[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Chauvin is in federal court in Minneapolis to plead guilty to three civil rights violations for murdering George Floyd and arresting a teenager in 2017
- He will be sentenced to 25 years in prison, that he will serve at the same time as his current 22 year sentence for murder
That first sentence would have got him out on good behaviour after only 15 years — do federal sentences have that kind of condition?
- It means he will spend an extra three years in prison than previously thought
- As part of the deal, he also pleaded guilty to violating the rights of a black 14-year-old who he arrested in 2017
- In that case, he used a chokehold on the teenager and hit him with a flashlight
- Chauvin had been called to the teenager's home by his mother who claimed he assaulted her
- Chauvin said the teen lay on his bedroom floor and ignored his verbal commands
