Hmm. I haven't looked into the judge. My guess is that he won't diverge from sentencing guidelines, which would mean 12.5 years for either murder charge. But I'm holding out hope that if Chauvin is found guilty of 2nd degree murder, which is what I feel he should be found guilty of, that the judge will see his crime as so heinous (as it was) that he will throw the book at him for something above the 12.5. He can give him as much as 40 years, from what I understand.
I can't imagine him getting off free or getting off only with manslaughter, but imagine if he only gets 3rd degree murder, knowing that the charge was almost dismissed before they began. That would mean that he'd be close to getting off with no murder charge, and possibly off completely free if they don't go with manslaughter. The only reason they reinstated the 3rd degree murder charge is because that's what they used when the white woman was killed by the black ****** cop, so they couldn't ignore the precedent.
Chavin rafter he’s convicted will meet with court appointed people who will get his whole history and make sentencing recommendations to the judge. Ultimately the judge can depart from those recommendations, but he’ll have to justify why.
Chavin is not getting off.
