Not sure why there wasn’t a change of venue granted in this matter. It seems unlikely he will get a fair trial. Just so its clear how one sided the matter is:
“Gov. Walz lifted responsibility for the prosecution from the office of the Hennepin County attorney and assigned it to Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison.’ … note that he has more than 130 lawyers in his employ. For the trial of Derek Chauvin . . . Ellison has also tapped four prominent outside attorneys, who have offered their services pro bono.” “On his side, Derek Chauvin has a local criminal defense lawyer named Eric Nelson. That appears to be it.”
