Yeah. It should be more but they were pushing for 30 and this is double the average so it's a good outcome.
I can't say I'm upset at all by this entire thing. Guilty of all counts and a little more than 2 decades in prison.
For concurrent sentences? Or for one following the other?
I'm sure there will be appeals but I doubt the sentence will get reduced. At the same time they're not going to push for more years because he deservedly got more than the average.
So what are the chances he will go in front of a parole board in 5 years and they let him go home?
He has to serve 15 years before he is eligible for parole I think.
It's always "I HAVE INFORMATION THAT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING BUT I CAN'T SHARE IT YET!" with fascists, isn't it?
That “I have secret information” statement targeted at Floyd’s family is clearly not actually meant for Floyd’s family. It feels like a desperate Hail Mary pass to the media who will amplify that conspiracy-baiting statement and keep Chauvin’s name circulating for a longer period than he deserves. I bet they’re trying to court those types of right wing crowds who feel disgusting sympathy for similar pricks like Mark Fuhrman on Fox News.
My gut tells me they’re laying the groundwork to drum up public sympathy for his inevitable sentencing appeals.

What the fuck cryptic ass statement is that. You know damn well that that message is not going to help the family at all, just make them feel worse.
That is the kind of thing that is figured out during sentencing so no idea at this time.
What is he doing with this "information" that would be of interest in the future? Like, shut the fuck up and spill it out asshole, this family has been through enough to play along with your fucking silly games, racist piece of shit.
Not enough but it’s a measure of justice. Maybe the remainder of his deserved sentence will come through other means.
Throw the key out and let this bastard rot.

There's quite a few countries where the maximum sentence is 15 years full stop..
I mean... probably not?
He'll be in protected custody the whole time. All ex-cops are. I wouldn't doubt he gets a soft shake from the wannabe cops that make up prison guards either.
But at least it's the rest of his active years gone.
