Derek Chauvin sentenced to 22 years for George Floyd's murder

Former Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin, convicted in April on three charges related to the murder of 46-year-old black man George Floyd, has been sentenced to 22.5 years in prison.

The sentencing comes just two months after a jury declared him guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter – all three charges stemming from the infamous encounter in which Chauvin knelt with his knee on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes

The former officer, who was expelled from the force one day after Floyd’s murder, would typically face a sentence of about 12 and a half years in prison for such a crime, given he is a first-time offender. Prosecutors in the case requested a longer sentence, however, due to aggravating factors

Not much to say here as everyone already knows who Derek Chauvin is and what happened with him and George Floyd. Derek Chauvin was sentenced today to 22.5 years in prison, meaning he could be almost 70 by the time he gets out.

That's likely more time in jail than Floyd would have actually ended up living.

So what city will burn tonight since BLM will say it was not enough time.

Who is George Floyd?

Minnesota is a 66% state, which means he has to serve about 14 years...he will still be younger than 60 when he is paroled

Pinks felon brother....

Hundreds of black men have been murdered since Floyd's death but a cop didn't kill them they don't get a street named after them.

good, no policeman has the right to be judge, jury and executioner

fact is George was alive before his interaction with Chauvin but dead after his arrest, anything else regarding drugs taken taken by George and whether he would have OD is speculative.

policemen like Chauvin will not be missed

Just wanted to say congrats to George Floyd for being drug free for a year now!

If a genie comes along and gives the family the opportunity to turn back the hands of time, with George Floyd alive, but but no 27 million, the family will tell the genie, thanks but no thanks!
