Derek Chauvin s legal team filed a motion that requests a new trial after being charged guilty for the death of George Floyd. The said motion was filed by Chauvin s defense attorney, Eric Nelson, on Tuesday in Hennepin County in Minnesota, more than a week after the ex-cop was found guilty. It cited multiple grounds for a new trial that includes jury misconduct.
It can be remembered that Representative Maxine Waters from California was under fire when Judge Cahill was not impressed by her comments in front of the protesters. Cahill said that Waters rhetoric tarnished the proceeding and can lead to an appeal in an event of a conviction and overturned. The comment of the California representative also paved the way for Republicans to censor her.

Insight: âIf we donât believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we donât believe in it at all.â âVirginia Woolf (1882-1941)
Perspective: âFor a would-be FDR, Biden doesnât seem to understand that a fundamental source of the New Dealerâs power was enormous congressional majorities. FDR came into office in 1932 with almost a 200-seat majority in the House, 313-117, after Republicans lost more than 100 seats. ⦠In the Senate, FDR had 58 Democrats, as Republicans lost 12 seats in 1932 in one of the worst senatorial drubbings in history. ⦠With his legislative margin of error so thin, itâs unlikely that Biden will get his way on much besides spending and taxes. Almost all of his sweeping proposals, from federalizing elections to making D.C. a state, will fall by the wayside.
