Derek Chauvin To Be Sentenced This Evening For Murder Of George Floyd
The former Minneapolis police officer knelt on the black man's neck for more than nine minutes, prompting worldwide protests against racial injustice
Experts think he'll be jailed for up to 30 years, following his conviction in April.
Mary Moriarty is a former local public defender:
"I think the probability is that he will get the 30 years. And I say that based on what the judge wrote in his order, when he found aggravating factors about the abuse of trust, and about the particular cruelty here."
