In April, Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter following an emotional and intense trial that was watched nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>The sentence will result into Chauvin serving 15 years with time served being credited and if he maintains good behavior. Chauvin, 45, will be released when he is 60 years old. He will also have to register as a predatory offender and will not be allowed to own any firearms. He will also have to pay the Minnesota Department of Corrections $78 out of his prison wages.<br \/>\nThe former Minneapolis officer was sentenced on the most serious charge, the judge also found aggravating factors including abuse of authority for why Chauvin must serve at least two-thirds of his sentence behind bars.<\/p>\n<p>Chauvin is widely expected to appeal his sentence. He is also looking at facing trial on federal civil rights charges, along with the other three officers who were involved with Floyd\u2019s murder and are still awaiting their trials this upcoming August.<\/p>\n<p>[si-contact-form form=&#8217;2&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nikki Slusher Derek Chauvin has been sentenced to 22-and-half years in prison.
