Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin faces the prospect of a lengthier prison sentence after a judge this week agreed with prosecutors that he abused his position of authority while arresting George Floyd last year.
It has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that Chauvin used unreasonable force in restraining Floyd, Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill ruled in a May 11 order made public on May 12, citing how jurors convicted Chauvin of three counts, including second-degree murder.
