Minneapolis firm to represent Chauvin for expected appeal
Derek Chauvin[Minnesota Department of Corrections]
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has found an attorney to represent him for his expected appeal of his conviction in George Floyd’s murder.
Chauvin was convicted of second- and third-degree murder as well as second-degree manslaughter.
He was sentenced to more than 22 years in prison.
Earlier this month, the Minnesota Supreme Court denied Chauvin’s request for a public defender. Chauvin stated his debts exceed his assets, leaving him to represent himself because he wouldn’t be able to cover attorney’s fees.
In a new filing, the law firm Mohrman, Kaardal & Erickson, P.A. states it will appear on Chauvin’s behalf. Attorney William Mohrman specifically filed the document.
