Derek Chauvin sentenced to 20 years in prison for violating George Floyd’s civil rights

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.
