From CNN:

quote:

The charges are to be considered separate, so he can be convicted of all, some or none of them. If convicted, Chauvin could face up to 40 years in prison for second-degree murder, up to 25 years for third-degree murder, and up to 10 years for second-degree manslaughter.

The actual sentences would likely be much lower, though, because Chauvin has no prior convictions. Minnesota's sentencing guidelines recommend about 12.5 years in prison for each murder charge and about four years for the manslaughter charge. The judge would ultimately decide the exact length and whether those would be served at the same time or back-to-back.

His bail also got revoked on-the-spot (apparently common in Minnesota), so bye.

They could be right, but not in the way they think.

I think there's a moderate probability of cop-induced riots. Enough of that blue wall bullshit came down with fellow cops testifying against him, but like other cities' cops give a flying gently caress about their authority being questioned.

Honestly, I think you’re more likely to see massive non response to call and non enforcement of all but the biggest offenses, which isn’t actually bad per se, but is good for scaring people

They pulled this poo poo in some cities when he was fired and/or charged originally if I remember right. I wouldn't be surprised.

It's alright though, this was more or less predetermined to happen for the safety of the jurors and will be thrown out on appeal because of that. MAXINE WATERS making threats and all. lmfao

I will say it was odd they couldn’t get the trial moved or sequestered. Not that it should change anything, just surprised the Defense couldn’t even win those.

I agree it’s uncommon, but you’d think this ticks all the boxes.

Also that Twitter take is probably not too far off, but I mean even Ted Cruz was saying this was hosed back when it happened.
