Derek Chauvin's attorney argued Minnesota should throw out his state murder conviction in the death of George Floyd in a Wednesday hearing.

The court has 90 days to make a decision on the appeal.

The former Minneapolis police officer was sentenced to 22 1/2 years in June 2021 after he was convicted of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

Chauvin was found guilty of pressing his knee against Floyd's neck for more than 9 minutes, resulting in Floyd's death in May 2020. The death triggered a wave of protests against police misconduct and a racial reckoning nationwide...........

Chauvin's attorney, William F. Mohrman, will argue that pretrial publicity "was more extensive than in any trial ever in Minnesota," and that publicity, ongoing civil unrest, alleged exclusion of evidence and "misconduct" from the prosecution led to an unfair trial, according to court documents.

It was unfair! smh...

Derek Chauvin has pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges, marking the latest in a growing number of criminal convictions for the murderer of George Floyd.

The disgraced former Minneapolis police officer and convicted killer appeared remotely in a Minnesota court on Friday where he entered a guilty plea on two counts of aiding and abetting and failing to file tax returns to the state of Minnesota for the years 2016 and 2017.

Chauvin blamed his actions on “financial concerns” that he said he and his now ex-wife Kellie May Chauvin were experiencing at the time.

“The true reason is some financial concerns at the time,” he told Washington County Judge Sheridan Hawley.

Chauvin and his ex-wife were charged with multiple counts of underreporting their joint income by more than $460,000 and of failing to file tax returns between the years of 2014 and 2019…….
