Derek Chauvin’s attorney files motion for a new trial claiming jury misconduct and abuse of discretion by judge just two weeks after cop was found guilty of murdering George Floyd
Derek Chauvin’s attorney has filed a motion for a new trial claiming ‘jury misconduct’ just two weeks after he was found guilty of murdering George Floyd.
Attorney Eric Nelson wrote that an abuse of discretion ‘deprived [Chauvin] of a fair trial’ in the motion filed in Hennepin County District Court in Minnesota.
The Court abused its discretion when it denied Defendant’s motion for a change of venue … in violation of Mr. Chauvin’s constitutional rights to a due process and a fair trial,’ Nelson wrote.
