Chauvin to be sentenced in 8 weeks, faces up to 40 years

Chauvin sentencing hearing will be in eight weeks.

The maximum sentence for second-degree murder is 40 years in prison, but Minnesota sentencing guidelines suggest he's more likely to receive up to 15 years.

However, the state is permitted to ask for the full 40 years.

"I expect the prosecution to ask for more time" than the 15 years, ABC News Legal Analyst Dan Abrams said.


Chauvin bail revoked, taken into custody

Upon being found guilty on all charges, prosecutors asked that Chauvin's bail be revoked, which was granted by the judge.

The former officer was escorted from the courtroom when proceedings concluded.



Chauvin guilty on all counts

The jury has found former Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder in the death of George Floyd.

Chauvin was also found guilty of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.


Police departments across US brace for Derek Chauvin verdict

Police departments across the U.S. are bracing for potential protests after the Derek Chauvin verdict.

Thousands of National Guard soldiers have been deployed throughout Minneapolis, where George Floyd was killed and Chauvin, now a former Minneapolis police officer, waits to learn his fate from the jury, who are on their second day of deliberations.

A state of emergency has been declared in the region.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Monday, "I am grateful to our colleagues in Ohio and Nebraska for their willingness to provide assistance and relief to our state troopers and law enforcement officers as they continue to work to keep the peace in our communities."

In Washington, D.C., 250 National Guard troops have been activated. A guard spokesperson said those troops are only "preparing to support" the local police department, so their presence won't be seen unless they're needed by police.

The Chicago Police Department said last week that it was also deploying extra resources throughout the city.

The police department said "days off have been cancelled for members of the Community Safety Team, Critical Incident Response Team, Summer Mobile Patrol, all Area Detectives and additional specialized teams."

In Los Angeles, Police Chief Michel Moore said Monday that "added resources are already in play," the Los Angeles Times reported.

The LAPD said it's retrained thousands of officers in crowd-control tactics, the LA Times reported.
