blamed an innocent man I believe-
He should be jailed for stupidity alone. He turned a scumbag of scumags into an international hero. Needlessly.
it is simply mind numbing how the left can turn a felon and total scumbag into a national hero- and it happens over and over again- that is one thing the left excel at- course it’s a lot easier for them to do that because they have the power of the courts, blm, antifa, and the press etc to persecute anyone that objects-
Definitely, deserves one.
>>self-adminstered fatal overdose of fentanyl.
I read the actual autopsy, past the summary, and concur. Dude had taken a fatal dose and was saying he couldn’t breathe well before the knee on neck.
