Attorney John Hinderaker and Harvard Law School professor emeritus break down the trial on The Ingraham Angle
Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all counts Tuesday in a jury verdict that could mean the ex-Minneapolis police officer will serve decades in prison for the murder of George Floyd.
Chauvin was convicted of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The most serious charge second-degree unintentional murder could result in a 40-year sentence. The two other counts carry 25- and 10-year sentences, respectively.
The actual sentence that Chauvin receives depends on whether Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill will agree with prosecutors two months from now and impose a longer prison term than stated in Minnesota s sentencing guidelines for first-time offenders.
