Copy shortlink: The Minnesota Court of Appeals will not intervene in the murder case against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin and postpone his March trial in George Floyd's death to the summertime as prosecutors had requested. The court issued a unanimous ruling Friday stating that prosecutors had not provided enough reasoning to merit its involvement, and dismissed appeals by prosecutors to delay Chauvin's March 8 trial and to hold one trial for Chauvin and three of his former colleagues who are also charged in the case. "The state has not established a basis for our review of the district court's pretrial orders," wrote Court of Appeals Presiding Judge Tracy Smith. "Because we conclude that these appeals must be dismissed, we express no opinion on the merits of the district court's rulings."
