Supreme Court refuses to hear appeal from ex-Minnesota cop Derek Chauvin

The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from Derek Chauvin, the former Minnesota police officer convicted in the murder of George Floyd. Chauvin's legal team argued that his trial was held during a politically tense time, and that the jury may have been influenced by the fear of violent protests in the event of an acquittal. The Minnesota Supreme Court also declined to take up the case, effectively upholding Chauvin's conviction. Chauvin is currently serving a prison sentence of more than two decades.
