said he intends to appeal on 14 grounds. Among them, he claims Judge Peter Cahill abused his discretion when he denied Chauvin’s request to move the trial out of Hennepin County due to pretrial publicity.
Chauvin had 90 days from his sentencing to file notice that he intends to appeal. In addition to his notice, he also filed a motion to put the appeals process on hold until the Supreme Court reviews an earlier decision to deny him a public defender to represent him in his appeal. All grounds that Chauvin raised in his notice of intent to appeal had been raised previously by defense attorney Eric Nelson as the case worked its way through the district court.Nelson had previously argued that intense publicity around Floyd’s death tainted the jury pool and that the trial should have been moved away from Minneapolis.
Chauvin said he also intends to argue that Cahill abused his discretion when he failed to allow Chauvin to strike “clearly biased” jurors for cause, when he allowed the state to add a charge of third-degree murder, when he limited the admissibility of evidence from a prior arrest of Floyd, and when heand request for a hearing to question jurors to investigate alleged misconduct.
I am assuming he doesn’t like prison.
People really need to accept responsibility for their actions, stop throwing tantrums, stop placing blame on others, and move on.
Most murder convictions are appealed
*Convicted murderer Derek Chauvin
Isn’t amazing how abusers can find fault in everyone and everything but themselves
I’m telling you this case was rushed and he will eventually be released. It’s coming.
Give him more time in prison if he thinks he wants a new trial
The judge did everything in his power to bias the court in Chauvin's favor, right down to allowing the victim's past behavior to be admitted as evidence but disallowing Chauvin's. Now he's going to argue the judge DIDN'T do enough to bias the jury?
cryborg We watched it live, no he didn’t. You are guilty AF. Accept that and let it go!
“The judge abused his discretion or erred during several key points in the case”? Didn’t think it was possible to despise this man more, yet here we are.
LockUpTrumpNow He should feel lucky he didn’t get the death sentence, how dare he ..
He is shocked he got in trouble.
Trump gets away with a coup and walks down 5th avenue without a worry. White cop murders innocent black man and lives in a bldg with black men without a worry. I don't get it.
If this man goes free the world will be disappointed
Insanity defense by Chauvin? Umfortunately for everyone he was able to drive to the scene and take command. The other 3 cops had it under control, Floyd handcuffed and unharmed
Yeah, meritorious appeal because no one saw him torture and kill Mr. Floyd in broad daylight.
morgfair Of course he is. He's schmegma
That guy even looks like pure evil.
Nah. Give up, bro.
Sifill_LDF
Appeals are expected in almost all cases...right? Nothing new...
Sifill_LDF Typical appeal.
These dismiss me killing a man due to a minor technicality defenses are something eh
Sifill_LDF He looks whiter with every pic.
Sifill_LDF Is OJ serving as character witness for Chauvin?
George Floyd posed a serious danger to the community in his deranged state.
The entire world saw what he did… there was no abuse of discretion or errors. The guy murdered George Floyd. And should rot in prison. The end
Sifill_LDF The. Nerve. Hope he never gets out.
Sham trial.
Derek Chauvin has a Constitutional Right to appeal. Uphold Constitutional Rights y'all!
Sifill_LDF Wld it be a surprise if he gets off? No sadly the law &the courts hve bn seded 2ppl who are partisan. I'll hope 4the best bt prepare 4the worst. The effort 2win a conviction was enormous & outsized. While ppl were happy it happened. Look what it took 4a measure of justice? 🤨
Sifill_LDF Epitome of white male privilege. Roll the dice on appeal, b/c he knows he has a shot. So, remember when Michael Millken did 10 years for insider trading? 2day we celebrate a conviction that needed a nearly 10 min video to corroborate. And it's being appealed.
Smilingl8dy Seriously? I don’t think his assumption of white privilege is going to work this time either. There is no “ Get out of Jail Fee” card for this murderer. Tough shit! No fucks given!
Doesn't everyone in prison appeal? I thought that's what you spend your time on.
The murderer doesn’t like it when authorities abuse their power?🤔
If only George Floyd could appeal the sentence Chauvin imposed.
Crazy-eyed white man.
Oh boy, he’s about to find out how the appellate criminal justice system works 🤣
China has no more use for BLM post-election. The BLM 'founders' have their millions and are living in mansions. This story is over.
Surprise. Said no-one.
He’s just trying to get out jail bc he’s in denial he lynched an innocent black man on camera.
All of us who saw it live, disagree.
who’s paying his legal fees?
No way in hell he wins on appeal. Even if by some miracle the decision is overturned on some technicality he’ll still have to be retried and he’ll be found guilty again. Murder in broad daylight on video in front of witnesses = guilty.
🙄 waste of money but nothing new. These white supremacists doesn’t have an iota what taking responsibility for your crimes mean.
