Derek Chauvin wrote his lawyer's phone number on his hand before being convicted of murder and manslaughter in the killing of George Floyd, as a preparation for going to jail, his attorney told TMZ.

Images of Chauvin being walked out of the courtroom in handcuffs show writing on his left hand in black ink.

Chauvin's lawyer, Eric Nelson, told TMZ that his client knew that if he was convicted, he would likely have his bail revoked, so he was seemingly preparing for the worst.

Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd's death on Tuesday and is expected to be sentenced in eight weeks.

He's being held in the Administrative Control Unit at Minnesota Correctional Facility-Oak Park Heights, the state's securest unit.
