Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis city police officer, was sentenced to 22 years and six months in prison for the murder of African-American George Floyd in May last year. The decision was appealed, after Prosecutors had requested that he be sentenced to 30 years in prison. Yet again the black platoon upheld the same decision.
Prior to the sentencing, former police officer Derek Chauvin offered his “condolences” to George Floyd’s family.
“Due to some additional legal issues in question, I am not able to give a full statement. Very briefly though, I want to offer my condolences to the Floyd family. There will be some other information in the future that would be of interest – and I hope things give you some peace of mind – thank you, ”He said.
Chauvin, in April, was found guilty of killing a 46-year-old African-American man in May 2020. His death sparked protests against racism and police violence in a number of cities in the United States, leading to disregard for the rules. of the coronavirus pandemic.
