    Derek Chauvin, 45, is found guilty on ALL three charges of murder and manslaughter in death of George Floyd: Minneapolis cop is cuffed in court and led straight to prison where he'll spend up to 40 years
    • The jury returned its verdict on Tuesday afternoon after just 10 and a half hours of deliberation
    • As the verdict was read out Chauvin looked on silently in the Hennepin County courtroom
    • Jurors spent three weeks listening to testimony about the day George Floyd died under the weight of Chauvin's knee during an arrest outside the Cup Foods convenience store in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    "The maximum sentence for second-degree unintentional murder is imprisonment of not more than 40 years. The maximum sentence for third-degree murder is imprisonment of not more than 25 years. The maximum sentence for second-degree manslaughter is 10 years and/or $20,000."

    So now it depends on how the judge feels, I guess. If he throws the maximums at Chauvin, it would be 75 years in prison, essentially a life term. But it could be as little as almost nothing and a fine.

    • The judge has revoked Derek Chauvin's bail. Chauvin has been taken into custody where he will wait for his sentencing.

    • The Judge says it will be approximately 8 weeks before Derek Chauvin is sentenced for murdering George Floyd. Chauvin had previously waived his right to have the jury decide his sentence.

    • Chauvin faces up to 40 years in jail.

    The CNN bullet points said (emphasis mine):

    • Chauvin faces up to 40 years in prison for second-degree murder, up to 25 years for third-degree murder and up to 10 years for second-degree manslaughter.

    So that makes it sound like the sentences are cumulative. Which makes sense, otherwise what's the point of multiple charges?

    I believe a judge can impose sentences consecutively or concurrently.

    I am surprised, I thought they would split the baby, so to speak.

    Unfortunate it took a murder the whole world saw and a slew of white cops testifying to get accountability.

    I wanted to think that he would be found guilty, but after the Rodney King cops were let off, I just wasn't completely sure.

    I'm pro-cop but I feel that this was the correct verdict.

    'The jury said, please don't hurt us': Tucker Carlson suggests the Derek Chauvin jury caved to 'the mob' with guilty verdict while Sean Hannity says it was correct and ABC's Sunny Hostin breaks down on air
    • ABC News legal analyst Sunny Hostin said through tears that the guilty verdict in Derek Chauvin's trial brought her some relief
    • 'I am so relieved that this is what justice finally looks like for my community,' she said shortly after Chauvin was found guilty on all three charges against him
    • CNN's Don Lemon and Van Jones also weighed in on the verdict on Tuesday
    • Both hosts agreed that there's still a lot of work to be done, including officers holding one another accountable for their actions
    • Fox News' Judge Jeanine Pirro said that the 'verdict is supported by the facts'
    • Pirro also said that she believes that the 'verdict will be upheld on appeal'
    • Fox News' Sean Hannity told his viewers that the video evidence in this case was 'substantial, it was overwhelming, and it was appalling'
    • But Hannity's colleague Tucker Carlson suggested the verdict was influenced by politicians and that the jurors likely felt threatened

    I saw Jason Johnson. He was not furious with the verdict itself but furious with the idea that everything is solved and now go home.
