Judge allows testing of George Floyd tissue samples as officer seeks new trial on civil rights conviction

A mural painted on a brick wall depicts a Black man's face and the words 'George Floyd.'

A judge has granted permission to Derek Chauvin’s lawyers to have tissue samples from George Floyd’s body examined. It’s part of the former Minneapolis police officer’s efforts to challenge his federal conviction of violating Floyd’s civil rights after he was also convicted in Floyd’s 2020 killing.
