George Floyd case

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis officer convicted of second-degree murder in George Floyd’s death, filed in November 2025 in Hennepin County District Court seeking a new trial or evidentiary hearing. The filing alleges flawed medical expert testimony, misrepresented police training, and faulty jury instructions, and cites 34 sworn statements from current and former Minneapolis officers asserting the knee restraint was taught and consistent with policy.
