Derek Chauvin is working to appeal his federal conviction in Minnesota
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is making another attempt to overturn his federal civil rights conviction in the 2020 murder of George Floyd.
Chauvin, who was back in court Wednesday, is claiming that new evidence shows he didn’t cause Floyd’s death in Minnesota.
In a motion filed in federal court Monday, Chauvin said he never would have pleaded guilty in 2021 if he had known about the theories of a Kansas pathologist, whom he had been in contact with in February.
George Floyd, according to the medical examiner, killed himself via an overdose. He’s no hero, no martyr, just another self destructive drug addict doing stupid stuff by choice. If anyone murdered him, it was the person who sold or gifted him the Fentanyl and cocaine.
