Derek Chauvin to be sentenced today.
My prediction is that he will get sentenced 18 to 25 years in jail for his "extreme cruelty".But, I wouldn't bet anyone's life on it.
Meanwhile, he completely extinguished the life of George Floyd.

BREAKING NEWS
Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison for the murder of George Floyd.
Friday, June 25, 2021 4:04 PM EST
The sentence, delivered by Judge Peter A. Cahill of Hennepin County District Court, came more than a year after a widely shared cellphone video captured Mr. Chauvin pressing his knee on the neck of Mr. Floyd for more than nine minutes along a Minneapolis street.
but which ever, given the carry on and aftermath regarding all the world wide BLM riots/protests, Chauvin should not be sentenced a tall, but be dismissed for his "extreme cruelty".
She all but Handed him a Get Outta Jail Free Card ...
Maybe save your breath regarding the storm.
You do know I'd never give you a slap, don't you
figure of speech only.
As far as the murders that happened during protests (some of which were of blacks), they took place AFTER the George Floyd murder. Their trials will come.
People/patients die everyday in and out of hospital because of carelessness, their health conditions, complaints not taken seriously, tests/results some lost and many mixed up, others not even being tested properly. People die as a result yet after a court hearing when taken to court, the final verdict is negligence not murder. Chauvin overlooked and neglected the seriousness in Floyds voice/condition, it was an accidental killing. I don't believe he intended to murder him anymore than I believe the medical professions tend to kill patients..... like I said, well off track
I agree, all should be held accountable for their own actions
I take it so for a change you're in Trumps corner then, as in he should NOT be held accountable for the capitol riots?
The Murder conviction May be questionable -
The Jury was apparently convinced the Murder case had been made.
Another Possibility -
The Jury was Intimidated into the Murder conviction by Congressperson Waters's Threats of "more confrontation" IF the Jury didn't deliver a verdict of Guilty on ALL Charges
See @ 1:40
The Judge's angry/frustrated comments suggest he KNEW Then that Mad Maxie's Ultimatum (And His failure to sequester the Jury) VERY Likely will result in the Chauvin Verdict being Overturned On Appeal.
Again -
Derek Chauvin quite likely owes Mad Maxie BIGLY ...

He even told them, that he would lead them.
You may believe that Derek C. did not intentionally kill George. Floyd, but the jury did, and apparently, they were much more knowledgeable about the situation, which you admitted, you did not know the circumstances. They heard a lot of testimony from experts. He ignored his training and held his knee on Floyd's neck while Floyd begged for his life, and called out for his mother during the 9 1/2 minutes it took to extinguish his life by choking him to death. It was not only intentional, the court decided it was extreme cruelty.
