Derek Chauvin asks for new trial
By Tal Axelrod - 05/04/21 06:17 PM EDT

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was convicted last month of killing George Floyd, filed a request Tuesday asking for a new trial

Eric Nelson, Chauvin’s attorney, alleged that juror misconduct and pretrial publicity in part led to Chauvin’s conviction for second- and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd's death last year.

Chauvin’s legal team specifically cited the court’s rejection of its request to change the hearing’s venue outside of Minneapolis.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think that there are obvious reasons that a new trial is warranted.  Given the climate of the country right now, I doubt that a new trial will be granted.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

First trial was a disgrace.  Chauvin's rights were violated by many, particularly the moronic judge.

He is innocent, and had no business being charged in the first place.

The hell with the climate of the country.

This is about dispelling justice concerning the law.

If that cannot be done, we have no laws. Period.
