Judge denies Derek Chauvin defense team’s acquittal request in George Floyd’s death
Fox News
The judge presiding over former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin’s murder trial denied an acquittal request Wednesday by the officer’s defense team.
The acquittal request came during the second day of the defense presenting its case in a Minneapolis courtroom after prosecutors rested their case Tuesday following 11 days of testimony that included video evidence. Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill rejected Chauvin attorney Eric Nelson’s argument that prosecutors had failed to prove Chauvin was guilty.More Related News
