Derek Chauvin hires new lawyer to appeal conviction in murder of George Floyd
Fox News
Disgraced Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has tapped a new attorney to handle the appeal of his conviction in April, when he was found guilty in the death of George Floyd, according to court documents released Monday.
Chauvin filed documents last month saying he intends to appeal his conviction and sentence on 14 grounds, including that he believes his trial should have been moved from Hennepin County and that the jury should have been sequestered.
Separately, Chauvin is also charged in federal court with violating Floyd’s civil rights when he knelt on the Black man’s neck for about 9 1/2 minutes as Floyd was facedown on the pavement, not resisting and pleading for air. He has pleaded not guilty to those charges.
