A federal judge on Wednesday accepted a plea deal to sentence Derek Chauvin to up to 25 years in prison for violating George Floyd’s constitutional rights by murdering him on a Minneapolis street. The disgraced ex-Minneapolis cop pleaded guilty to a federal charge in December 2021 for depriving Floyd of his constitutional rights to be free from unreasonable force from a police officer. “The defendant held his left knee across Mr. Floyd’s neck, back, and shoulder, and his right knee on Mr. Floyd’s back and arm,” the plea agreement states.
