Derek Chauvin, the former police officer convicted in the murder of George Floyd, was sentenced to 22 years and six months in prison.
Chauvin was convicted April 20 of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
The former police officer, who has been in jail since his conviction, also faces separate federal civil rights charges in connection in Floyd’s death.
Floyd, a Black man, was killed in May 2020 when Chauvin, who is white, kneeled on his neck for more than nine minutes.
