Ex-cop to be sentenced on federal charges in George Floyd murder
Last month, prosecutors asked a federal judge in Minneapolis to sentence Chauvin to 25 years in prison for violating Floyd's civil rights, followed by five years of supervised release.Purdue student felt like George Floyd during arrest, Chicago lawyer says; police officer on leave
The footage from a Minneapolis street showed Chauvin impassively kneeling on the 46-year-old Black man's neck and back while he was handcuffed and lying prone in the street for more than 9 minutes, gasping for air and telling Minneapolis officers,"I can't breathe." Chauvin pleaded guilty in December to federal charges of depriving Floyd of his civil rights when the former officer kneeled on Floyd's back and neck for more than nine minutes. As part of the plea agreement, Chauvin faces a sentence recommendation of between 20 and 25 years. He could have faced up to life in prison if he had been convicted at trial.
Prosecutors told the court in December they would request a federal sentence run at the same time as his state charges.
