An attorney for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted in the 2020 death of George Floyd, said Saturday that federal prison officials did not inform his family after he was stabbed in prison.

The lawyer, Gregory M. Erickson, slammed the lack of transparency by the Federal Bureau of Prisons a day after his client was stabbed on Friday by another inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona, a prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages.
