- Derek Chauvin asks Minnesota to overturn George Floyd murder conviction
Derek Chauvin has asked the state of Minnesota to overturn his convictions for second and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter related to George Floyd's death in 2020. Chauvin argues that his case should have gone before a grand jury, while acknowledging he still faces a separate federal sentence for civil-rights violations.
