Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of second-degree unintentional murder in the death of George Floyd and sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison, was stabbed by another inmate Friday at a federal prison in Tucson, Arizona. Seriously injured, he was given life-saving measures before being taken to a hospital. The Minneapolis attorney general’s office said today that it was told that Chauvin is in stable condition.
Last Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Chauvin’s appeal of his conviction. The appeal was based on Chauvin’s claim that he did not get a fair trial in Minneapolis.
Chauvin is also seeking to overturn his conviction for violating Floyd’s civil rights. He had pleaded guilty in the civil rights case, but is now saying he would not have done so if he had known about new evidence that has come to light indicating that Floyd died as the result of a drug overdose, not as the result of Chauvin’s actions.
That evidence, along with other startling evidence debunking the establishment narrative surrounding the death of Floyd and the riots of 2020, is presented in a new documentary, The Fall of Minneapolis by award-winning investigative journalist Liz Collin. Released online November 16, the documentary has already garnered more than one million views on Rumble.
The Fall of Minneapolis may be viewed for free here. Everyone, even those who believe that Chauvin got a fair trial or that they know everything about the case, is encouraged to see this one-hour, 42-minute documentary.
