Chauvin sentencing hearing looms after Floyd death
After a guilty verdict, Derek Chauvin faces a sentencing hearing in Hennepin County. Prosecutors seek about 30 years, while defense requests probation and time served for the May 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The judge will consider aggravating factors before announcing a sentence, with Floyd family victims delivering impact statements. Chauvin could face decades in prison despite appeals and federal charges.
