Attorney Eric Nelson filed a motion Wednesday requesting that his client, former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, get probation and time served instead of prison time, citing the circumstances of the case, Chauvin’s lack of criminal history, and arguing that the former officer will be targeted in prison.
In a separate filing, Nelson asked that Chauvin receive a new trial in a new location, on grounds including prosecutorial misconduct and juror bias, according to the Star Tribune.
