The defence lawyer for the former police officer convicted of killing George Floyd has requested a new trial due to ‘jury and prosecution misconduct.’
Defence attorney Eric Nelson argued that his client did not get a fair trial due to publicity around the case, court and prosecution errors, as well as ‘race-based pressure’ on the jury. Mr Nelson also took issue with Mr Cahill’s refusal to isolate the jury for the trial or tell them to avoid all media, and with his refusal to allow a man who was with Floyd at the time of his arrest to testify.
The filing came as the impartiality of a juror in the case has been called into question after a photo surfaced of him at an anti-racism rally.
Publicly murdering someone is going to get you publicity!
Ha ha ya think wtf
It wasn't fair he murdered George.
He was never gonna get a fair trial, I believe the jurors were scared of repercussions for finding chauvin not guilty, just look at the reaction from the BLM thugs over the summer
