Rep. Waters: Chauvin Trial Judge Was ‘Way Off Track’ With Appeal Comment
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said Saturday that the Minnesota judge overseeing the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was “way off track” in saying that remarks Waters made to demonstrators before the verdict was handed down could help the defense win an appeal.
“I’ve talked with a lot of legal scholars and lawyers. He was way off track,” Waters said during an appearance on CNN
“He knows that there was no interference with jurors,” she added later. “And he knows that this is not the cause of an appeal. Most of the time you have a case like this, they’re going to appeal it anyways. To say that I’m going to cause an appeal really is not credible.”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) With Derek Chauvin convicted of murder in George Floyd’s death, activists and the Floyd family are turning their attention to this summer s trial for the other three officers involved in his May 2020 arrest.
All three have already sought to deflect responsibility to Chauvin, by far the most senior officer on the scene.
Thomas Lane, J. Kueng and Tou Thao face trial in August on charges of aiding and abetting both second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill ordered that they be tried together, but separately from Chauvin, to reduce the number of people in the courtroom amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
