\n

In his newest fight against the judicial system, former Minneapolis police officer<\/a> Derek Chauvin is demanding the court reconsider his push for a new trial.<\/p>\n

Court documents say Chauvin recently filed an appeal against a judge’s decision denying his petition for post-conviction relief.<\/p>\n

Chauvin was convicted of the murder of George Floyd<\/a> in April 2021. Records show the former officer kneeled on Floyd’s neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds while he was face-down and handcuffed on the ground; Floyd suffered a fatal lack of oxygen to the brain.<\/p>\n

EX-MINNEAPOLIS OFFICER DEREK CHAUVIN, CONVICTED OF GEORGE FLOYD MURDER, FILES FOR NEW TRIAL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

On June 29, Chauvin, represented by criminal defense attorney Gregory Joseph, filed an appeal of a judge’s denial, made on May 1.<\/p>\n

“None of the claims raised in this Petition for Post-Conviction Relief warrant relief,” the 41-page order read.<\/p>\n

The judge denied Chauvin’s entire post-conviction petition more than five months after it was initially filed in November 2025.<\/p>\n

The petition’s arguments include prosecutors improperly relying on video evidence, jury instructions being legally flawed, and police officials giving false testimony among others.<\/p>\n

In the May 1 order, the judge repeatedly applied Minnesota’s Knaffla rule, which generally prevents defendants from using post-conviction proceedings<\/a> to raise issues that were already decided on direct appeal, or could have been raised earlier but were not.<\/p>\n

DEREK CHAUVIN CLAIMS NEW EVIDENCE SHOWS HE DIDN’T CAUSE GEORGE FLOYD’S DEATH, ATTEMPTS TO OVERTURN CONVICTION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The judge concluded that essentially every one of Chauvin’s claims fit into one of those two categories.<\/p>\n

Joseph was not Chauvin’s defense attorney for his initial trial, KTTC reported.<\/a> Joseph has represented him following his conviction and continued appeal efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
