The defense attorney for Derek Chauvin filed a motion for a new trial Tuesday, a move that comes after the former Minneapolis police officer was found guilty of murder in the death of George Floyd.
Attorney Eric Nelson called for a new trial in the court filing on several grounds, including an accusation that the court violated Chauvin’s right to due process and fair trial when the court decided against sequestering the jury and granting a venue change. From the filing:
