Derek Chauvin Will Be Sentenced To 20 To 25 Years In Prison After Plea Deal Accepted

The sentence for the civil rights case could be served concurrently with the sentencing for his murder conviction on the state level, according to CNN.

In December, Chauvin pleaded guilty to violating Floyd’s rights and admitted that he kept his knee on Floyd’s neck after he became unresponsive, NBC News reports. He also admitted that he willfully deprived Floyd of his right to be free from unreasonable seizure.

As Blavity previously reported, the former officer asked the Minnesota Court of Appeals to overturn his murder conviction.
