Derek Chauvin’s Attorney Argues for Overturn of Conviction in George Floyd Murder Trial

Derek Chauvin's attorney argued in an appeals court that his client was deprived of a fair trial due to legal and procedural errors. Chauvin was convicted in April of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, a Black man. The appeals court did not immediately rule on Chauvin’s attorney’s request to overturn the conviction, and is expected to issue a written opinion in the coming weeks.
