Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of the murder of George Floyd, was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison on Thursday on federal charges.
SAINT PAUL, United States —
Chauvin is already serving a 22-and-a-half-year sentence after being convicted of state murder charges for Floyd’s death, which sparked protests against racial injustice and police brutality across the United States. “I really don’t know why you did what you did,” US District Court Judge Paul Magnuson said in delivering the sentence of 252 months with seven months off for time already served.
“I believe it is God’s will for all of us to forgive,” she told the court. “Everyone in Minnesota needs to heal and to know that all lives matter, no matter the color of your skin.” Chauvin has appealed his Minnesota state murder conviction but his sentencing on the federal charges will ensure he will spend two decades in prison regardless of the outcome of his appeal.
