Elon Musk backs Derek Chauvin as he files new George Floyd conviction challenge

Derek Chauvin has asked a court to pause his appeal while pursuing new claims. His attorneys argue the original charges were unlawfully brought by the governor. Elon Musk publicly supported Chauvin’s bid to overturn the murder conviction. The former officer’s legal team cites procedural errors in their filings. This marks Chauvin’s third petition seeking post-conviction relief.
