Derek Chauvin Appeals George Floyd Murder Conviction to U.S. Supreme Court

Chauvin argues he was denied a fair trial due to pretrial publicity and concerns over potential violence.
The Minnesota Supreme Court upheld Chauvin's conviction and 22 1/2 year sentence.
Chauvin was convicted of second-degree murder for kneeling on Floyd's neck for over 9 minutes.
Floyd's death ignited global protests over police brutality and racism.
Three other officers were convicted for their role in Floyd's death, with one still awaiting sentencing.
