Derek Chauvin Is Sentenced To 22 1/2 Years

A Minnesota judge sentenced Derek Chauvin to 22 1/2 years in prison Friday for the murder of George Floyd — a punishment that exceeds the state's minimum guidelines but falls short of prosecutors' request of a 30-year sentence. 

The punishment will include the 199 days Chauvin has already served, Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill said.
