Derek Chauvin hires new attorney, plans to ask for convictions to be overturned
https://alphanews.org/derek-chauvin-hires-new-attorney-plans-to-ask-for-convictions-to-be-overturned/
Derek Chauvin’s new attorney indicated in court documents filed late last month that the former Minneapolis police officer plans to ask for his convictions to be overturned or, in the alternative, request a new trial.
Chauvin was found guilty in April 2021 of second-degree manslaughter, second-degree murder, and third-degree murder in the May 2020 death of George Floyd. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his case in November 2023, ending his direct appeal.
However, in a petition for post-conviction relief, Chauvin’s new attorney, Gregory Joseph, writes that “grounds for relief in this Motion establish actual innocence, ineffective assistance of counsel, discovery violations … and related violations of due process and a fair trial under the United States Constitution.”
