That’s like the max. He’s getting royally screwed. Luckily his appeal will play out in a year or two. By then the woke gang will find another criminal to lionize.

I’ve read elsewhere that the max in this case was 30 years. And that’s what is going to make the mob unhappy. Chauvin did not get the max.
Unhappily, he’ll get another 10 years as a guest of Uncle Sam for violating Floyd’s civil rights under color of state law.
Minnesota allows for release after service of 2/3 of a sentence, so Chauvin might emerge from solitary confinement in 2036 or so, only to be put in a federal slammer after that. He has to do 85% of a federal sentence, so, assuming he lives so long, we won’t be back out on the street until late 2044 or early 2045.
Chauvin appears to have lost weight in prison, as his suit was clearly too big for him. Also, the Judge appears to have had a couple of belts of whiskey during the recess prior to the reading of the sentence. His face was flush and he was clearly nervous and trembling.
