GEORGE FLOYD: Chauvin Sentenced to 22.5 Years

The former Minneapolis cop has just been sentenced to 22.5 years for the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. He was facing up to 30 years.

Chauvin did make a statement in today's (Friday) sentencing, expressing condolences but not offering an apology to the Floyd family. Multiple members of Floyd's family also spoke -- his seven-year-old daughter Gianna did so remotely. Chauvin's mother spoke, too.

Assuming good behavior, Chauvin will serve two-thirds of the sentence. He'll also get credit for time served. His legal team plans to appeal, but he's also facing federal civil rights charges. (USA Today)
