    For the murder of Floyd, Chauvin is said to have been jailed for years. The ex-police officer is currently waiting for the sentence to be announced.

Derek Chauvin (45) was found guilty in the death of George Floyd († 46) – but now he wants a new trial. His attorney, Eric Nelson, has filed a new trial for ex-police officer Chauvin.

Nelson justified the motion, according to CBS, with misconduct on the part of the jury and with the fact that the court had abused its discretion because it had not approved the defense’s motions to change the venue.
