Derek Chauvin faces up to 40 years in prison after he was found guilty of murder last month
Derek Chauvin, the former US police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, has asked for a new trial on claims of jury and prosecution misconduct.
The 45-year-old - who knelt on Mr Floyd s neck for more than nine minutes during an arrest in Minneapolis last year - faces up to 40 years in prison after being found guilty last month.
Chauvin s 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.
