Legal experts suspect that a Chauvin trial juror’s recently revealed participation in an event touting Black Lives Matter and supporting George Floyd’s family could lead to the verdict against former police officer Derek Chauvin to be overturned.
Brandon Mitchell sat on the jury that convicted Chauvin of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd’s death. Since the jury’s verdict last month, Mitchell has done a string of media appearances intent on helping “push for change.” He has also suggested that jury duty is an avenue for activists to “spark some change.”
