Derek Chauvin was just sentenced to more than 20 years in federal prison for violating George Floyd’s civil rights during his murder.
The former Minnesota cop took a plea deal back in December, admitting he kept his knee pinned on Floyd’s neck when Floyd became unresponsive, and was sentenced on Thursday getting 245 months in prison followed by 5 years of supervised release.
Chauvin’s mother, Carolyn Pawlenty, also spoke in court … telling her son she would visit him often in prison and hoping she would still be alive when he’s released.
