One of the most reported on and discussed crime cases of 2020 was the killing of Black man George Floyd at the hands of White police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis. Chauvin was convicted in connection with the death and is currently serving concurrent state and federal sentences that are both more than 20 years.
Now he's seeking to have his state murder conviction overturned. Odyssey's WCCO News and Talk in the Twin Cities has the details.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:45)
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is again asking for his state murder conviction in the 2020 killing of George Floyd to be overturned.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:54)
Chauvin and his legal team argue the assignment of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to prosecute the case was illegitimate. They also argue that Chauvin's due process rights were violated because the Hennepin County District Court failed to convene a grand jury before any charging decision. Previous legal efforts by Chauvin have been unsuccessful, including when the Supreme Court rejected an appeal of his conviction for second-degree murder.
Two other attempts for post-conviction relief have also been rejected. Mark Frey, News Talk 830, WCCO.

Chauvin right now is simultaneously serving a 21-year federal sentence for violating Floyd's civil rights and a 22-and-a-half-year state sentence for second-degree murder.
