A federal judge on Thursday sentenced Derek Chauvin to 21 years in prison for violating George Floyd’s civil rights, a move that adds a few years to the time the former Minneapolis police officer is already serving for his murder conviction
Chauvin's attorney Eric Nelson had asked for 20 years, arguing that Chauvin was remorseful and would make that clear to the court.
Prosecutor LeeAnn Bell asked Magnuson to give Chauvin the full 25 years possible in the plea deal, highlighting the “special responsibility” that he had as a police officer to care for the people in his custody. Chauvin's mother, Carolyn Pawlenty, told Magnuson that her son didn't go to work intending to kill someone.
