Former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin addresses the court as Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill presides over Chauvin's sentencing in Minneapolis, on June 25, 2021.
Mohrman wrote that the publicity, combined with riots, the city's $27 million settlement with Floyd's family announced during jury selection, thein a Minneapolis suburb during jury selection, and the unprecedented courthouse security were just some of the factors prejudicing Chauvin's chance of a fair trial.
He also argued that Cahill improperly excluded evidence that could have been favorable to Chauvin, and accused prosecutors of misconduct. The prosecutors, which include state Assistant Attorney General Matthew Frank and Neal Katyal, who was acting U.S. solicitor general during the Obama administration, are arguing that Chauvin's rights were not prejudiced.
In this image from police body camera video, former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin stands outside Cup Foods in Minneapolis, on May 25, 2020, with a crowd of onlookers behind him. They said in their brief that pretrial publicity had blanketed the state making a change of venue for the trial pointless, and that Cahill took extensive steps to ensure the selection of impartial jurors. They also said he took sufficient steps to shield the jurors from outside influences so there was no need to sequester them before deliberations.
Let me kneel on your neck for nearly 10 minutes and then tell me that your trial wasn't fair. If I kneel on your neck you wouldn't make it 5 minutes
That's his right to appeal but his argument is incorrect so 🤷🏽♀️worst of luck to him.
It 1000% wasn't fair and actual evidence was not looked at. That cop didn't kill George Floyd. The public and media outlets falsified stories to make him look like he did something wrong yet in the trial actual evidence was presented and dismissed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
GUARDDDDDDDD!?
They made a mural of George Floyd. It was struck by lighting and destroyed. So, they fixed it. It was struck by lightning again. I’m not a god fearing woman, but if that doesn’t tell you something…
This guy should go to jail for igniting a woke fire that nearly crippled this country. He’s just as bad as Wuhan Lab and Pfizer!
Even if George Floyd overdosed he still held him down and need on his neck for 9 minutes without rendering medical aid and let him die. So even if he's not guilty is he not still guilty?
Praying he gets his appeal and a fair trial 🙏
Convicted by mob rule.
It wasn’t a fair trial!
He’s not wrong.
He also died of a drug overdose so………………
If you call pushing your weight with a knee onto a man’s neck justifiable then you missed the definition of justice!
He’s a murderer. He’s where he belongs.
Least you got to trial mf
Those evil eyes
He got railroaded. The guy died of a drug overdose. But Democrats whipped everyone into such a frenzy that there was no way he wouldn't be convicted.
Nah, that ain't it bro.
He should have been charged with manslaughter - too many unknown variables for him to have been convicted of murder..
It wasn't. It was a public witch hunt and a democratic publicity stunt
Right but keithellison arguing you don't need a fair trial, he does not recognize U.S. law or Constitution. Too bad jimformn could not have argued for justice, given the office he ran for.
True
Murdering George Floyd wasn’t fair to him!
He's already lookin AB'd out... don't act like yall don't know what AB is..
So was the death of George Floyd. takeyourmedicine
I personally think the George Floyd thing was a circus, George was in no way shape or form a person to Martyr. However, we all saw the video and that dude deserves to be behind bars!
Life isn't fair so deal with it.
The MURDER wasn't fair
Edomites are always saying God's judgment on him is not fair. A knee on man's neck until after he is dead is what is not fair. Where is his evidence? Who granted him an appeal? Based on what?
He is right he was condemned by politics , cowards vote grabbers ,
Free him! He was doing his job stopping a violent criminal.
Derek Chauvin and George Floyd were both pathetic losers in that situation, pathetic, both of them Chauvin (murder) was worse because he had his knee on neck of a dude literally telling you he couldn’t breathe Partisan sheep support their side’s victim, whether Floyd or Chauvin
Derek chauvin needs to be set free. Floyd died from fentanyl and life full of drugs. He was the absolute opposite of someone to celebrate
Welcome to the real world where s*** aint fair.
It definitely was not fair.Cops have used the knee on the side of the neck for years.He o.d.‘Ed
“Wasnt fair” is the biggest understatement of the decade. Even if you’re a criminal loving democrat who doesn’t understand how many people die of Fentanyl every day, you still have to admit that his trial was biased as hell.
Nobody has killed him yet? Weird.
Well he's right about it not being a fair trial the autopsy said OD but jurors were scared there would be riots if they didn't find him guilty
Well, he's right, the trial wasn't fair. It should have been moved out of Minneapolis. I'd still vote to convict, because he had no reason to keep a knee on a guy who was handcuffed behind his back and prone, whether it killed him or not.
It wasn’t
This isn’t even news. Criminals always appeal their convictions after harsh sentences.
Why is this killer still in the news ?
And it wasn’t. Couldn’t get a fair trial there
Lol he wants to talk about fair treatment all of a sudden.
They already got their victory in the show trial. Hopefully this innocent cop gets released and cleared upon appeal now that the entire machine isn't focus on sacrificing him to the fat black lesbians running BLM so they'll stop burning down the local Walgreens.
Chauvin needs to rot in jail for the rest of his life.
You can give him as many trials as he asks for, they are all going to end the same way when people see the video of him strangling a dude for nine minutes.
