Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin received a 270-month prison sentence Friday for second-degree unintentional murder in the death of George Floyd last spring. "I want to acknowledge the deep and tremendous pain that all the families are feeling, especially the Floyd family," Cahill said. I acknowledge the pain not only of those in this courtroom, but the Floyd family outside this courtroom and other members of the community." Before the sentencing, Floyd's brothers read impact statements, lawyers for both sides delivered remarks, and Chauvin, speaking only briefly, expressed condolences to the Floyd family. But today, with Chauvin’s sentence, we take a significant step forward – something that was unimaginable a very short time ago.
