Supreme Court declines appeal from Derek Chauvin in murder of George Floyd

On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal from former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, thereby upholding his conviction for the May 2020 killing of George Floyd.

Chauvin’s legal team had petitioned the Supreme Court in October, seeking its intervention in his legal challenges.

These challenges primarily revolved around the Minnesota trial court’s refusal to change the trial venue and to sequester the jury.

Chauvin contended that the choice to maintain the proceedings in Minneapolis denied him a fair trial due to pretrial publicity and the potential for violence and riots if he were acquitted, CBS News reported.
