A court allows Derek Chauvin's team to examine George Floyd's heart tissue, seeking to overturn his murder conviction.

A Minnesota court has allowed Derek Chauvin's legal team to examine George Floyd's heart tissue and bodily fluids to support a claim that Floyd's death was due to a heart condition, not Chauvin's actions. Chauvin, convicted of Floyd's murder and serving a 21-year sentence, is arguing that he received ineffective counsel. The defense will analyze the samples for stress hormones and signs of a rare heart condition, aiming to overturn his conviction.
