Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was convicted in April 2021 of murdering George Floyd, has appealed his conviction, arguing that he was deprived of a fair trial.

His attorney, William Mohrman, filed a petition for review with the Minnesota Supreme Court on May 17, arguing that the district judge’s decision not to move the proceedings out of the city deprived his client of a fair trial.
