Derek Chauvin‘s mom has blast authorities for keeping her in the dark after the former Minneapolis police officer was stabbed by another inmate.
Carolyn Pawlenty, 75, said that she learnt her 47-year-old son had been left in need of ‘lifesaving measures’ through the media on Friday and condemned the Bureau of Prisons for failing to contact her.
Chauvin’s lawyer said the failure to inform them of his attack and update them on his condition was ‘completely unacceptable,’ describing it as a damning indictment of the state of the prison.
Chauvin is believed to be recovering in a Tucson hospital, although his attorney, Gregory M. Erickson, said they had no idea where he was.
‘I can’t even think what to say,’ Pawlenty added.
‘I haven’t been to bed and made a path in my kitchen and living room floor by pacing. I am worried and scared.’
Chauvin is not guilty of murder and should not be in jail and either the president or governor should pardon him immediately. ABN
