Derek Chauvin, The Officer Convicted Of Killing George Floyd, STABBED In Prison, Now Fighting For His Life

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed by another inmate inside a Federal prison in Arizona on Friday night.

Authorities had to perform life saving measures on Chauvin after the stabbing and has since been transported to a local hospital.

The stabbing occurred at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson which has had some major security blunders in recent months.

In 2020 Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd by kneeling on his neck but later reports revealed Floyd had a lethal amount of Fentanyl in his system at the time of his death.

On Monday of last week the Supreme Court struck down Chauvin’s appeal that claimed Chauvin was denied a fair trial due to “pretrial publicity and concerns for violence in the event of an acquittal.”

Here’s what Fox News reported:

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed in federal prison by another inmate on Friday, according to the Associated Press.

A person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press that the incident happened at Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, Arizona.

Chauvin was convicted in the 2020 murder of Floyd, which sparked violent protests nationwide.

The Bureau of Prisons said there was an incident at the prison at around 12:30 p.m. Friday. The agency said employees at the prison contained the incident and performed “life-saving measures,” on an inmate, but didn’t confirm it was Chauvin.

According to the Bureau of Prisons, the inmate was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

The incident marks the second incident at the prison in around a year. In November 2022, an inmate at the prison’s low-security camp attempted to shoot a visitor in the head, but the weapon was misfired.

Here’s what The AP reported:

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed by another inmate and seriously injured Friday at a federal prison in Arizona, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

The attack happened at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, a medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the attack and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.

The Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an incarcerated person was assaulted at FCI Tucson at around 12:30 p.m. local time Friday. In a statement, the agency said responding employees contained the incident and performed “life-saving measures” before the inmate, who it did not name, was taken to a hospital for further treatment and evaluation.

In a motion filed in federal court Monday, Nov. 13, 2023, Chauvin said he would never have pleaded guilty to the federal charge in 2021 if he had known about the theories of a Kansas forensic pathologist with whom he began corresponding in February this year.

No employees were injured and the FBI was notified, the Bureau of Prisons said. Visiting at the facility, which has about 380 inmates, has been suspended.

Derek Chauvin most likely would not have been stabbed in prison if he had received a fair trial.

Remember, George Floyd had a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system.

The Supreme Court this week also refused to listen to Chauvin’s appeal. https://t.co/XzebNLiDG4
