Derek Chauvin Sentenced for George Floyd Federal Murder Case

Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on George Floyd's neck until he died, has been sentenced to 21 years in Federal prison.

NBC News reports 

Derek Chauvin was sentenced to just more than 20 years in prison Thursday, nearly seven months after he pleaded guilty to federal charges that he violated George Floyd's civil rights when he knelt on Floyd's neck for 9½ minutes as he was detaining him in May 2020.

Chauvin's federal sentence will run concurrently with the 22½-year sentence he is serving after being found guilty of second- and third-degree murder, as well as second-degree manslaughter, in a state case.
