I still don't begin to understand what was going through his head.

Was he really entirely indifferent to whether George Floyd died? Or worse, did he intend to kill him, right there in public view? The trial says yes on both counts. And it sure looks that way. But what sort of dead brain does he have if that's the case.

Usually, you can kind of figure things out as panic or anger or something. But this was just totally weird. A sort of nothing where basic human sympathy is.

Maybe being a policeman does that to a person. People who work in A&E apparently get that way too. The only way to do the job is without emotion.

He's going to have a long time to reflect.

Judge's ruling allows for longer sentence for Derek Chauvin in murder of George Floyd

The judge who oversaw Derek Chauvin's murder trial ruled Wednesday that there were four aggravating factors in the killing of George Floyd, a decision that allows the judge to give Chauvin a lengthier prison sentence.

Chauvin, the 45-year-old former Minneapolis Police officer, was convicted of two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter last month for kneeling on the neck and back of Floyd, handcuffed and lying prone on the street, for 9 minutes and 29 seconds.

He could face up to 40 years in prison for second-degree murder, up to 25 years for third-degree murder and up to 10 years for manslaughter. Chauvin has no prior criminal record, so Minnesota's sentencing guidelines recommend about 12 and a half years in prison for each murder charge and about four years for the manslaughter charge.
