Once Again, With Feeling

Denying a motion for new trial is virtually a ministerial act. No appeal from a trial can go forward without first requesting a new trial from the trial court. Every appeal you’ve ever heard about, including returning the case for a new trial, started with a request for a new trial in the trial court.

All this means is that Chauvin plans to appeal.

This has been your free civics lesson. You’re welcome.
