: Federal prosecutors in Minnesota are asking a judge to reconsider his decision to allow former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin to re-examine George Floyd's heart as part of an appeal after he was convicted of violating Floyd's civil rights.United States District Court Judge Paul Magnuson ordered on Monday that Chauvin's lawyers be allowed access to Floyd's heart tissue and histology slides, photographs of his heart and samples of Floyd's bodily fluids, as his legal team is investigating the possibility that Floyd died from a heart condition and not Chauvin's actions.
In a 10-page motion to reconsider filed Tuesday, prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota argued that Chauvin had "no legal basis for [his] discovery requests, all of which stem solely from an email he received from an unvetted doctor offering a weaker version of the medical defense than the version that the jury had previously rejected at his state trial."
