Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin requests new trial two weeks after he was found guilty of murder and manslaughter in the killing of GeorgeFloyd

In the photo, Mitchell, a 31-year-old Black man, is wearing a T-shirt with a picture of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr on it, as well as the words "Get Your Knee Off Our Necks" and the letters "BLM" for Black Lives Matter.

In a questionnaire, potential jurors were asked if they had taken part in any of the protests against police brutality that followed Floyd's May 25, 2020 death. Misconduct from the jury and elected politicians demands that Derek Chauvin not be granted a new trail, but that his charges be dismissed with prejudice.Jeffrey Frederick, a jury selection expert, said Mitchell's answer may be "technically correct" since the Washington event was billed as a commemoration.
