Derek Chauvin screen grab
The man who was convicted of murdering George Floyd lost his appeal.
Derek Chauvin, who was found guilty on murder charges in 2021, appealed in a last-ditch effort to revoke his conviction.
The news was posted by Supreme Court lawyer and former DOJ official Neal Katyal, who wrote, "In our case prosecuting the George Floyd murder, proud to say the Minnesota Supreme Court has just denied Derek Chauvin’s appeal."
He added that he has "gratitude to an extraordinary trial team led by" Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison "and a group of phenomenal lawyers."
"A true dream team," Katyal wrote Tuesday.
