The maximum sentence for second-degree murder is 40 years in prison, but Minnesota sentencing guidelines suggest he's more likely to receive up to 15 years, based on his lack of a prior criminal record.Former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin arrives for the verdict in his trial for the 2020 death of George Floyd, April 20, 2021, at the Hennepin County Courthouse in Minneapolis, Minn.
After the settlement was announced, Chauvin’s defense attorney Eric Nelson requested a delay in the trial or a change of venue, arguing the settlement had an “incredible propensity to taint a jury pool." CahillCahill’s ruling to not move the trial or delay proceedings could be challenged as part of the appeal. The decision to sequester the jury for only deliberations could also be an appellate issue.
Chauvin's attorney could also cite comments from California Rep. Maxine Waters, who urged protesters over the weekend toif Chauvin was found not guilty -- a comment Nelson used to request a mistrial. Cahill denied that motion but admitted the comments were controversial.
Storm the Capitol building?
His perogative. It wouldn't do any good though. 😕
Nope. This racist is going to the booty house. He has been judged.
Hey let’s post this article 24 times on Twitter to continue the racial divide in America...
It's important that people dont lose sleep over this. Inmates appeal all the time. It's their right. That doesnt mean he'll get out.
Stop all of this...the trial is over. Stop trying to create more dramatic news tv. There are plenty of more dramatic and IMPORTANT stories to be discussing. Chauvin was tried by a group of his peers and justice was served (thank goodness). Leave it there.
Hi You like stranglers do you?
Komanyoko please
Honestly end of the day justice is served.. what else do you want!!
And now one of the alternate jurors who didn't know she was going to be an alternate admitted the fear of riots, looting and unrest weighed heavily on her and she didn't want that on her if they didn't convict.
Be damned, Chauvin. You deserve to be in quicksand in Hell.
He'll suck a dick?
Thanks to Maxine Waters comments that alone should get the verdict overturned. The other is having one of the jurors stating the only reason for a guilty verdict, was because they didn't want any riots. Mr. Chauvin should be released from custody due to the COVID-19 virus.
Why am I seeing this bs every few hours in my tl?, stop exciting racists, that murderer will rot in jail
Maxine Waters handed it to them when she intimidated and threatened the jury.
Let’s pray that doesn’t happen...

I don’t believe the verdict will be overturned, I’m hoping the judge will find this horrific crime beyond the pale!! And take all the footage the world witnessed and the lack of remorse and empathy and tack on a few xtra years!! Nothing less than 25 years no parole. Linda
And a dead end effort and a long shot to say the least
He was the one posing. With a smirk on his face. A 9year old said 'get offa him'.an emt couldn't move him to take Floyd's pulse.. The ambulance had to shove him off floyd's lifeless body. Did they take his toxicology? That's a crack head move.
....ain't gonna happen.
All he did was clear on video!!! Courts can't go back on that decision! Chauvin DerekChauvin USA America
A Str8 Up Murderer 💯
'Could?' You mean when?
Claim claustrophia but watch out for carbon monoxide & asphalt!
What? He could point to the autopsy report part where it says there were bruises & scrapes all over Floyd's body from the scuffle w/police *except* on his neck. That was the lone clean spot. The spot where he was accused of standing on Floyd's neck. But it didn't have a bruise?
This week, Corporal Harold Dawson was sent away to do 40 years in prison for the Code Red ordered by Base Commander Colonel Nathan Jessup, and Cl Jessup* went back home a free man. Only the suckers celebrated it 🙄 (*Jessup here is the racist leadership of the Min PD)
Maxine helped him.
Here's how Derek Chauvin will spend the rest of his life- either in prison or in hiding in fear for his life.
I'm just gonna leave this here...
Weird how all of a sudden. Media coverage and politicians speaking are grounds for appeal. When 90% of convictions of non officers also had major media coverage and no appeal was ever granted. This is the different justice for the Rich,Politician and Law enforcement.
I pray he succeeds. He's not guilty. Fentanyl kills by asphyxiation. Floyd killed himself with his 4x lethal dosage. Justice is not served by making a hero out of drug addict.
The judge made the likelihood of appeal easy. It wasn’t hard to figure out who’s side he was on. He did just enough to not be disciplined or disbarred.
By white privilege
So, when did ABC join the Chauvin defense team?
If justice was real, a child could argue too many cases have been overturned because of tainted publicity. Chauvin peers made a fast, unanimous decision on ALL COUNTS (per the constitution).DONT KILL IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE CONSEQUENCES. Wearing a badge doesnt make you God.
I was so excited when I opened my wallet and saw my payment of £15,000. What a boost! You knew exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much for the payment Hilaryannabel35
Really ? Why would you even Tweet about this ? This is something like CNN would put out there... Not You 🤔 Bad ABC !!! BOO....
And here is why he shouldn't: He's guilty.
So with White privilege you get a second chance at it after being convicted by your peers. Hmmm 🤔 must be nice.
