A day after prosecutors told a judge they were seeking a harsher sentence for Derek Chauvin, the ex-cop who killed George Floyd in front of the whole world, has asked to have the murder charges dismissed.
According to the Daily Mail, Chauvin’s attorney filed a motion in court stating there was no probable cause to support the murder and second-degree manslaughter charges. The documentation claimed the fentanyl in George Floyd’s system caused his death instead of the prolonged pressure from Chauvin kneeling on his neck for 8 minutes. Additionally, it stated several pre-existing conditions contributed to his death.
‘If [Mr. Floyd] was found dead at home alone and no other apparent causes, it would have been acceptable to label his death an overdose.”
