Derek Chauvin targets George Floyd murder conviction with new claims his prosecution was unlawful

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of killing George Floyd, has again filed a petition to vacate his state murder conviction. On Tuesday, attorneys representing Chauvin filed a motion requesting the Minnesota Court of Appeals to stay his current appeal. Essentially, Chauvin wants the court to pause that appeal so he can send his case back to the local trial court to argue a brand-new claim that his original charges were unlawfully brought against him.
