Charlie Kirk: The Top 5 Lies Surrounding George Floyd's Death
As former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin was led out of the courtroom, images captured the phone number of his attorney written on his left hand.
Defense attorney, Eric Nelson, followed behind as Chauvin was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs.
Chauvin wrote down Nelson’s phone number because he knew that, if found guilty, he would likely have his bail revoked and be immediately taken into custody, Nelson told TMZ. He said Chauvin feared a piece of paper would be confiscated.
Fox News has independently reached out to Nelson seeking more information regarding whether Chauvin will try to appeal the court decision.
Chauvin, who could be sent to prison for decades, was found guilty as charged of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.
The jury of six White members and six Black or multiracial members came back with its verdict after about 10 hours of deliberations over two days.
The judge revoked Chauvin’s option for bail and he will have to wait 2 months before sentencing. The most serious charge carries up to 40 years in prison.
