Derek Chauvin Files Third Bid to Overturn George Floyd Murder Conviction

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has filed a new legal challenge seeking to overturn his murder conviction in the death of George Floyd, marking his third post-conviction relief petition. His attorneys have requested a court to pause his ongoing appeal while pursuing the new claims. The legal team argues that the original charges were unlawfully initiated by the state governor and cite procedural errors in their filings. Tech billionaire Elon Musk publicly voiced support for Chauvin's effort to have the conviction overturned.
