When former police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder in the killing of George Floyd this week, the jury’s decision reverberated far beyond Minneapolis. Protests anticipated across America were replaced by sighs of cautious relief. Police leaders praised the verdict, as did world leaders. For Mark Collins, watching the verdict in his Ohio law office, it meant something else. Collins, a defense attorney who has long represented police officers, said he is now rewriting how he will defend officers charged with murder, including one set to stand trial within months. “The first thing I’m going to say is, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we believe the Chauvin trial was fair and just. Our case is different and unique,’ ” Collins said. “The challenge will be to differentiate the case because the first thing they are going to ask themselves is if they are dealing with another Chauvin.”
