A US white former police officer convicted of murdering African-American man George Floyd (48) in Minneapolis in May 2020 has been sentenced to 22 years and six months in jail.
The judge said Derek Chauvin’s sentence was based on the fact that he had abused his position of trust and authority, “and also the particular cruelty shown”.
During the sentencing hearing, Floyd’s brother Terrence Floyd demanded the maximum available, a sentence of 40 years.
Chauvin (45) was convicted of second-degree murder and other charges last month. During his trial, his lawyer described the killing as “an error made in good faith”.
Chauvin was also told to register as a predatory offender and was barred from owning firearms for life.
He and three other former officers, J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao, are separately charged with violating George Floyd’s civil rights.
The three former officers were fired and arrested days after Floyd’s death and are due to face trial in March 2022 on state charges that they aided and abetted second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter of Floyd.
The Floyd family and their supporters welcomed the sentence. Lawyer Ben Crump tweeted:
<blockquote>This historic sentence brings the Floyd family and our nation one step closer to healing by delivering closure and accountability.</blockquote>
Chauvin was captured on cellphone video kneeling on Floyd’s neck for more than 9 minutes while arresting him.
The murder caused global protests against racism and police brutality.

George Floyd Murder Cop Sentenced To Over 22 Years

Derek Chauvin, the white ex-policeman who knelt on the neck of the now-deceased African-American man, George Floyd, for more than nine minutes and was convicted of murder now seeks a new trial.
Chauvin faces up to 40 years in prison after being found guilty last month in a case that prompted a national reckoning on racial injustice and police brutality.
On Tuesday, 45-year-old Chauvin asked for a new trial on claims of jury and prosecution misconduct.
His attorney, Eric Nelson, argued that his client did not get a fair trial due to publicity around the case, court and prosecution errors, as well as “race-based pressure” on the jury.
Nelson also alleges that jurors should have been isolated during the trial and that the case could only get a fair hearing in a different place. He wrote:
<blockquote>The publicity here was so pervasive and so prejudicial before and during this trial that it amounted to a structural defect in the proceedings.</blockquote>
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who represents the Floyd family, fiercely opposed the motion on Twitter:
<blockquote>No. No. No. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.</blockquote>
The filing came as the impartiality of a juror in the case has been called into question after a photo surfaced of him at an anti-racism rally.
In the photo, juror Brandon Mitchell, a 31-year-old Black man, is wearing a T-shirt with a picture of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr on it, as well as the words “Get Your Knee Off Our Necks” and the letters “BLM” for Black Lives Matter.
Mitchell told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that the photo was taken at a march he attended in Washington in August 2020 to mark the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

Cop Convicted Of Murdering George Floyd Seeks New Trial

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis Police officer who knelt on George Floyd’s neck for more than 9 minutes last year was convicted on all three charges against him.
Chauvin (45), was convicted of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
The jurors deliberated for more than 10 hours over two days before coming to their decision.
Chauvin’s bail was revoked and he was placed in handcuffs and taken to a facility in Stillwater, Minnesota, about 25 miles east of downtown Minneapolis.
The second-degree murder charge said Chauvin assaulted Floyd with his knee, which unintentionally caused Floyd’s death.
The third-degree murder charge said Chauvin acted with a “depraved mind,” and the manslaughter charge said his “culpable negligence” caused Floyd’s death.
The former police officer could face 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.
