22 1/2 years? Derek Chauvin's sentence was nowhere near long enough

 Unless he was sentenced to prison for 22 1/2 years longer than his victim, George Floyd, is dead.


From CNN -

Derek Chauvin sentenced to 22.5 years in death of George Floyd


Derek Chauvin, the former police officer who killed George Floyd on a Minneapolis street last year, was sentenced Friday to 22 and half years in prison.

Chauvin, in a light gray suit and tie and white shirt, spoke briefly before the sentence was imposed, offering his "condolences to the Floyd family."
Under Minnesota law, Chauvin will have to serve two-thirds of his sentence, or 15 years -- and he will be eligible for supervised release for the remaining seven and a half years.
