The white Minnesota police officer Shavin, who was found guilty Tuesday (20) of three counts of murder and manslaughter in the death of black man Floyd by kneeling on his neck last year, will be sentenced on June 16, court documents show. Shavin is currently in custody at the prison outside Minneapolis, and a prison spokesman said Shavin will remain in segregated quarters for security reasons.
Under Minnesota law, the maximum penalty for second-degree unintentional murder is 40 years in prison, third-degree murder is 25 years, and second-degree manslaughter is 10 years. But Shavin, 45, has no prior criminal record, and his presumptive sentences for second- and third-degree murder charges are 12 1/2 years each, according to Minnesota sentencing standards. In addition, Judge Cahill (Peter Cahill) may be sentenced to 10 years and 8 months in prison and 15 years on two counts, respectively, but the state has asked the court to impose a heavier sentence. As for the other three officers in the same case, the hearing will be held this summer, three people have denied all charges.
In addition, the prosecution found that Shawen in the early years of the abuse of violence and kneeling on duty, he subdued a 14-year-old black teenager in 2017 had kneeling neck and pressure on his back for nearly 17 minutes, and hit the teenager with a flashlight, resulting in the teenager to be hospitalized, the Department of Justice is studying whether to prosecute Shawen on this case.
