The Texas parole board changed its recommendation from a year ago and denied a posthumous pardon for a 2004 Houston drug conviction for George Floyd.
Last year, the board voted unanimously to recommend clemency for Floyd, who was convicted on a drug charge in 2004. However, the board later reverse its decision in December, citing"procedural errors." in April 2021, almost a year after Floyd was killed by Derek Chauvin, a former Minnesota police officer.

The 2004 drug conviction Floyd's attorney is appealing was one of several cases that a now-indicted former police officer was involved in. Gerald Goines is facing two felony murder charges related to a botched drug raid in 2019. The raid led investigators to reexamine several of Goines' cases and has resulted in prosecutors dismissing roughly 150 drug prosecutions tied to the former officer.
