Ex-cop killer Derek Chauvin left the hospital and returned to prison where he was stabbed 22 times by a Black Lives Matter-inspired inmate the day after Thanksgiving.
Chauvin, the 47-year-old former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd in 2020, was returned to the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona, despite his family’s fears for his safety there, his attorney, Gregory Erickson, said. , to the Minneapolis Star. -Tribuna.
“Derek’s family confirmed that his medical condition has improved to the point that he was removed from the trauma center at a local Tucson hospital and returned to the prison for follow-up care,” Erickson said.
Chauvin’s family “is very concerned about the facility’s ability to protect Derek from further harm” and “remains uncertain whether any changes have been made to the flawed procedures that allowed Derek’s attack to occur in the first place.” said the lawyer.
John Turscak is charged with attempted murder for the attack on Chauvin, which he said he carried out on Black Friday in symbolic solidarity with Black Lives Matter, the movement that led protests against police brutality across the country after the prolonged murder of Floyd by Chauvin, caught on camera. .
Turscak, who is serving decades of a sentence in connection with his role in a Mexican Mafia prison gang, allegedly told correctional officers that he would have killed Chauvin with his “makeshift knife” if they had not intervened.
Chauvin is serving 23 years in prison after being convicted of second- and third-degree murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s death.
He had appealed his murder convictions, but the U.S. Supreme Court said last month it would not hear his case.
