A lawyer for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin filed a motion on Tuesday to request a new trial for his client.
Eric Nelson argued in the document to the Hennepin County District Court that it “abused its discretion” on a number of matters, depriving Chauvin of a “fair trial.” Last month, Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in connection with the May 2020 death of George Floyd.
Chauvin’s legal team took issue with the court’s denial of their request to have a change of venue, its decision to not sequester the jury, and the fact that it reportedly “failed to accurately reflect the law” when it instructed the jury on the meanings of “second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and authorized use of force.”
OJ killed two white peoples with overwhelming evidence and Chauvin a white cop arrested a drug addict that died from an overdose and was convicted of murder… White people cannot get a fair trial in this country … a revolution is needed
At the minimum the trial should have been moved to a more rural part of the state where there was less chance of the blm supporters living and getting on the jury. First off anyone who supports blm is to not ever be trusted to come to a proper verdict based on the evidence. They are all liars and not one bit honest. blm supporters are not good people. It’s debatable if they are even people the way they go full primal at the drop of a hat.
because they are inherently violent that would intimidate the jurors that are civilized human beings.
