Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin should receive an aggravated sentence for his actions leading to the death of George Floyd, prosecutors argued in a legal brief filed on Friday.

“The facts proven beyond a reasonable doubt at trial demonstrate that five aggravating factors support an upward sentencing departure,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a Democrat, and other prosecutors wrote to Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill.
