The George Floyd case is BACK.
Recent legal developments have brought the George Floyd case back into public attention. A federal judge has granted Derek Chauvin's legal team permission to test samples of George Floyd's tissue and fluid. Chauvin's defense is exploring a theory that Floyd's death may have been caused by a heart condition exacerbated by a rare tumor, rather than asphyxiation resulting from Chauvin's actions. This move is part of Chauvin's efforts to challenge his conviction on federal civil rights charges related to Floyd's death. New York Post+4apnews.com+4apnews.com+4
Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro has publicly called on President Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin for his federal crimes related to George Floyd's death. Shapiro argues that Chauvin's conviction was influenced by societal pressures and political factors, suggesting that the trial may not have been entirely impartial. He emphasizes that Floyd had pre-existing health conditions and was under the influence of drugs at the time of his death, and notes that there were no allegations of a hate crime in Chauvin's state trial. Elon Musk has shown some support for Shapiro's petition, suggesting it is worth considering. New York Post
In a related development, Derek Chauvin was attacked and stabbed 22 times by a fellow inmate in November 2023 while serving his sentence in an Arizona federal prison. Following this incident, he was relocated to a low-security federal prison in Big Spring, Texas. Chauvin is currently appealing his federal conviction, claiming new evidence suggests he did not cause Floyd's death. Wikipedia+2theguardian.com+2apnews.com+2
These events have reignited discussions and debates surrounding the circumstances of George Floyd's death and the subsequent legal proceedings involving Derek Chauvin.
