Attorneys for the man convicted of murdering George Floyd will be in court Wednesday in the hopes of getting him a new trial.

A jury convicted Derek Chauvin in 2021 for Floyd's murder, which happened during an arrest in May of 2020.

The trial took place in Hennepin County, nine months after Floyd's death. Those are two factors Chauvin's attorneys will argue were unfair and violated the former Minneapolis police officer's right to due process.
