- Derek Chauvin's defense attorney Eric Nelson called for a mistrial after the jury retired on Monday
- He cited Rep Maxine Waters' comments on the case as he argued that there was no way the jury could be unbiased given constant media coverage
- 'Now that we have US representatives threatening acts of violence in relation to this trial it’s frankly mind-blowing,' Nelson said
- Judge Peter Cahill replied: 'I grant you Congresswoman Waters may have handed you grounds for appeal and the turning over of this trial'
- But Cahill refused to grant a mistrial and adjourned the court until the jury comes back with a verdict
