Derek Chauvin Begs for Light Sentence

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of the murder of George Floyd, has requested a judge reduce his sentence to time served or probation, the Daily Beast reports.

Chauvin’s lawyers emphasized Chauvin’s “hard-working, law abiding life” and attempted to minimize his killing of Floyd, calling it “an error made in good faith reliance his own experience as a police officer.”
