Convicted murderer and disgraced former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is now about to swap solitary confinement and fears of run-ins with cons he helped put away in state prison for a comfier, safer stay at a federal facility.
On Thursday, Chauvin was sentenced to 21 years in federal prison for violating George Floyd’s civil rights when he knelt on the Black man’s neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds as he begged for air saying “I can’t breathe” until he died.
