Yep, federal crimes only as I understand it.

Chauvin is screwed, blued, and tattooed, as Minnesota will never have a Republican governor capable of pardoning him.

His only chance at freedom is escape…

Derek Chauvin hires new attorney, plans to ask for convictions to be overturned

quote:

Derek Chauvin’s new attorney indicated in court documents filed late last month that the former Minneapolis police officer plans to ask for his convictions to be overturned or, in the alternative, request a new trial.

Chauvin was found guilty in April 2021 of second-degree manslaughter, second-degree murder, and third-degree murder in the May 2020 death of George Floyd. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his case in November 2023, ending his direct appeal.

However, in a petition for post-conviction relief, Chauvin’s new attorney, Gregory Joseph, writes that “grounds for relief in this Motion establish actual innocence, ineffective assistance of counsel, discovery violations … and related violations of due process and a fair trial under the United States Constitution.”

The 15-page petition alleges that the full details of the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s report and toxicology report were not provided to Chauvin until July 2023.

More at above link. I can't think of anyone who deserves a pardon more than this man.

DJT should pardon Chauvin for the federal conviction of civil rights violation.

It would seem to me to be a strong bit of shoring for the murder conviction on appeal.

In any case, I hope Chauvin gets the convictions overturned or a new trial.

Well…maybe. The national exposure Walz got sent him back to MN severely damaged. The state budget office just released projected deficits in the coming years after Walz and his Glorious Trifecta blew through an 18 billion dollar surplus in one year. He is very beatable in two years if the GOP runs a credible candidate

More good news for Chauvin.

Whatever will Tampon Timmy do if Chauvin gets a new trial and he gets released. The mob will once again torch his city.

Then he and his wife will once again be able to enjoy the aroma of burning city.

And it keeps unraveling. The ruling class of Minnesota is despicable.

quote:

The Minnesota Court of Appeals has partially reinstated a lawsuit filed by veteran prosecutor Amy Sweasy, who alleges that former Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman violated whistleblower protection laws after Sweasy’s refusal to charge additional officers in George Floyd’s death and add charges against former officer Derek Chauvin.

The ruling, issued Monday, allows Sweasy to move forward with claims that Freeman engaged in whistleblower retaliation against her for decisions she made during her tenure under his administration.

While not named as a defendant, Freeman’s successor, current Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, is mentioned in the ruling for her actions and comments after taking office.

I only hope they keep pulling on the threads and this entire Floyd scam which is probably only surpassed by the Covid scam in terms of damage done to the country becomes unraveled and collapses under it's own weight. Chauvin will never have true justice, that ship has sailed but he at least deserves to live the rest of whatever kind of life he can have in relative freedom.

Officer who lied under oath in Chauvin case, pictured using same ‘knee restraint’ in 2014…

https://revolver.news/2025/01/...e-restraint-in-2014/


Floyd died because he ingested a lethal number of drugs, causing his heart to give out. But none of that mattered once that infamous photo of Chauvin restraining Floyd with his knee, exactly as he was trained to do, spread like wildfire online.

Sadly, many people, including politicians, media, Hollywood, etc. contributed to this gross miscarriage of justice, including some of Chauvin’s fellow police officers. Among them was a police officer by the name of Katie Blackwell, who testified against Chauvin and later rode that wave of political theater straight to a promotion as Assistant Chief.

Pretty sweet gig, right?



There are countless miscarriages of justice happening in the United States today. Just look at what’s happened to the J6 political prisoners, President Trump, Steve Bannon, Douglass Mackey, and so many others. But no list of Americans persecuted by an unjust judicial system would be complete without mentioning Derek Chauvin—the ultimate political scapegoat.

Chauvin was sacrificed on the altar of political warfare and gleefully handed over as a pound of flesh to the left-wing mob demanding a scalp in exchange for George Floyd’s death.


Floyd died because he ingested a lethal number of drugs, causing his heart to give out. But none of that mattered once that infamous photo of Chauvin restraining Floyd with his knee, exactly as he was trained to do, spread like wildfire online.

Speaking of that, here are photos of officers being trained to use that exact move on suspects.

But none of that mattered. That viral image was the shot heard ’round the world—and it sealed Chauvin’s fate before he ever stepped into a courtroom.

Sadly, many people, including politicians, media, Hollywood, etc. contributed to this gross miscarriage of justice, including some of Chauvin’s fellow police officers. Among them was a police officer by the name of Katie Blackwell, who testified against Chauvin and later rode that wave of political theater straight to a promotion as Assistant Chief.

But not so fast – because now, Blackwell is facing down her own scandal—a scandal that reveals just how rotten this entire case truly was.

It turns out that Katie Blackwell actually lied under oath. During the trail, Katie Blackwell testified she “didn’t recognize” the restraint used on George Floyd, and that it was not trained.

But now, photos have surfaced of Blackwell herself using the very same “knee restraint” technique back in 2014.
