Derek Chauvin Appeals Conviction for George Floyd's Murder to Minnesota Supreme Court.

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, has asked the Minnesota Supreme Court to review his conviction after an appeals court denied his request for a new trial. Chauvin's attorneys cited the same reasons as before, including the district court's denial of his request for a change of venue due to pervasive adverse publicity. Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison.
