Judge must reconsider third-degree murder charge in Derek Chauvin case, appeals court rules

A court of appeals decided on Friday that the judge presiding over former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin's trial must reconsider tacking on a third-degree murder charge, which was dropped in October.

Prosecutors initially added the count to Chauvin's charges after he was seen on video kneeling on George Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes in late May. Floyd lost consciousness and was later pronounced dead at the hospital. On Oct. 22, Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill sided with Chauvin's defense team and dropped the offense, but he retained the second-degree murder and manslaughter charges.

The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled on Friday that the judge must hear any additional arguments from county attorneys in addition to Chauvin's defense team on reinstating the third-degree murder change and that his determination "must be consistent with this opinion." The former Minneapolis policeman has the opportunity to appeal the verdict to the state Supreme Court, which may delay the trial.

Third-degree murder in the state of Minnesota carries a maximum penalty of 25 years and involves "perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life."

Anything to stop another riot.  It won't work.

So judges are prosecutors now, too.

Anything more than an Excessive Force Conviction is a travesty of justice.
