The former Minneapolis police officer was convicted on April 20 of second degree unintentional murder, second degree manslaughter and third degree murder in the death of George Floyd. The motion, filed by attorney Eric Nelson, cites factors including"the interests of justice; abuse of discretion that deprived the Defendant of a fair trial; prosecutorial and jury misconduct; errors of law at trial; and a verdict that is contrary to law.
"Those include allegations of errors made by the judge, prosecutorial misconduct, witness intimidation and the impact of publicity. "The publicity here was so pervasive and so prejudicial before and during this trial that it amounted to a structural defect in the proceedings," Nelson wrote. Read MoreThe court also"abused its discretion" in not granting a change of venue or sequestering the jury, Nelson wrote.
Are you Serious? Another one? Damn being a white cops in America is like being A God in Africa. Invisible and Prividege. Smfh. They make up the Rules. What kind of Country have we become today?
He is a murderer!
Why can we all just forgive this man, enough is enough
Murder is murder disgraced cop. You commit the crime you do the time. Try be a man and stop your whingeing.
Set Chauvin free. Floyd is not a hero he was a thug delinquent. Screw BLM terrorist thugs
Definitely needs to have new defence lawyer. Was his defence payed by the state?
Guilty!! Shove his lawyer in as well
Honestly, what kind of system allows for murders to get another chance to escape punishment? ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERYONE KNOWS HE'S GUILTY!!! This guy should rot in jail and doesn't deserve a life outside of it
Why not show all the attacks by African Americans towards Asians? There is two sides to every story, you guys like every other giant mainstream news media are hidding the truth and only spreading false narratives. news AsianHeritageMonth dogearmy
Even if he gets a trail he will still be found guilty of killing another person. And don't he have a bad record?
hellll is waiting
Of course they did, we all knew this was coming
Hmmmmmm no !
Sick he did this before on the neck of that boy in his home. Why should any Judge feel he has any rights?
This was expected but I don't really see that a new trial will change anything.
Yes!!
The lord knows where your heart was when you killed George Floyd! With the devil! You deserve to be punished!!
Just send him to the general population.
His trial was too long we all know what he did
Look he will file for a new trial and becfound guilty once more so let him think he will get away wuth murder cuss he won't
See if you can find a neck to kneel on in the big house 🏠🙃🙄🙂🤣😂
Don't waste our money
Lock him Up allready
Jail ALL the crazy fers. We saw what happened. He killed GeorgeFloyd Next up, prosecute every person with a badge who witnessed this murder.
Doesn't matter if this guy in prison or not, he's still probably in danger and definitely be looking over his shoulders. JERK!!
Yes I would also want a new trial because jury found a white police officer or man guilty and that is not right since killing a black during traffic stop or minor violation or just for no reason is perfectly ok, Right?
Now this creep is expecting to get a new trial because he feels he didn't get justice? Where was his sense of justice when he was deliberately killing George? Ironic, right? Only justice here would be the death penalty. And his attorney is just an example that justice isn't there
Go to jail and do ur time when sentenced Guilty as charged
Albeit excerpts from the 4 page motion, but the reasons mentioned in the CNN article are trivial or over reaching.
👎
Speechless
Appeal appeal appeal....nothing will ever come of it. Go ahead have another trial. Nomatter which way you slice it.....HES GUILTY
If you resist arrest there will be consequences, we all know that! Resisting arrest is a behaviour not a color, So, DO NOT RESIST arrest. Simple.

He don't deserve to breathe.
What kind of SPOHW would want to see all those that were forced to witness the horror that unfolded in front of them yet again! WTF is wrong with these people!
The most glaring thing is the lack despicable of remorse...
Have you seen this? 😲😲
Hahahaha hahahaha he's an idiot. Rot POS
Its expected but will never fly in my opinion.
Baby World Emergency News According to the U.S. broadcaster WJZ on May 3 local time in Baltimore, a black man broke into a liquor store run by Korean women in Maryland and attacked them with bricks.
Unfair trial and verdict.
Full UNCUT footage from bodycams is out there. That was a 3rd degree murder that protests and BLM for-profit organisation and clickbait-thirsty media made it to a 2nd degree murder. He correctly files for new trial
What derek tryn to say is i had the right to kill and not get prosecuted because of the police immunity thing,so I'm confused,if I go to prison then everyone's immunity need to be revoked. Everyone: Shit better give a new trial
No
You waved your constitutional rights in the space of nine minutes.
Ignorance is bliss with a lot of these comments.
He might just get more than he bargained for; like 4 other deaths at his hand, money laundering etc
Why would ya'll take the family and the witnesses through all that again in the video don't lie Something is wrong that's arrogant And that is sick
All because 1 juror decided to not be totally honest. Now he's put himself in a position to be charged with a crime and possibly gave Chauvin a new trial.
And he has a right to do that! Fake news Marxist agency

He is not happy with outcome of a trial. I'm sure George and the Floyd family are not happy with a knee to the neck for nearly 10 minutes. Of course he is going to protest the outcome. He can. George cannot
He can keep trying to prove he didn't kneel on Floyd's neck in front of cameras for 9.5 minutes. Murder.
And I'm sure George Floyd's family would love to have him back after he was senselessly murdered but we don't always get what we want.
No! He's convicted

An autistic police officer....I never thought that would happen......he does not really know what is wrong only that his need at the moment is right.
There are more political prisoners in America than Russia and Iran combined BoycottMLB
This is first before the appeals start. No surprise
It is so pathetic Chauvin cannot accept the verdict like a man. Shows how much of a low-life he really is.
Cnn says no specific juror, I think it’s this guy. Also listed other things buried in the write up. Headline is misleading allegations of mistakes made by Hennepin Judge Peter Cahill, prosecutorial misconduct, juror misconduct, witness intimidation and the impact of publicity
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
NO CHANCE HE MURDERED ON CAMERA NO RE-TRIAL NEEDED !
The judge put this in motion with his rant about Maxine Waters. No surprise here.
Just die in prison. It’s your turn chauvin.
BrianDickstein
Nope! The jury has spoken! Guilty!
He should be handcuffed held down by 2 men while a third kneels on his neck for 9 minutes. If he survives maybe then be can appeal.
Let them step on his neck so he won't breath
So he'll just get re-convicted

Because a black man wore a shirt that says his life matters GTFO
I didn't realize there were so many lawyers on Twitter.
This a perfect example of the media reporting on things they should just leave alone in the interest of humanity and decency.. what is your reporting about the juror supposed to do cnn? Why are you guys fueling this appeal angle? Ya'll that hard up for more court coverage smdh
Who is paying his attorney’s bills?
Like Billichick throwing the challenge flag
They are just pulling straws to see what will actually work.
The family then should file for a wrongful death trial against the guy .....
Are you kidding..The whole world seen him Murder George Floyd
Won't happen - everyone calm down...
Because he is white and hates jail
😢
Why a new trial want change the fact that he Murdered a man in broad day light
Of course he will exhaust every legal avenue and in the end will be found guilty and still have to do prison time. No loopholes
Confess Derek.
I’ll bet Trump will pardon Chauvin if he’s re-elected in 2024, God forbid.
Do not pass go do not collect 200 dollars
Thank you to fat mouth Maxine and JoeJoe!
Maxine Watters did this.
Ok Eric !!! 😂😂😂🍸🍸🍸
Waste of time and money He killed George Floyd plain and simple. He should remain in prison until he dies of natural causes which may be someone taking his life.
Of course they did
He was man enough to murder a man who couldn't fight back, he needs to be man enough to serve his time...in gen pop!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 a verdict contrary to law? It was proven his actions killed George Floyd. It's clear in the video. You kill someone, you get a murder charge and go to jail. What law is that in contrary of? 🤣 This lawyer is living in a delusion.
Good. Do it all properly. That way there will be zero grounds at appeal. And he certainly can’t say he was improperly represented.
Judging from the comments a lot of ppl are going to be surprised when the Judge grants the motion. At the very least it will have to be strongly considered. This situation falls in line with previous juror misconduct cases.
Put him, in the general population, where he is being held, until his trial!
IN HIS DREAMS. NOTHING WILL CHANGE THE OUTCOME NO MATTER HOW MANY TRIES.
Of course
Trump initiated idea?
And this is why North Carolina won't release their video because they know they'll be done
Just waiting for.. Motion denied 🙅🏿♂️
Suuuuure give him a new trial in general population with no guard’s around
🖕‘em
Trishamott GTFOH!!! The defense knew about it but held it in their back pocket just in case he was found guilty. 🙄🥴
isaidfawkyou
LMAO
I wouldn’t care if they let him out, there are plenty people who would choke dis MF for free. He also must be stupid to want to be out but being in jail is probably just as bad for him in particular too...
