Fight for Justice for Derek Chauvin Continues

The most appalling miscarriage of justice in modern times is the railroading of Derek Chauvin, who was tried and convicted of being a white police officer who arrested the career criminal fentanyl victim George Floyd.

That Chauvin did nothing wrong has been well documented. Readers are referred to The Fall of Minneapolis and Ben Shapiro’s excellent series The Case for Derek Chauvin.

Chauvin was denied a change of venue, despite the clear threat of continued violence from Black Lives Matter scum if he was not offered up to the mob as a sacrificial victim. Left-wing activist judge Peter Cahill was openly hostile toward Chauvin.

That the farce was a political show trial could not have been more obvious. Maxine Waters even came in from California to demand Chauvin’s head on a platter.

As liberals knew was likely and no doubt hoped, an attempt was soon made on Chauvin’s life in prison. He was stabbed 22 times but somehow survived.

Due to the high visibility of the Chauvin’s disgraceful kangaroo court trial, the credibility of our entire system of justice has been compromised. Faith in it can only be restored when the verdict has been rendered null and void. Also, we cannot expect police officers to lay their lives on the line to protect us when they know they are subject to the same fate as Derek Chauvin.

So this is welcome news:

Attorney Greg Joseph has filed a “Memorandum in support of petition for postconviction relief” on behalf of his client Derek Chauvin…

The petition states that the case involved two key issues: intent and causation. That is, one, whether the restraint of Floyd followed policies and procedures of the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD); and two, if the restraint caused his death.

The answers to these questions are respectively yes and no, despite the disprovable lies told at his trial.

In seeking to vacate Chauvin’s conviction, or obtain a new trial, the petition argues that Chauvin “was deprived of his right to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article I of the Minnesota Constitution.”

Let’s not forget his Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial before an impartial jury.

Joseph’s petition for Chauvin also references the 34 current and former MPD officers who provided sworn declarations about how the restraint that Chauvin used was in fact part of MPD training, to the contrary of [MPD Inspector Katie] Blackwell’s testimony during Chauvin’s trial. In addition to those 34 officers, Chauvin’s petition includes declarations from 23 additional officers who came forward.

Liz Collin of esteemed Alpha News interviewed Greg Joseph last month:

For the sake not just of an innocent man but of the country as a whole, best of luck to Joseph.
