First Look At Derek Chauvin Since 22.5 Year Prison Sentence For George Floyd’s Murder
Last month, Derek Chauvin was handed down a 22.5 year prison sentence for murdering George Floyd.
TMZ managed to obtain Chauvin’s first mug shot in the slammer where he looks tired and defeated. In the pic from his new home, you can see the ex-cop with a stiff upper lip, barely keeping his eyes open. It was said that the Minnesota Department of Corrections took the new mug shot on June 28 … just 5 days after his sentencing.
As we previously reported, Chauvin, 45, was convicted in April of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter for pressing his knee against Floyd’s neck for about 9 minutes and 29 seconds as the Black man said he couldn’t breathe and begged for his mother. It was an act captured on bystander video, which prompted protests around the world.
Minnesota’s attorney general Keith Ellison said that Chauvin’s sentence was “one of the longest a former police officer has ever received for an unlawful use of deadly force” and it was “another moment of real accountability on the road to justice.”
