Trump needs to pardon him in March of ‘25.’
If he is in federal prison at that time, he would be sent back to Minnesota to complete his state sentence.
Not quite sure Chauvin would be all that happy to leave the confines of a federal facility and brought straight to a state prison.
Let him escape.
EXPLAINER: Chauvin’s federal prison future in Floyd’s death
By STEVE KARNOWSKI - Associated Press 5 hrs ago
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is about to swap solitary confinement at Minnesota’s only maximum security prison for an unknown future at a federal prison.
Experts say that despite Chauvin’s national notoriety for killing George Floyd, he probably will be safer at whatever federal prison he’s placed, and might have a bit more freedom there.
Chauvin will be sentenced Thursday on federal civil rights charges. He’s already serving 22 1/2 years for his conviction in state court on murder and manslaughter charges.
His plea deal on the federal charges calls for a concurrent sentence of 20 to 25 years in federal prison.
