By AFP Staff The attorney for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin filed a motion on May 4 to have Chauvin’s previous murder convictions thrown out and called for a new trial due to multiple recent incidents that prove Chauvin didn’t received a fair trial. In filing his motion, Chauvin’s attorney Eric Nelson cited the fact that one juror lied to the court about his ability to be objective and that he was a supporter of George Floyd and had attended at least one public protest in support of Floyd. Nelson also wrote that the court violated Chauvin’s constitutional rights by not allowing the trial to move outside of Hennepin County and not sequestering the jury the entire time.
