Derek Chauvin, the former Minnesota police officer wrongfully convicted in the death of life-long drug addict and criminal George Floyd, has yesterday filed an appeal for post-conviction relief with the state courts. The arguments for relief include, some never previously argued on appeal, include: (1) Chauvin’s police officer superiors lied about his training to argue criminal intent, (2) The state medical experts used pseudo-science to fabricate claims that Chauvin caused Floyd’s death; (3) The jury instructions were defective allowing an impermissible non-unanimous verdict of guilty.
