Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who is accused of murdering George Floyd, divorced his wife Kellie this week under secret terms.
The news comes after Minnesota prosecutors on Thursday asked a judge to reinstate a third-degree murder count against Derek Chauvin. Prosecutors said an appellate court decision from earlier this week sets legal precedent that shows the count is appropriate.
Derek Chauvin faces trial in March on one count of second-degree murder and one count of manslaughter. Washington County District Judge Juanita Freeman issued the divorce order under seal on Tuesday, with a redacted version being made public on Thursday.
Freeman ordered redaction in the divorce case because of harassment and financial fraud allegations against the pair.
