This... from a NY Post article:

"He could get up to four decades behind bars for the top count of second-degree murder. The second count of of third degree murder carries a penalty of up to 25 years, but he will only be sentenced on the top count as per state law, said Samuel McCloud, who has practiced criminal law in Minnesota for 44 years.

The third count he was convicted of, second-degree manslaughter, carries a 10-year maximum — but he also will not face sentencing on that count as per state law, McCloud said.

While second-degree murder carries a “statutory maximum” of 40 years in the state, Chauvin will likely face far less time when he is sentenced, as per state sentencing guidelines.

The guidelines call for about 12 years in prison for Chauvin, but prosecutors have asked for an “upward departure” from that, which could add a number of years to the sentence, former prosecutor Susan Gaertner said."


It's ok to quote the NY Post, right? Because I know all media is shit.



Anyway, 12 years in protective custody is a sham of a sentence to hand out to a White Supremacist murderer.

It's an empty victory, having convicted him of three charges, the most serious being 2nd-degree murder.

I wonder what "guidelines" they're referring to.

Are these the guidelines where they treat White Supremacist murdering cops different than the rest of the population? Those guidelines?

Now I'M the one who's confused.
