The same day Minnesota Court of Appeals judges questioned arguments that Derek Chauvin shouldn t be charged with third-degree murder, the state Supreme Court agreed to review the conviction of another ex-Minneapolis police officer that could potentially affect next week s trial in the death of George Floyd.
Shortly after prosecutors asked the state Court of Appeals to reinstate the charge against Chauvin, the state Supreme Court agreed to hear Mohamed Noor s appeal of his third-degree murder conviction in the 2017 shooting death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond. Oral arguments are scheduled for June.
In Chauvin s case, prosecutors are racing the clock to reinstate the third-degree murder charge against the ex-officer, who already faces second-degree murder and manslaughter charges. In Noor s case, he is seeking to have the conviction dismissed and be sentenced on the lesser conviction of manslaughter.
