Judge Finds Chauvin Qualifies For Longer Prison Sentence By By
Cara Bayles Law360 (May 12, 2021, 2:10 PM EDT) A Minnesota state court judge found Wednesday that the murder of George Floyd met several of the factors necessary to sentence former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin to a longer-than-average prison term.
A jury
convicted Chauvin last month of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, which carry sentences of up to 40 years, up to 25 years and up to 10 years, respectively.
Chauvin would only face a sentence for the most serious charge, since all of his convictions stemmed from the same act. And because he has no prior criminal record, state guidelines would recommend a prison term of about 12 1/2 years.
A Minnesota state court is doing everything it can to protect the privacy of the jurors who will decide the fate of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with the murder of George Floyd. But their answers to questions in jury selection provided a glimpse into who they are.
