Ellison asks judge to change sentencing memo for Derek Chauvin regarding child witnesses By FOX 9 Staff MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Minnesota Keith Ellison is asking Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill to change his sentencing memo for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison for George Floyd’s murder, in regards to children at the scene.  Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd’s May 2020 death. For his sentencing, the state asked the judge to consider several aggravating factors in the case, including that the crime happened in front of children. Four young girls witnessed Floyd’s murder and testified at Chauvin’s trial about what they saw.
