Derek Chauvin’s lawyer seeks new trial, impeachment of verdict
Derek Chauvin’s lawyer seeks new trial, impeachment of verdict
Derek Chauvin’s attorney filed a motion on Tuesday for a new trial.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The defense attorney for the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd has requested a new trial, saying the court abused its discretion, and he wants a hearing to have the verdict impeached because of what he says is jury misconduct, according to a court document filed Tuesday.
Derek Chauvin, who is white, was convicted last month of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the May 25 death of Floyd. Evidence at trial showed Chauvin pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck for 9 1/2 minutes as the Black man said he couldn’t breathe and went motionless.
Defense attorney Eric Nelson said he is requesting a new trial in the interests of justice. He said there were abuses of discretion that deprived Chauvin of a fair trial, prosecutorial and jury misconduct and that the verdict was contrary to law.
A request for a new trial is routine following a guilty verdict and often mirrors issues that will be raised on appeal, said Mike Brandt, a Minneapolis defense attorney who has been closely following the case. If this request is denied, it can add another layer of decisions for Nelson to appeal. Brandt and others have said Chauvin’s convictions are unlikely to be overturned.
Nelson cited many reasons in his request for a new trial. He said Judge Peter Cahill abused the discretion of the court and violated Chauvin’s right to due process and a fair trial when he denied Nelson’s request to move the trial to another county due to pretrial publicity.
He also said Cahill abused his discretion when he denied an earlier request for a new trial based on publicity during the proceedings, which Nelson said threatened the fairness of the trial. Nelson said that publicity included “intimidation” of the defense expert witness, which he said could have a “far-reaching chilling effect” on the ability of defendants to get expert witnesses in high-profile cases, including the upcoming cases of the three other former officers charged in Floyd’s death.
“The publicity here was so pervasive and so prejudicial before and during this trial that it amounted to a structural defect in the proceedings,” Nelson wrote.
The story was headline news for several days in the UK due to all the video evidence, as I am sure it would have been all over the US. Where could this trial take place?
Should Chauvin win an appeal, it will give the signal that it is ok to kneel on someone for nine minutes.

How many minutes is acceptable to restrain somebody who is resisting arrest?

It IS okay to kneel on someone you pinhead. There is nothing wrong with kneeling on someone.
I know right?
Pay no attention to that! Look at Trump! See?!?! Isn't he horrible?

And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.
Mathew 7
7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
You would be happy with someone like Chauvin kneeling on your neck for nine minutes..

Am I going to hell for calling you a pinhead? I better stock up on some bottled water.
Like many leftists you pervert the scriptures.
God alone judges for heaven or hell. Therefore none of us can say someone is damned and going to hell. Only God makes that judgement.
But judging behaviors? We most certainly can judge the actions of others. In fact we are called to do so. How do you know to stay away from bad people unless you have first judged their behavior to be bad.
Floyd was a career criminal who had attacked and robbed a pregnant woman at gunpoint. God alone will decide if he goes to hell, but by God we are the ones who send him to prison where he belongs.
I would never be a criminal high on dope and resisting arrest in the first place you pinhead.
Are cops supposed to make criminals they are arresting happy?
Aren't you being a hypocrite, right now, judging her for judging?
See my comment in the other thread (and if you wish to reply, do so in that thread).
So its ok to call people pinheads or morons on this forum. I don't see the need to throw insults around.

Someone would have to make a judgement and call them a moron or pinhead. Its very sad that this seems acceptable on a christian forum.

Right. A judgement based on their pinheaded or moronic statements.
Yes, very sad.
Sad for over 15 years (that I'm aware of)....

Well, goodness knows I tried and tried to get Knight to permaban the pinheaded and moronic posters over the years.
Name calling (and for that matter, insults as well) is allowed on this forum.
Name calling (et al) without cause is not.
Yup. Exactly.

Matthew 7:1-5
Last I checked, those are things Christ Himself said.
These sort of insults are not allowed on the Muslim forum I visit. They are far more respectful.
