Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) says the judge overseeing the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was “way off track” in saying that remarks the congresswoman made to demonstrators before jurors reached their verdict could help the defense win an appeal.
“I’ve talked with a lot of legal scholars and lawyers. He was way off track,” Waters said on said April 24 during an appearance on CNN, referring to remarks made by Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill.
