JUST IN: Derek Chauvin sentenced to 22 1/2 years in prison in the murder of George Floyd​

Former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin has been sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison in the 2020 murder of George Floyd.

Prosecutors had asked for a 30 year sentence, and Chauvin’s attorney asked for probation and time served. Chauvin was convicted in April of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

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.

政治正确压力之下的荒谬判决。

支持这个说法。如果有足够证据证明这位警官的动作造成了弗洛伊德的死亡，则“过失杀人”罪可以理解。说“谋杀”是完全胡扯。是“政治压力之下的荒谬判决”。

 

[草头将军]

这是按一级谋杀判的？
政治正确，法律错误

 

[lindamy]

他的判决是经过多日开庭审理，控辩双方都提供证据，证人等，谋杀是法庭判决的结果。

当然每个人都可以保留自己的观点，但是法制社会，如果法庭判据是胡扯，错误，谁说的算权威？

以前看过一个报道，说陪审团每个人的资料都被泄漏了，这种背景下，说无罪估计全家都有生命危险。

second-degree unintentional murder.

谋杀是个瞎翻译的词。
没有证据支持有intention (动机), 控方也没有起诉一级杀人。22年还算合理。

Review一下雷洋吧。

Judge says Chauvin treated Floyd "without respect and denied him the dignity owed to all human beings"​

From CNN's Aaron Cooper

In a 22-page memorandum, Hennepin County District Court Judge Peter Cahill explained his rational for sentencing former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin to 22 and a half years for the second-degree unintentional murder of George Floyd.

The sentence exceeds the Minnesota sentencing guideline range of 10 years and eight months to 15 years for the crime.

Cahill rejected a defense request for probation, citing reasons including “because a probationary sentence would be disproportionate and understate the severity of Mr. Chauvin’s offense.”

“Mr. Chauvin’s continuing insistence that he believed ‘he was simply performing his lawful duty in assisting other officers in the arrest of George Floyd’ and was acting “in good faith reliance [on] his own experience as a police officer and the training he had received… was rejected by every supervisory and training officer of the Minneapolis Police Department who testified at trial as well as by the jury,” Cahill wrote.

Cahill said two aggravating factors warranted the harsher sentence: Chauvin “abused his position of trust or authority” and treated Floyd with “particular cruelty.”

“These factual findings provide a ‘ubstantial and compelling’ basis for an aggravated sentencing departure, because they demonstrate that Mr. Chauvin’s conduct ‘was significantly more . . . serious than that typically involved in the commission of the crime in question,’” Cahill wrote citing prior cases.
“’Defendant objectively remained indifferent to Mr. Floyd’s pleas’ even as ‘Mr. Floyd was begging for his life and obviously terrified by the knowledge that he was likely to die…’ Mr. Chauvin’s prolonged restraint of Mr. Floyd was also much longer and more painful than the typical scenario in a second-degree or third-degree murder or second-degree manslaughter case.”

Two other aggravating factors the court had earlier found were present in this incident, that children were at the scene of Floyd’s death and that the crime was committed by a group of officers, did not warrant an upwards sentencing departure, Cahill found.

“Mr. Chauvin, rather than pursuing the (Minneapolis Police Department) mission, treated Mr. Floyd without respect and denied him the dignity owed to all human beings and which he certainly would have extended to a friend or neighbor,” the judge concluded.

Under Minnesota law, Chauvin will have to serve two-thirds of his sentence in prison (15 years), and he will be eligible for supervised release for the other seven and a half years.
