BREAKING: Ex-Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin has pleaded guilty to federal charges of violating George Floyd’s civil rights. Chauvin’s plea means he will not face a federal trial in January, though he could end up spending more years behind bars.http://apne.ws/3TWjZg4

Federal prosecutors recommended up to 25 years, in prison. A judge will determine his sentence later, but a 25-year federal sentence would likely extend Chauvin's time behind bars by about six years.http://apne.ws/Pj9mnQG

Chauvin also pleaded guilty to violating the rights of a 14-year-old boy during a 2017 arrest. "George Floyd would still be here” if Chauvin had been held accountable for the earlier incident, Floyd’s nephew, Brandon Williams, said after the hearing.http://apne.ws/54T1cFL
