Probation or 30 years for killer cop Derek Chauvin?

The white ex-police officer Derek Chauvin (45) is guilty of causing the death of the African American George Floyd († 46). He knelt on Floyd’s neck for more than eight minutes, then the dark-skinned man was dead. Now the killer cop’s defense is demanding parole.

In addition, Chauvin should receive a prison sentence, which would be served with the pre-trial detention. That was said in a motion from attorney Eric Nelson published by the Minneapolis court on Wednesday. The public prosecutor, on the other hand, demands 30 years imprisonment for Chauvin. She justified this with the special gravity of the act, which Judge Peter Cahill has already recognized.
