Chauvin’s Legal Team Allowed Avenue For Appeal, Will Examine George Floyd’s Heart Tissue

A forensic pathologist says Floyd died of heart failure, not Chauvin's restraint measures.


A judge on Monday approved the examination of George Floyd’s heart tissue and bodily fluids, offering a potential legal avenue for appeal in the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
Chauvin was found guilty in the contentious and highly-publicized case concerning the death of George Floyd and is currently serving a 20-plus year sentence for second-degree murder.

Chauvin’s new defense attorney, Robert Meyers, filed a motion last week to explore samples taken during Floyd’s autopsy on the basis that Chauvin was given “ineffective assistance of counsel” under his last attorney, Eric Nelson.
