State of Minnesota v. Derek Michael Chauvin was an American criminal case in the District Court of Minnesota in 2021. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was tried and convicted for the murder of George Floyd, which occurred during an arrest on May 25, 2020, and led to global protests over racial injustice and police brutality.
As part of the failed deal, Chauvin was expected to plead guilty to third-degree murder and agree to a ten-year prison sentence. As he would have gone to federal prison, the federal government was involved, but Barr worried that protesters might view the agreement as too lenient and opted for a full investigation.
In April 2021, Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 22 + 1 ⁄ 2 years in prison. Chauvin later pleaded guilty to the federal charge of deprivation of rights under color of law and was sentenced to a concurrent 21 years in prison.
