Is this a manslaughter charge? Thought it was second degree? He should be jailed for life. Murderer!

9jakool:

So you are saying if someone can perform in bed for thirty minutes, they should also be able to withstand lack of air for 9 minutes without dying? Where do you pull your logic from?

Also, kneeling on someone's neck for over 9 minutes is not "a few minutes." So, If someone knelt on your neck deliberately for 9 minutes and you begged them to stop but they didn't, you would be fine with it because they didn't intend to kill you?

His police colleagues and the department heads testified against him, just to show that he's not a positive role model as you are claiming. Also, people in the community have filled at least 16 complaints of his excessive use of force against him prior to this incident. He abused his power and he got held accountable. End of story.

Some Nigerians are really stupidd, they will stand for anything that is against people of African descent in the US
I don't know where this comes from but so many nigerians, especially igbos have issues with African Americans and it reflects in such people supporting Derek Chauvin

abbey621:


Just like EndSARS officers never meant to kill some people, it just got out of control, most of the victims were lazy youths anywhere high on drugs.... Just a political tool used by PDP to try and win 2023 elections......Eleribu

This sentence is an overkill by the judge who is apparently trying to seem politically correct for the black community.

Considering that Derek was a Law enforcement officer who had sacrificed his time and skill to help keep Minneapolis safe, they should have just sentenced him to 2-years imprisonment considering that he never intended to kill Big George.

How in the world was Derek to know that the same guy who could fvck for over 30minutes straight in his porn videos and a trained security personnel could not withstand a few minutes' knee-hold.

A policeman will do his job on your life too.

Akinsete19:
Even though I wasn't right, you are also not right.
You are a typical Nigerian who is very dull and feel to know too much, that is why you can't comment without insulting. Very low IQ.

segunjowo:
Good for him. But the time is too short. Should've been > 50 yrs

Simplicity0555:


Lol..... the fact remains his sentence is 22.5years

He is serving guaranteed 2/3 of the time which is 15years and the remaining 7.5years will depend on his behavior and other factors.

Oya say another one. Pained idiot

fergie001:

Count 1: second-degree unintentional murder,

Count 2: third-degree murder and

Count 3: second-degree manslaughter in the killing of George Floyd.

Chauvin was found guilty of all the counts against him, but in Minnesota, a person convicted of multiple crimes for a single incident is typically only sentenced for the most severe charge. In this case, that's second-degree murder.

The maximum sentence for that charge is 40 years, but state sentencing guidelines recommend 12.5 years in prison for a conviction on unintentional second-degree murder for someone with no criminal history.

Prosecutors sought an upward departure from that duration, arguing that there were multiple aggravating factors in the case.

AGGRAVATING FACTORS
-He abused Power and Authority
-He committed the act in the presence of persons under 18.
(Can't remember the two others).

The Defence Attorney argued that where there are aggravating factors, there are also mitigating factors.
Chauvin had served for 19 years with clean record.

PERSONAL VERDICT
He had an opportunity to perhaps have less but I believe the pressure of the case as well as he & his mother's Victim Impact Statements were "cocky" and non-emotional.

He had no colleague(s) who could even step up for him & all that.

His Attorney sounded more sympathetic to the Floyd family than even both of them.

However, the Judge might have even made up his mind before today.

I pray the same treatment given to George Floyd is given to you and let's see how you will survive

God bless you for this analysis.

Are you a lawyer?

jchioma:


A brilliant submission I must admit, however, I am happy to see justice served, even though it was not to my expectations. Thanks.

Judolisco:
u can make ur point without abusing anyone... Autopsy test shows significant amount of drugs in his system... And the black lives matter uprising was because of him an Jo Biden capitalized on it

My father is the stupid one

sydneyboss:



He typed rubbish and you follow by typing the most stupid statement ever, u don't have to go tribal before making your point... it makes the two of you.

abbey621:


What does that have to do with kneeling on someone's neck? When you hear the person begging for his life saying he can't breathe, you continued for minutes more till life departed from him, there's no police training or rule in the USA that supports such actions and video of the incident shows that the guy was not combative but you sit your ass in front of a computer and rant like a programmed bot with no empathy, I'm very sure you were one of those shouting ENDSARS, imagine if SARS had actually offed your papa or mama, would you be defending the indefensible? This is the reality of black lives for many in America not the jargon you wrote above!

Judolisco:
like I said u can make your point without insults... But since you don't have anything to say u hide behind insults.. Little man with small mentality... Run along.. If he really had d intention of killing d man then he would have gotten a more longer sentence... But thank God d judge doesn't reason d way you do...i also said Biden capitalized on d man's death... Coronavirus and BLM was d main topic of d last election...

TheSupleemLeada:



Fvck off.

abbey621:


Can you see why I called you a bot? Your IQ and knowledge of the American judicial system is laughable! You sit your ass in Nigeria commenting crap while those affected directly bear the brunt and I'm the one with the small mentality? If your brain functioned like it shoud, a brief reserach on the topic of police brutality in the USA would informed you of how police officers rarely ever got jail time for situations like this and the fact that he got over 20 years is a mjor breakthrough but what do I know, those of y'all in 9ja are experts on the US justice system than most of us living over here, oversabi nation
