Floyd: 4 weeks for the sentence, agent risks up to 75 years

(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, APR 21 - It will take another eight weeks to establish the conviction of former agent DerekChauvin, after yesterday a jury in Minneapolis held him responsible for all three counts for the murder of George Floyd. This was reported by Judge Peter Cahill who will also have to evaluate any aggravating circumstances, such as the fact that the suffocation of the African American took place before the eyes of a child. Overall, the former policeman risks up to 75 years for the three crimes, although the Minnesota guidelines recommend 12.5 years for second and third degree murder and 4 for negligent homicide. The prosecution, however, asked for a harsher sentence than that suggested by those guidelines. (HANDLE).
