George Floyd | Chauvin guilty on all counts | Sentenced to 22.5 years
- Thread starter Adisa
- Start date
Let's take her at her word for a second. If good men murder people in cold blood on the job as cops then that certainly lend credence to ACAB.
22 years.
He's not surviving that long in an American prison.
The fecker gets 270 months and prohibited from possessing firearms for life.
Any videos?
Just a few words from Chauvin. At least he offered his condolences to the Floyd family. For what it's worth.
Looks like the judge bottled it, when he had a chance to make a statement.
Had to stop watching this after the first minute.
Siding unconditionally with your kids even when they are wrong is shit parenting.

He seems to have sentenced him in accordance with the Minnesota sentencing guidelines. Gave him the overlap between the high end of unintentional 2nd degree murder and the low end of intentional 2nd degree murder

I'm assuming he will be seperated from the other prisoners. He should be fine, the prison guards will look out for their own.
Unless he tops himself that is.

It's better than what the defence were pushing for but it does beg the question as to what would he have had to do to get the full 40 years?
Be black, not a cop and to have killed a white guy.
Well yeah I mean there's no chance he's mixing with the general population.
Check the link to the Minnesota sentencing guidelines that I posted
Hate to say it but 22.5 years for a police officer seems OK...
I thought the max was 30 years, right?
Yep. In context.
Thanks. So it's a first offence type situation? You'd need a significant prior record to get the full 40 years? Am I reading that right?
It’s 40, but again, Minnesota has sentencing guidelines
That’s what it looks like, yes.
22 years sure, but when is he eligible for patrol is what I want to know?
Also what possible information will be forth coming that will be of interest and give the family some peace of mind??

Very funny if intentional, but a scary thought.
That sentence should come with 2 days in general pop a week.
Some context about the judge’s discretion within the Minnesota sentencing guidelines…
“Technically, Chauvin faced up to 40 years in prison for second-degree murder, up to 25 years for third-degree murder and up to 10 years for manslaughter.
However, Chauvin has no prior criminal record. State guidelines say that for such a person, the presumptive sentence for both second-degree and third-degree murder is 12 1/2 years. The judge was given discretion to hand down a sentence between 10 years and eight months and 15 years for each.
Second-degree manslaughter carries a presumptive sentence of four years for someone with no record, according to the guidelines. The judge's discretion ranged from three years and five months to four years and eight months.”

I'm not that clued up on law in the United States but how is he not able to give a statement at this time after sentencing ? And what could this other information he his holding back that could help put the family at ease ?
He's also on Federal charges for the Floyd case, tax evasion charges with his estranged wife and is also busted for assaulting a 14 yr old. As far as putting the family at ease, good ol' fashioned BS.
But as his mother says he's a good man.
That's what I was thinking. There's literally nothing he could say that would put them at ease. I'd be quite pissed off at that comment if I was them.
20 years is pretty long.
I know life sentences in India usually mean parole eligibility in 14 years. What would the equivalent sentence be in UK/Europe?

Chauvin will become eligible for parole after 15 years.
I don't see how it is a pleasant 15. I am guessing he will need to be in pseudo solitary for most of it.
Yeah they’ll have him separated
Solitary is torture to be fair to him
Take guts not to end myself if facing 15 in solitary
He's still going through the appeals process so he won't want to say anything that could interfere with any appeals or subsequent trials if his conviction is overturned and sent for a retrial, plus the federal charges as mentioned above.
it's not.
In this case it definitely is.
I won’t be solitary. It’ll just be protective custody.
