The second-degree murder charge says Chauvin intentionally assaulted Floyd with his knee, which unintentionally caused Floyd's death. The third-degree murder charge says Chauvin acted with a "depraved mind, without regard for human life." And the second-degree manslaughter charge says Chauvin's "culpable negligence" caused Floyd's death.
The charges are to be considered separate, so Chauvin could be convicted of all, some or none of them. If convicted, Chauvin could face up to 40 years in prison for second-degree murder, up to 25 years for third-degree murder and up to 10 years for second-degree manslaughter.
The actual sentences would likely be much lower, though, because Chauvin has no prior convictions. Minnesota's sentencing guidelines recommend about 12.5 years in prison for each murder charge and about four years for the manslaughter charge.
I'd bet you a hundred dollars that many places will burn tonight.Well, I'm shocked that they convicted on 2nd degree murder, but I can see why they would. When Chauvin kept kneeling on Floyd after he passed out and another officer couldn't find a pulse, you could consider that to be felonious assault, which pushes it to murder 2.
So I'll count this as a happy ending. The country won't go up in flames this time.

To God be the glory, this is an example of the power of prayer. For once the judicial system has worked, let this be an example to police officers everywhere. I was going to leave this country now I’m thinking about staying.
Because it's human nature.Why would places burn tonight?
Couple possibilities: The proud boys, e. g., march and, 2) You ever see people loot when their favorite team wins? It seems unlikely that nothing will happen.Why would places burn tonight?
