beyond the presumptive sentencing established by the sentencing guidelines. the sentencing guidelines don t differentiate between second-degree murders. one robs a liquor store, a police officer is involved in an incident, a person dies in police custody. the law presumes, the legislature presumes that the sentencing guidelines as established is sufficient penalty for all of the second-degree murder categories or cases. from 2019 back to 2010, a total of 90 people were sentenced for second-degree murder. those people are more than that people who had a zero criminal history. more than 90 people were sentenced. 67% or 60 of those 90 people
excellent appeal issue. neil: let me i appreciate your patience, ted. you re a former detective, a law and order guy. we know what happened after floyd s death. but it ignited a nationwide movement to defunding police. i ve taken a look at how police conduct their jobs and whether they re fair to arms, minorities in general. has this trial and now this sentencing, 22 1/2 years, isolated the incident enough to say that we move on, defunding the police movement went too far, the president himself seemed to indicate with his own crime legislation or push that we ve got to find a better balance. where do you think this goes from here? you know, it s scary as to where i believe it s going from here, neil. i think there s individuals out

understand what his family members and friends are going through. i can t. it s not enough for a departure to probation for a second-degree murder. we believe, your norhonor, thes four aggravating factors and findings the court made certainly justify an upward departure because there are four of them standing alone by in a sense not overlapping but coming together to show this is not the typical second-degree murder. this is egregious. this justifies a double upward departure. from the top of the box which is 180 months, we re asking the court to double departure recognizing all four factors to 360 months. as i mention, this is sentencing. this is the time for victims. this is the time for the loved ones of the victim and the
goes. this is pretty much in the zone that we discussed. many people wanted a 30-year sentence. the baseline for this offense is 150 months. that s 12 1/2 years. he got 22 1/2. so he had ten years tacked on. because the court found four aggravating circumstances. obviously the most important is that he held this position of authority in commission of his crime. it s important for people to realize this is not the end of sentencing for chauvin. he s charged with a federal offense as are his colleagues. their case will be more challenging. the cases is are in march. for chauvin, this might not be
