Ex-officer Derek Chauvin makes another bid to overturn federal conviction in murder of George Floyd
- Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is seeking to overturn his federal civil rights conviction in the murder of George Floyd, presenting new evidence that he claims shows he didn't cause Floyd's death.
- Chauvin alleges that a Kansas forensic pathologist, Dr. William Schaetzel, informed him that Floyd died from complications of a rare tumor, not from asphyxia resulting from Chauvin's actions. Chauvin argues that his guilty plea would have been different if he had known about this evidence.
- Chauvin is requesting a new trial or at least an evidentiary hearing from the judge who presided over his federal trial, after having his requests for rehearing rejected by a federal appeals court.
