The incident occurred in a medium-security prison in Tucson, Arizona, where he was transferred in August 2022 from a federal facility
The move comes after the Minnesota Supreme Court without comment denied Chauvin’s petition to hear his case, letting the former police officer’s conviction and 22-and-a-half-year sentence stand
Tou Thao, who already had been convicted in federal court of violating Floyd’s civil rights, was last of the four former officers facing judgment in state court for the brutal killing
The former Minneapolis officer is serving a sentence of 22 and a half years on the second-degree murder count. His attorney had asked the appeals court to throw out the convictions
John Pope Jr. will receive $7.5 million and Zoya Code will receive $1.375 million. They both said the former officer pressed his knee into their necks years before he did it to kill Floyd
