And his lawyers are now attacking the legitimacy of the prosecution itself.

His attorneys want the conviction vacated and the charges dismissed. They argue Gov. Tim Walz improperly handed the prosecution to Attorney General Keith Ellison, that Chauvin was never indicted by a grand jury and that those alleged violations deprived the court of jurisdiction.

Chauvin's case is back in the national conversation after Elon Musk publicly called Chauvin “unjustly convicted” and said “he is not a murderer.”

Chauvin's third challenge is officially underway. Watch this one closely.
