NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has filed a motion seeking a new trial in the death of George Floyd.
Chauvin alleges that his constitutional right to a fair trial was violated several times throughout the trial.
A jury found Chauvin guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter last month in connection with Floyd's death.
Each count carries a different maximum sentence: 40 years for second-degree unintentional murder, 25 years for third-degree murder, and 10 years for second-degree manslaughter.
But under Minnesota sentencing guidelines, for a person with no criminal history, each murder charge carries a presumptive sentence of 12 1/2 years in prison, while manslaughter has a presumptive sentence of four years.
The jury of six white people and six Black or multiracial ones came back with its verdict after about 10 hours of deliberations over two days.
