Then on what basis do you say it was SOP? His lawyer should be making that point
Hopefully he does when it comes time for the defense to present their case. But I also wouldn't rule out his lawyer being in bed with the prosecution, ala Charlottesville (Fields' public defender was a former prosecutor).
I'd be shocked if Chauvin has a private defender. Could still be a setup though.
Didn't mean he had a private defender, just that I wouldn't be surprised if his lawyer was playing both sides.
