Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has asked the state Court of Appeals to overturn his conviction for the 2020 murder of George Floyd, according to an appeal filed Monday.
The 82-page filing lists more than a dozen aspects of the case and trial that Chauvin's attorney argues tainted the proceedings and rendered them"structurally defective," including extensive pretrial publicity and protests outside the courthouse, as well as the city's announcement during jury selection that it would pay a $27 million settlement to Floyd's family.
