Derek Chauvin Sentenced To 22.5 Years For George Floyd's Murder

Though Chauvin is expected to appeal, for Floyd's loved ones — and millions worldwide — the sentence represents, for now, a final act of justice.

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin received a 22.5-year prison sentence on Friday, two months after being found guilty on all counts in the murder of George Floyd.  Though Chauvin is expected to appeal, for Floyd's loved ones — and millions around the world — the sentence represents, for now, a final act of justice. The prosecution, however, had asked for 30 years.
